aidan o driscoll Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Really does expose a huge flaw doesnt it .. the massive reliance on cloud services provided by a very small few companies - Google, Microsoft From a tweet: Google was down for what, twenty minutes? In that time I couldn't access any of my work, at all, couldn't view the monitor in the baby's bedroom, and missed a delivery because the doorbell didn't work. This is absolutely absolutely no way to live. Edited December 14, 2020 by aidan o driscoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbles Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) "... missed a delivery because the doorbell didn't work. This is absolutely absolutely no way to live." Anybody daft enough to put their doorbell in the hands of Google deserves everything they get. And maybe they could have got off their @rse and actually looked in on the baby. Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean it's always the best option. The ancient technology of somebody physically knocking on my door works without the necessity of electricity.

An aquantance told me recently when a major power ourtage happened in an area that due to using NEST type sevices people could not turn on there lights indoors and a whole lot of other things because systems like that literally are wired to control all this now in some abodes. The ultimate in lazy .. creates a whole attitude of couldnt be arsed.

Keni Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 One would think that after all the books, stories, etc. of issues with machine control limitations, the creatirs of these commercial products would take such in consideration. A simple over-ride on power outtages? Shame on you corporate semi-humans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I provide an override, you might use it all the time, and then I wouldn't get the surveillance data on you so that I can sell more advertising!

New censorship DID just get put into YouTube (12/9), and I've seen GMails get censored if you put words into the subject that they don't approve of, so I'm just figuring that could be why they were down. I'm spending increasingly more of my time in duckduckgo and rumble now (and several others that aren't censoring). The FCC just began looking into breaking up Facebook a couple of days ago with Google (or Alphabet) on the horizon... Who knows any more what's going to happen? That said, my Gmail, google and youtube are all back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 My kid's school had a 2 hour late start due to the google thing. She said it was like a modern snow-day. (Since Covid, Snow-Days have been meaningless.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
