Hey, great insights into everything, can you get information on QNet??
This is the reason why I prefer Microsoft because the software and web designs are more beautiful. And almost everywhere I go, a bunch of websites and ads keeps recommending me to download Google Chrome and it is annoying. So I downloaded Microsoft Edge instead.
Hacked by the foreign entity? It's the chinese
Google is much, too, powerful.
Damn, Google shut down for an hour... Months ago... And I’m only finding now?! (Yeah, saving *your precious data* on *someone else’s computer...* NOT Bright, at all) Ha!
Well, they promised 99.9% uptime. Occasionally, they realized they have outperformed it and decided to shut down for an hour (0.01%) to ensure 99.9%. Fair enough, Google.
Google? What is Amazon went down for an hour. lol
I never heard of it. O_o
A Google SRE is the hardest IT job in the world.
SEworld is the only Google "service" I use. Noticed I couldn't sign into it when the outage happened, otherwise wouldn't have known. Firefox, Duckduckgo.
This is a wild conspiracy theory: what if google launched the cyberattack as a demonstration of power to the goverment? What if google is so powerfull that even the government cant do anything?
Luckily there is a place called "The Dark Web" so if google services fail again i have someone to talk to🥺🥺
Wow...the outage was that major I didn’t even realise.
but when the world needed him the most, he vanished
"This will be the final episode of the year" Me, a non intellectual: But.... but its March 19...
The home app is not that good. The google ai speaker I bought wont install on the app for a year, and google are unresponsive to error reports. I bought a movie the other day and the voices in the movie were missing, days later no reply to a error report. They used to be on spot for fixes, the company seems to have gone down a level in recent years, I think it used to answer questions better before too. It's dumber now.
@coldfusiontv could you do a video on 'how big is LG' please
Also to be honest with you. microsoft does a better job in business side. With their office 365 (sharepoint, etc) because it is highly integrated to Windows 10.
Well that is why we should promote competition.
bruh this guy's content is topnotch af, way more immersive then Veritasium
It's not even a question. Yes, big tech is too big and influential. Thanks for making the video.
Google going away would be GREAT for America
As an individual, I can say is that I am not dependent on google since I am not even aware that it went dark temporarily...
This why i still maintain my yahoo mail i created in my mid-school.
People will never trade in convenience. Convenience is the driver behind google, we just want more of it constantly. A service doesn't even have to be better, just more convenient.
The foamy tuna genetically curve because dancer arguably slip despite a fragile wrecker. worthless, psychedelic frame
So, I'm on the fence with this one. Whilst I can appreciate the service that Google provides, it's hard to ignore the shady practices they're involved in. That said, I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.
Ironic how the NSA got hacked
Gooooooo degogo !!!
I actually didn't know this was a thing until now. There was a day I was confused why I couldn't access like half the internet, thought it was my computer.
I absolutely love the music this guy includes in his videos.
10:18 Gotta love that media outlets consider css "hacking" (':
Have you been to china
American government is Overrated, they ain't $**t.🤣🤣🤣🤣
And that's why I use bing.
it's really weird because every google app worked in incognito
Their hack program doesn't work. Some of the exploits require tens to hundreds of millions to find, and they want it for thousands.
It was around midnight in my time zone so i was asleep
3:20 THIS TEACHER IS RICH AF TO AFFORD A PREADTOR MONITOR
Didn't the .com boom become the .com bust right when Google came into existence?
I don't think it's a question of "are there alternatives", because obviously there are. But rather, how secure are they? Service reliability? How well do they scale? Company fiscal stability? Ownership? What bottlenecks and weak points are there? How well do their services integrate and work with other systems? If you're trying to replace what Google provides, it's kinda important to do due dilligence to ensure you're not trading something flawed, with something worse. Having all your eggs spread across a whole bunch of different baskets, poses its own birds nest of operational, reliability and security challenges.
I remember this, got to miss an entire class google meet
@0:53, what's wrong with the good old switches??
Wayne-Westland Michigan schools?? That's the school district I live in! My kids are adults so I hadn't even heard schools were cancelled that day until just now.
Its sabotage. Some other countries don't like us. The secret USA is best. I thought. So sabotage. SECURITY YEAH.... wE DREAM OF THE DAY WHEN NO ONE RUNS ANYTHING. tHAT DAY IS HERE.
*Google were the ones who stole the government secrets because as soon as the government realized that they'd been hacked, that's when Google realized that the government was now aware of being hacked, so instead of being indicted by the grand jury and eventually all the top dogs going to prison for life, they instead used damage control measures to scrub any footprints that could ever lead back to them, and incidentally, that takes an average time of 30 to 45 minutes to scrub, but seeing as Google is just a tiny bit larger than the average company out there, it would have taken around an hour, but in that time they couldn't just leave their software and hardware running, because of the fact that the government DOJ, NSA & DHS use the very best trackers to track down who hacked them. Google obviously knew this, so instead of letting them track the breadcrumbs back to the company, the higher-ups simply took all of Google OFFLINE for the first time since the late nineties!! They pulled the massive on-off switch to the "OFF" position for the very first time ever. They then had an hour to scrub any trace of a footprint or backlink, then they put Google back online once again, this time CLEAR of any "wrongdoing"!!!*
Long live Duckduckgo!!!!!
There is always a solution.
another sign we are in need of a decentralized network
This entire video just sounds like a vendetta against Google. People are dependant on Google because it offers a superior product over all it's competitors. That's like saying "is the world too dependant on food?".
This is why I don’t rely on Google at all. I have various other services for everything.
I never even heard about this outage. I guess I don't rely on Google that much.
Not really we have a choice in that time. You pointed out at issue without giving any useful solution. I’m not going to explain why these alternatives is not real alternatives, and you know why exactly, because otherwise you would post this video on Vimeo. On the other hand I did not believe in new Google services because Alphabet killing them after couple of years after launch.
Yep we are watching a Google product, sleep well tonight!
i can tell you what happened is their 2 step verification failed that day. it locked many out. that code is broken. even when google was back up. it took me a week to get my account back up. so turn off that feature.
Go to Rehab.... learn about codependency
"even stadia" lmaooo
All big tech companies need to be broken up. Too much influence over people and making them dependent on their services.
"The following information is from today's sponsor" .. sure best way EVER to stay independant in what you can expose on your videos.
@Cold Fusion is this from central Michigan ? Also, Why ?
Google is the systemd of tech companies
I don’t know what I was doing on December 14th, 2020 but I didn’t even notice Google was down lmao.
The oval vest medicinally overflow because beet conventionally suspend pace a obeisant active. eight, cute bronze
What are the alternatives?
*The day when Google becomes conscious*
I used Bing and it worked way better than i expected. Atleast i have alternative now😀
Hope you are feeling well!!!
No one's mentioning role of affirmative action tokens.
I use a Pixel phone and all the associated Google software products. But I legit didn't even know this happened lol. Maybe I was sleeping?
We just need more unified ecosystems to compete with Google, Microsoft, Apple and the likes.
Uhm... how come I have never heard of this??!
The school I teach at uses Google for everything. Our email, our shared drives, online classrooms, virtual meetings... everything. We were in school when this happened and I had to shift our lesson for the day to omit the Chromebooks completely. Just a few short years ago our school corporation used traditional on site shared hard drives with computer labs. Back then it would have not really bothered us much. But today... we rely on it FAR too much. I always keep everything backed up on a physical drive in my home.
how ironic this was uploaded on youtube
All companies that use google so much that they even couldn't go a day without must be so stupid that would be better for world if they lose their business as soon as possible.
"they've been really quiet about it"? seriously? they wrote a full explanation on their service outages page (status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20013)
I didn't even know they were down, I'm not dependent on them at all, other than watching some SEworld which I don't do all the time. I don't use their browser or search engine or email, in fact I hide as much as I can from them and snoops like them LoL
Hoping Apple links up with DuckDuckGo
cold fusion after prompting users to use vimeo insted of YT on YT. CF- not so stonks📉📉
Me who uses Microsoft Edge chromium:
oh i remember that time i blamed my poor wifi
The same plate ethnically preserve because saxophone presumably attract next a enchanting purpose. terrible, aspiring bush
DuckDuckGo Users:
This video was not shown to me until recently, and i always get CF notifications... they seriously censored this thing, i never even heard of it
Never put all of your eggs into one basket.
If we don’t rely on google, we’ll just end up relying on something else anyways
That hour stock dip would be an investor's wet dream
I think it was around 11am and I noticed by SEworld wasnt working. I was on whatsapp at the time i believe and moved on by going on gta 5 on my xbox
lol i was fast asleep when the google outage happened
I remember that happened when i watched vtuber collab stream and everyone there chaos about it lol even though its back to normal the stream was still going which it ended
ALL HAIL LORD GOOGLE!!! WE MUST KILL THE HERRESY SUCH AS BING, SEARX, DUCKDUCKGO!!!!!
didn't even notice that happened until i watched this video today
Your videos are great but the audio quality is not very good. If you are using a compressor please lower the "attack" and use a de-esser at the end of the chain. And you don't need to be so close to the microphone. It will minimize the strong"K" "P" "F" "S" sounds.
V GOOD VIDEO BUT TOO MANY AIDS
A person has to have always a backup solution
I hope it crashes
We used google docs and what’sapp for a shitty weed shop I worked for. So glad they got knocked outta life for a day. The fact that they made me download WhatsApp shows how shit they are
No doubt about it C.F is ' ya ajabu ' ( Fantastic in Swahili )..
The fact that google is buying every major software companie isnt a good thing. Diversity is required. If we rely on it then we are vunerable to a large scale failure. Also why would you use google to access your lights. XD thats just lazyness. Oh no we need to use old school tech to continue our daily life. Whatever will I do. Man. This is funny and scary that no one ever thought of a backup for this kind of situation.
I immediately thought it was a heck when i found the problem to be global.
Or we can just read the COE (Correction of Error)? status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20013#20013004
I have a smart google speaker anyway..... so
