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

It is all green if you do not need to be logged in.

If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error.

You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

https://downdetector.com/ is remarkably good at catching this too.

But funnily enough, a lot of the votes come from traffic that searches for "is ____ down?" on Google. XD

Pretty funny. I would normally assume they are connected to some testing unit that real users interface with. Vs internal APIs or however Google is doing this with them still being green

Good. Now, at least a few people would search Google alternatives in DDG

Search is still working. It’s Drive, Meet, and other stuff that millions of people depend on for work, so maybe stow your glee for a moment.
