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.

Mail appears to sort of be working, but YouTube isn't for me.

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.
