AWS is down.

This is absolutely the weirdest comment. Like were you making it a competition between countries yet again? So odd.

Nope no competition, thats what YOU wanted to read from my words. California is 8 hours behind Ireland, so just stating facts. My friends in California were only starting their day as 7.30pm in Ireland was 11.30am in LA.

hmm, wondering are you one of my circle of "friends" from morans as you like to take offence when there is non implied

We all know what your comment meant You weren't just stating facts, you are wrong anyhow as the first reported outage was just after 3am eastern. If you wanted to describe what your friends in the U.S. were experiencing you would have just stated that like you easily did in the above comment. Instead you opened your comment with a "Annnd America wakes up, lol... Its 7.30pm here in Ireland and the AWS started about 9.00am Irish time, so its been ongoing for the last 10 hours." which was like the weirdest but most obvious jab.

As far as offense, nuance here should be employed. If someone responds to your comment, like me ,saying it was the weirdest/oddest, etc comment that doesn't me someone, or like me, is offended at your comment. It straight to the points just means it had zero reason to be said unless you're trying to make it something with the U.S. vs your country which is what you do.

Yeah I'm going to still stick with it's an odd way, and even odder now with your explanation, way of saying your time zone is at X time. For that matter outages don't affect people all at the same time, someone having an issue early on may not later one just when someone else is starting to experience issues. Often is the case.

Did anyone get any Amazon packages today? Just got an email that everything that was supposed to arrive today will be tomorrow.

Our Whipper Snipper arrived today.
But other items that were supposed to come today are now arriving on Oct. 24th.

What did they say to you about that? Meaning did they give you a workaround? Maybe a risk of being fully digital is old school ways don't even become back ups.

Nope, just try again later. It is working tonight.

It seems like things are getting back to normal. I had to log back on to work to finish something up, and it was functional.

Yes, we do. She was just gently teasing Americans who didn't notice the outage until we woke up hours after people in other countries were aware of it. Nothing to get offended by!

I remember one time when I was visiting friends on the East Coast for a few weeks, but I was also still working part time. I could sleep in and start working in the late morning and send emails to my colleagues back in California razzing them about why weren't they at work yet, the day is half over! It was a nice reversal for someone who was never at work by 8:00 a.m. herself.

You weren't just stating facts, you are wrong anyhow as the first reported outage was just after 3am eastern.

Which was 8:00 a.m. in Ireland, so it's entirely plausible that it took about an hour for people there to start noticing it. It's not like the problem was going to immediately become obvious at 8:01.

I was responding to the "facts" part of their comment as they were so concerned about the the exact timing

She was just gently teasing

Nah nothing gentle about it, never is, always anti-American undertones always has been for years on this board

Regardless thankfully the issue of down services seems to be mostly resolved, they think, well what they are saying, was an issue with the domain and IP address issue. Crazy just how widespread it got with how much, even McDonald's app was affected

The outage slowed the computers down at my doctor appointment, yesterday, too. And I had to *gasp* use actual light switches yesterday with Alexa being down.

And I had to *gasp* use actual light switches yesterday with Alexa being down.

Back when smart speakers come to market, I didn't know if I wanted Google or Amazon so I bought a few of each. Never really embraced their usage for anything other than turning on and off lights so I never consolidated to one brand.

It came in handy yesterday when I just had to switch to OK, Google turn off the dining room lights instead of Alexa turn off the dining room lights. Though I did have to yell so the speaker not in the room I was located in could hear me and perform the action.

Otherwise I would have had to use actual light switches like a caveman!
