Google is down, the END is upon us

I'm at work.

Kicked out of email, drive, chat...
Even the chrome security update gave problems to a platform we use this morning.

Time to panic!

Google voice and my nest devices are out. I am in Hungary, but the devices are in the US

YouTube too but it seems only registered accounts are offline. IF you login without it (private mode) it works.

500 Internal Server Error on GMail -- they done fucked up now. Good to know I'm not the only one breaking applications when releasing stuff.

You can still access Youtube in an incognito window, or other browser, it's something to do with the login server, says my account doesn't exist anymore!

I met a guy once who told me the story of how he had crashed the whole of Amazon for 20 minutes. He came into work hung over one day and pushed out an update that had "This is the specific thing you need to check otherwise it's big trouble" without checking that specific thing. He went out to smoke a cigarette while the update was happening and when he got back in the building it was chaos.

He basically went to whoever he needed to to let them know it was his fault and they fixed it within 20 minutes. The only reason he didn't get fired (they would have found out it was him anyway) was that he owned the mistake and it could be corrected without a lengthier problem solving process. At the time he said that outage had cost Amazon 25 million dollars.

The END is about to end, they "expect a resolution for all users in the near future"

Edit: OK now that I think about it, this means that we're all about to die. We had a great run though. See you on the flipside

Might explain why I thought Youtube was slow last night.

Glad I'm on vacation today and not at work, it would be a mess at work without Google services.

I'd be so pissed if my Google Home failed to wake me up this morning as a result of this.

That's the scary thing about tying your alarm clock to a network like that. Even if the wifi went out one morning, I could be screwed. Knock on wood.

I already have one. Google Home is cool though because I have one in every room, and can fall asleep anywhere in the house and use it. I can also set it just by saying "hey Google set an alarm for 7 o clock" etc. So convenient

That's cool, though I just can't talk to machines. I tried but I feel like a dork and I prefer to press buttons. :messenger_beaming:
