There's literally a 2012 Onion news skit about this:
"Google Shuts Down Gmail for Two Hours to Show its Immense Power"
Who runs Bartertown?
The Onion predicts the future more accurately than most 'real' news outlets anyway
That was burried deep in my psyche

"Are we too dependant on Google?"
"I don't know.......let me google it"

Didn't even notice. If Google went down forever, my phone would suck. But otherwise it wouldn't be much bother. Would have to change some relevant accounts to one of my Yahoo accounts. Duckduck's picture search sucks, buy I'd get used to it.

You should stop that. Terraria dev is not releasing the game on Stadia because he got locked out of their Google account for no reason
You save all your important stuff in another companys locker that sells all your personal information?
I have a couple of offline drives I use as backups for my important data. I don't keep any important stuff saved on online servers personally. 1TB portable drives are quite affordable these days, would highly recommend.

@@AK-tf3fc what happened
I was in the middle of a meeting with my team during that outage, we were using hangouts at the time, it just cut us off and we were going crazy, luckily we just used our vibers from our phones. That was just during a meeting and everyone was losing their minds, I can't imagine it for people who were using the platform to trade or a transfer of money, it's crazy, google needs a competitor to keep everything from imploding on itself.
@@Rinaldimanc Wow you guys really depend on technology.
"some reporters had to resort to using telephones", Oh no, the horrors.
Not the poor journalists! How will they ever spread their propaganda?
how much does a 4 hour long call costs? multiply that for the number of workers calling.
They could literally go bankrupt just for having to use regular phones every day
Pay $10 and tmobile give u unlimited international calls.
@@fastestdino2 Ah yes, demonizing journalism. An American/Fascist classic.
@@UCjNrKLyRJI-abFA8qiNo92Q lol you think companies pay per minute when they call? They have some plan included with the internet and its usually unlimited. We're not living in the 90s. Going bankrupt for calling 😂 only some small company with absolutely no business skills could but even those have unlimited plans because they cost little to nothing
Honestly, I never heard of Google being down until they were back up.
Lol
Nice 1
Imagine letting Google control your house.
Nope- NEVER! No smart thermostats, no Alexa or gateways-none. There is something to be said about the reliability and strength of electro-mechanical devices where applicable. After this- I'm glad we still have people in control "running" many things!

Turns out someone using Stadia forgot and hit 'shut down', AND ignored the warning that other people were logged in....
😁😂 I play on stadia. But I must have been at work when this happened
All three users that wanted to play at that time were really bummed about it. 🤣😜

Your videos are great!
Classic Jabrils. Love your content man, you really taught me a lot. Thank you.
"The Cloud" is marketing speak for utter dependence on somebody else's systems. We've forgotten that the inspiration for the personal computer pioneers was getting the processing power out of mainframes and onto your desk where you could do whatever you want with it.
There are people who still know that ideology, that's why NAS servers are so popular, your own personal 'cloud' server.
That is why I don't really believe in a future dominated by Cloud services
@@TheBrazilRules That and any type of form of gaming on mobile phones being utter shit. If their was one way for cloud services to become big, it would've been games,
and Google Stadia just stopped that from happening too.
Amen - i have been saying for years that it is a big mistake for companies to put all there data at the hands of any one of the big 3 cloud providers(Azure, AWS and GCP). Hopes this shows companies to start using and expanding there own networks and not rely on the cloud.
Thanks for 2020 Dagogo, looking forward to hearing what you’re up to in 2021. Get well! ❤️

There's a saying which appears to have fallen out of fashion: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
In a Google nest perhaps?
@Rip Tide Putting your eggs in multiple baskets, i.e. using multiple companies for each service, doesn't solve the problem of privacy, it just makes it worst as more people know have your details
Probably because instead of eggs, it's information, and for baskets, before you know it even if you move your eggs to separate baskets down the line, they almost all start off in a basket called 'Microsoft Windows'.
Even the ATM I went to in my town centre made the same click sound as Windows XP...
Decentralization is necessary.
@F a
Do you really think eggs in a solid steel basket is a good thing. There is a reason most eggs come in paper/cardboard boxes.
Thanks for preparing brilliant content! One of the most interesting popular tech channels I’ve discovered so far
I remember when this happened and it was crazy! I saw how it was trending on Twitter and on other social media sites! I didn't know what would happen to my YT channel and everything! This will go down in tech history!
I didn’t realize how off-the-grid I am when I just learned about the Google outage in this video. 🙄
My Google issues are light. Right now I cannot auto update apps. That's annoying, but I can still manually find and update them from the store. That issue started well after this event occured.
I wasn't aware either.
I still don't believe this really happened. Like, how did I not notice?
@@makeupaddiction_au Me neither!
I forgot about it until this video
but yeah it was only an hour so it took a couple second to remember what happened
They’re testing every year to see just how much stuff breaks without them.
How Many Strings They Can Pull...
LOL
👀
I don't think they need to test it. They have the usage data. And all the other data too.
Guess they tested recently then
"Even Stadia!!!". I like your sense of humor. :D
How am I going to play doom eternal
I really enjoy all of your videos I have watched so far. I have watched around 8 videos in the last two days and everyone was very well made and probably very well researched. Really great channel! Keep on the high quality.

I’m one of the people who quickly forgot about that outage, when it hit here in South Africa, my son was playing on PS4, playing offline game so he didn’t immediately notice, I did, but I simply switched to something else that used my company’s intranet, so did not realise how long it had actually lasted. Scary thoughts, Google is too big. Happy holidays and keep safe Dagogo and my fellow friends here.

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
― Isaac Asimov
Hence, we have situations such as:
Scientists: We have developed a vaccine that will prevent you from dying a horrible death.
Idiots: Hell no! My granny heard on Facebook that it will make my nipples fall off and make my future descendents gay! Pass!
In the end times man will increase in knowledge.. but it will also become his downfall..
Look at the generation we live in men and women will become lovers of them selfs and put them selfs before other people thay will also no longer believe in a God..
but want to become like Gods .the money guys who run wall street belived thay where the Gods of the universe..
Google and most technology companies believe thay are the Gods thay want to deny you the truth but if you seek it kick you off you tube ...any way all companys are way to big and people are only human beings who have faults.
wisdom comes with leaning from ones mistakes before it's to late
@@marksargent2440 Not so sure about the 'end times', but selfishness is a basic emotional defence which many people need to overcome and it is something that has stymied our progress since day 1. Popular/modern culture (i.e. a commercially lucrative culture) promotes the adoration of the self to placate our emotional needs with vacuous bullshit instead of teaching respect and understanding in real relationships and enriching lives and minds. The upshot is people who think that the Earth is flat, computers have demons inside them and that "everybody is lying to me!" We have become fattened with stupidity in our false sense of ignorant, disrespectful self-worth and self-adoration.
..IMHO, of course.
Even sadder, today society is losing knowledge and wisdom faster than it is created. Social progress has become an illusion.

I remember this. I thought it was my Wi-Fi. But I later realised it was Google. I got kicked out of a video lesson and couldn’t upload homework on Google Classroom
This must have been when TH-cam was down as well. lol I remember videos just stopped working all of a sudden. But I think for ppl with EST it happened late at night so ppl in this timezeone didn't really experience it
@@thephilosopher7173 yea,it happened at 8 then,so it didnt affect my class, but if it happen in the afternoon,all hell will break loose
Same Buddy I thought I got Kicked out of my Maths Lecture from Google Meet..
@@thephilosopher7173 Oh is THAT why this is a surprise?! I'm EST, and had no idea anything happened. Maybe TH-cam stopped working for a bit, but it's just a procrastination tool, anyway, so I probably gave up after a minute or two and did the work I was supposed to be doing (or if it was late at night, went to bed), and didn't think anything of it. The only other Google service I use is the search engine (and technically the NEST thermostat, since it came with the house, though I don't use Google credentials to log in, and I don't mess with it, often, anyway), so I had no idea anything happened. This video is the first I'm hearing of it.
@@c182SkylaneRG Yea, I didn't think much of it either. I literally just went on to do something else and what seemed like a short time later it was up again. Wasn't until this video did I realize that was it was because of the timing. lol

@@Johnnyybbee Yeah, and that's with so many of us "old timers" that know how to live in a pre-Internet world. What will happen in one more generation if this happens?
@@davidmccarthy6061 I'm not an old timer, I suppose, and I managed just fine. In this said occasion when I realised youtube wasn't working, I did a quick Google search (yep, the search worked), found out it was simply an auth/login problem, turned on the incognito mode, went about my documentary and forgot all about it. It's not the emerging technology I'm afraid of rather the helplessness and profanity some users display.
The way that was said, it's like someone was breaking in and the system failed to sound the alarm of the intruder, lol. Also, was his city's light operated through Google somehow? Or had he connected his lights to Google's home system exclusively? I'm not sure I understood that story very well.
I am literally working in devops and you just explained the term better to me than my employer did in 2 years.

"Had to resort to using telephones to communicate"
What a frightening sentence
Imagine if they'd had to speak to each other directly ... the horror!
@@Nerd3Ddotcom Well, they could get COVID that way! 😅
Try being the one trying to type up all the stories on the other end of the phone....
Voice codecs over standard mobile networks are horrific, and always have been.
It's sad that this was emphasized more than the fact that certain hospitals couldn't operate properly anymore.
Pretty sure the news being outdated for 2 hrs sucks but its defo not as essential as medical care
It is frightening because having to use telephones probably slowed productivity.

@@franciscofuentes8916 Yeah, those "Smart" homes should at least be smart enough to do local things like controlling light without an internet connection and only actually use the internet for things like music/video streaming or ordering stuff...
...but how should they harvest precious data then?
@@wendygo7962 Yes it is. That saying about putting all your eggs in the same basket exists for reason. "video calls sure are useful during a pandemic" is common sense, but if everything in your home/life is dependent on one company that you can't do anything without even though you grew up without it you fucked up. And nobody forced you, you chose this handicap yourself.
Great overview, thank you 😊💖
I also wondered if it was related, glad I’m not the only one drawing lines in my head.

"The world is dependent on Google services"
*Laughs in China*
Well for a significant portion of last century China *wasn't* part of the world, instead it was sitting on its own sulking in the corner. Now that it's decided to come out and play it's still butt hurt because the world doesn't want to play by China's new rules, instead the world is happy with the rules we decided on in China's absence. So I would argue, the world has grown dependent on Google, and China is now throwing rocks from the corner but has yet to join the world.

Proton Mail FTW! Hoping to see it grow. Great company. I love my Google Drive but to me it is just another way to backup things...need another point to store backups reliabily
It was TRAUMTIZING! I have still not recovered. I noticed in less than a second there was a problem. I download 5 videos for every one I watch now to prepare for next one.
That’s the consequence of depending on a single web of centralized internet
"Single web of centralized internet"...? Do you know what you're even saying?
@@user-fq4hj8yv2z I mean depending only on the servers of a single company (Google). If we diversified like the video recommended it would be harder to have a total shutdown.
Single web of centralised Internet???
@@AlphaGeekgirl basically what I mean is that we should depend on more companies’ web servers beside Google
@@thebob563 NEWS FLASH! that will never happen because the world is powered by greed. Proprietary software is evil.
"Human codes still make mistake".
Love this quote.
It's very true, too - All human-created code is flawed, including the programming languages we use are deeply flawed.
I view computers as interesting little machines, but modern culture has blindly jumped on the idea of this perfect computerised future where none can exist - it was clever marketing that everyone has now bought into.
Even the Internet has the ability to be far more resilient than businesses have made it. There are many single points of failure in the implementation of the Internet infrastructure and they are not being removed. The Internet itself also unreliable.
The patterns of behaviour created by our expectations will be hard for some to overcome.
IMHO, problems always seem to creep in when a complex concept is taught to non-engineering types with penny-pinching private corporations tightening the purse strings to milk out every last penny of profit for as long as possible - The outcome is what we have today, a pale imitation of an original, far more intricate and well considered concept and implementation.
One of the earliest mistakes we made was removing the error correction and recovery code from early operating systems created by university computer science engineers, as it was 'too much code for companies to maintain' and 'required too much storage space'. Then we get buggy, crashy messes for computer OS's and we have perpetuated this broken OS model to this very day.
Anyhoo, rant over lol
@@_Stin_ liked the rant / insight. You remind me of a cool friend that I had
When the scenario is advantageous Googoe (CF pronunciation) infers the subscriber is the one to blame. (" The address you entered can't be found." Or " Try entering a correct address ") when clicking on the address link provided by Googoe. My favorite is Mrs. Assistant's all purpose statement "Something Went Wrong" Yah, no shit. "Please try again" (meaning it's your fault) , its always left open to the possibility that you, not Googoe was at fault. Never once have I ever seen any apology or acceptance of responsibility when something goes haywire. Denial of culpability is the first choice for nearly everyone anymore. "I didn't do it", "It wasn't me", "I don't know what you're talking about". The mantra of anyone with the least bit of responsibility in America nowadays.
@@godfreecharlie Not that you do that yourself, right?
@shubham vashisht I suppose not all bugs are spelling mistakes or syntax/semantic errors. Most are logic-oriented (wrong variable/check/etc or no range check/etc) or architecture-oriented (buggy/erratic instructions or hardware.)
The ECC was for erroneous states - If the CPU had to halt, or entered an erroneous state, the OS could recover from it - Imagine a BSOD or KP, but the OS 'sorts itself out' and resumes operation, possibly ABENDing and the task responsible, returning you to a working system instead of having to power-off and cold reboot the thing.
Only issue, I would think, is that the output code MUST constitute a profitable 'product' to be commercially viable within a reasonable time-frame, so if the code ratio held true, OSs would be around 5 times the size and probably wouldn't fit on a DVD any more, it would be too big to maintain and likely wouldn't make as much of a profit, if any lol
Which brings us onto suitable architecture, but that's another powder keg of phishes.
Maybe time for a new architectural paradigm? In the beginning, we originally focussed on individual machine operations (ie MOVe, ADD, SToRe, etc.) which allows for the widest gamut of code to be written as the future usage of computers was largely unknown at the time, but, as with music, as things move forward we create standard conventions so a CPU could be built from larger functional units/conventions. Maybe instructions in the future won't just carry out a single, discrete function, but behave rather more like a Swiss army knife, holistic manner, whereupon the result would accelerate 90% of established computational functionality in a single subset of instructions? Something like RISC but on steroids? Maybe. idk.
PS: I am a HUUUUGE RISC fan boy, esp. ARM. I actually got into a spot of fisty-cuffs over CPU architecture in high school. So lame (but he WAS wrong about Intel lol)
I just remember getting up in the morning and going to my computer to get on a google meet class, When I realized Google was down I thought I wasn't going to have to go to any of my classes. I was sad when my school announced Google was back up.
I just finished reading the latest issue of wired, which had a huge story on the Solarwinds hack from behind the scenes. Immediately after I finished reading it, I came to your channel because I wanted to see what you had to say about it. However, this was the only video that made a reference to Solarwinds. Would love to see you make a video about the Solarwinds hack specifically now that much more information is known.
This was also the first time I ever heard about Google going dark for an hour and wondering if there is an update and if it really was because of Solarwinds? Thanks!
i knew you would cover this, you the greatest
🤣
the onion literally made a joke about this, google should just own this and reveal to the world the godhood they already posess
They don't have to reveal anything,everyone knows that including me and yet we still continue using it.
people at the onion are time travellers fr
Maybe the Onion never did an exact representation, but they've known about this for years. (Is privacy village coming next?)
@@ezshroom nah nah I mean this one th-cam.com/video/ntICHMV-WMA/w-d-xo.html
Small nitpick: Whenever google meet was mentioned, I see footage of zoom
Great video btw
I don't use any smart home devices, so I'm surprised people's smart homes were being effected by the outage. It doesn't make any sense for lightbulbs to be connected to a remote server. I would expect something like: your phone connects to the smart home hub, gives it a command, like to turn a light on or off, and then the hub would tell the light bulb to turn off. Connecting to a server seems like an extra step.
“Google services down”
*Me: Time to use incognito*
yeh i knew , i also open incognito and start y.t there
lol
Lol
Incognito wont restore google services if theyre down...?
@@Corteum When we access a service through incognito tabs, that website is not authenticated with user account.
Problem in authentication system will not affect incognito tab until you signin.
wait you can do that?
Me who didn't even Realize the Shut Down BRUH !!!!
Same but I was sleeping lol
@@doriannamjesnik3007 XD
What happened?
@@freddyvasquez3063 Nothing
First time i hear about this google outage :/ i think the impact in 3rd world countries was close to 0
I do recall this. Maps and TH-cam music were down.
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.
Dgogo: "This is the last video..."
Me: Yo WTF!
Dgogo: "...of the year...!"
Me: Aah, Okay.
A lot of things ended in 2020. Shocked when I heard the first few lines
Am I the only one who read Dgogo as Doggo :P
Lol I don't even remember this happening. I must've had been actually living life.
I didn’t notice either
I was probably online that day too but never noticed. Hmmm... Maybe I just wasn't in their sphere of influence/web of control?
@@jayeisenhardt1337 web of control. Pun intended?
@@jayeisenhardt1337 i use incognito mode so i could use google without any affect ..........lol
I literally said the same thing, and I vaguely remember the day because I had something important to do two days later. Then again, it was only an hour.
Was working in my office when they shut down. I couldn't access Gmail. But I didn't worry much until i checked for youtube. That freaked me out.
Didn't even notice. Then again, I have an aversion to the cloud and thus keep most of my data on my own equipment and run my own services.
Conversely, I don't get anyone else to blame or yell at if my stuff is offline. And the time spent to set everything up is not insignificant.
