#362All services are still down,
https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status
Crisis averted, was not locked out. Gotta take out all the data though when it gets back up.
Re: Google outage – resolved
#363Just 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
Now it's all red

#364Seems the issue is related to the google authentication system since if logged out you can visit youtube without error

#365So, 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.
Clever.

#366Just got a text from my kids' school saying GMail is down and to use the school's direct email. Immediate reaction was "Google isn't down you idiots, the problem is on your end", go to check GMail, yep it's down.

#367Luckily nobody is using Google services for anything critical. Or what, are you?
Re: Google outage – resolved
#368edit: added details edit: redacted my phone number edit: big mistake to add phone number edit: I think illic is right, probably not me edit: removed details
What exactly did you do that makes you so confident?

#369Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems like everyone going on HN now. The site is so slow
Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down? Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvoted HN post ever? 8 mins -> ~350 votes, 15 mins -> ~750 votes. I wonder if @dang could chime in with some stats? Update: looks like it hit 1000 upvotes in ~25 mins! Update: 1500 in ~40 mins Update: 2000 in ~1 hour 20 mins (used the HN API for the timestamp)
Some politics topics have shot up pretty quickly in the past but user and/or mod flags send them back to page 2 about as quickly.

#370Help! My Waymo taxi won't open the doors without me logging into the app. Its driving around in circles on route 500 and won't stop.
