Appears so. We can expect a productivity spike as many people are missing their meetings at the moment.<p><a href="https://downdetector.com/status/google-calendar/" rel="nofollow">https://downdetector.com/status/google-calendar/</a>
Yes, both Gmail and Calendar are impacted.<p>You can still access your calendar via <a href="https://calendar.google.com/u/0/embed?mode=week" rel="nofollow">https://calendar.google.com/u/0/embed?mode=week</a><p>This brings back the old UI (Google Agenda times).<p>I'm amazed by how little that page downloads. I'm getting less than 1MB here. Gmail downloads 20MB to display my inbox.
After refreshing a few times, I'm now greeted by impossible to solve captchas.<p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/GQhvUen" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/GQhvUen</a><p>Also, this isn't normal captchas where you can get sounds or stuff. These are completely inaccessible for many people.
And of course, like yesterday's AWS outage, their status page is all green: <a href="https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/</a>
Last week Google Play was crashing on my phone over and over again (making the device an expensive paperweight over time since banking apps have mandatory updates)... I reinstalled and that fixed it for a short while and then after it started perma-crashing again I received the mail about mandatory 2FA, did that and since then no problems.<p>We need to move away from these big companies NOW!<p>Get your own HTTP, DNS and SMTP server (in that order), your own domains, host at home with fiber and lead-acid backup!<p>Make your ISPs enable static IP and open DNS + SMTP ports.

Google 500 == new snowday ? :D<p>I can imagine it now, workers eagerly awaiting the radio announcements over breakfast: "The following regions have Google datacenter outages..."
It would be more interesting if the status page also had a test function scoped to the specific user. For something Google Calendar it could OAuth, but for things like public websites/services it could do a HTTP GET (or whatever makes sense).
Obviously there is no problem: <a href="https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/#v=status" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/#v=status</a><p>But I'm getting 500 anyway ;)
Yeah; it is 500. But it works for me with `gcalcli`[1] — a Python command-line tool that uses GCal API.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli</a>
Anyone else got opinion that some sites such as social media, calendar apps should have scheduled one day mandatory outage per year by law :-).<p>Certain customer may opt-out, but by default we should do global unplug once per year.
The calendar sidebar in mailbox does not load, but opening the full calendar seems to work.<p>Interestingly, it asked me to fill a captca test. Could it be an attack?
i've been getting a 'server problem [400]' in my music.youtube app on android for weeks when trying to play my own uploaded albums. reported through every channel i could find. i think nobody at G. is even trying to pretend they care.<p>companies die once their legal dept. ends up in charge of everything. at G this happened around 2010.
