Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

Out of curiosity, what response time do you expect on a page like that? And what level of detail? I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.

It's not like they would be working on the status page right now, that work should have been done a long time ago...

So, anybody still feel like arguing that 'the cloud' is a viable back-up? Or is that a sore point right now? Just for a moment imagine: what if it never comes back again? Of course it will, - at least, it better - but what if it doesn't? And if it does, are you going to take countermeasures in case it happens again or is it just going to be 'back to normal' again?

Just a few moments ago, I wrote in my company's group chat this is the time when we buy NAS. We have a lot of documents not accessible right now in Google Drive.

The fact it seems to be related to login reminds me of the Tom Scott doomsday fictional lecture which I would link to but you know...

Nice. very subtle reference to our dependability on google products. you can still link the YT lecture from a private session.

And somehow Pokemon Go is down, too. They use GCP for hosting, but I'm not seeing other outages on GCP. Maybe they have deeper integration with Google's Cloud than publicly disclosed?

Google Maps for sure, maybe some GCP as well (as console is down, Discord and Playstation Network as well are having issues - which seems like some GCP service)
