Were you searching for 'specialist' content again?

I was searching for AirPods max reviews on YouTube, so yeah.......I guess that comes under "idiotic specialist content"

All back online for me now.

EDIT: Youtube is being very wonky. What am I supposed to do at work all afternoon? They can keep Gmail offline until Friday night ideally.

Seems to be bouncing around a bit. I got told my gmail account did not exist, then I logged in fine, then I couldn't see any YT videos, then it was fine. Not what we expect from Google.

Any my MS Teams meeting was a disaster as it slows to unusable whenever I open and share Powerpoint

rare for now... wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing starts to happen more often though! There was a big AWS outage recently, mainly affected US servers I think, loads of people moaning on the smart home forums that their Alexa automations, smart hoovers etc were borked 🤣

MS appear to be having some problems as well. 2 of my 4 Teams meetings this morning have been videoless.
