Google and YouTube Outage Dry Run for Impending Blackout?

This morning Google had a wittle boo-boo. YouTube had a wittle oopsie. Google Home and Nest users couldn't adjust their thermostats or lights. Frankly, if you're stupid enough to let Big Tech control your home, you deserve what you get!

But I digress.

All the Google apps went down this morning...sorta'. The outage only affected some people in select places. Am I the only one with dubiously raised eyebrows???

According to the DailyMail, "There has been no explanation provided for today's difficulties." Later Google blamed it on, "internal storage quota issue."

Uh-huh. Apparently, they forgot to include "buy more servers" on last week's grocery shopping list. That just doesn't happen.

Internet “kill switch” anyone?

BTW - if that does happen, your credit card, Debit card and ATM card will be useless.

Hope you have some **cash** stashed away at your house...

Considering Incognito Mode allowed you to still use services, I’d say more than likely poor widdle Google couldn’t handle the deluge of people logging in to find about the electoral college!

Are you pimping Lenora’s trash now?
Cool, y’all got a needy-blogpimp-read-my-stuff tag team scene going on.

It doesn’t need to be excerpted though.
Post the whole messed up jumble of messy mess.

This isn’t y’alls personal hit farm.

Get a job.

It’s obvious that YOU don’t have a job, or you wouldn’t have time to do nothing but spam your complaints on every thread you don’t like. Maybe YOU should get a job.

Well my Google Home interfaces with a third party light control switch.

So even though I couldn’t tell Google Home to turn out the lights. I was able to go to the third party phone app and turn the lights out without Google home.

I also could have gotten up and turned off the wall switch.

I suspect they were down because of the CISA warning/order to remove all SOLARWINDS ORION NETWORK MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS.

Just my educated guess.

I'm in Asia.

All the big services down one hour or so. Completely dead. Internet remained available throughout.

Even Downdetector remained in service, but it was showing red for all of Europe, and Asia yellow (sort of available). Which was odd, because every service I checked (on Downdetector) from Asia was red, DOA. Ain't that strange.

Maybe that IS my job. Wouldn't that mean I'm super busy and on the job ALL THE TIME?

Check yourself, Jack.

Maybe YOU should get a job.

Is that an offer? What kind of job are you offering?

I’m offering you a full-time gig to STFU. Doesn’t pay any money, but you’ll gain respect around here by doing it.
