Eastern USA, Google is up.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Maybe it's a warning shot (for EU, &etc) to stop trying to use Google's success as a source of funds with their endless lawsuits.
They do, actually, have them all by those proverbial short hairs.

It's going to be interesting to find out what happened.
How something as big as Google can simply go down all at once boggles my mind, what with their distributed servers etc.
There again I don't understand infrastructure.
I googled "is Google down" and I got back a page saying "No", I guess getting back a "Yes" is not a possibility?

I doubt it. They'll just continue posting it in QA, and expect someone else to do it for them.

I was so tempted to ask a QA question asking for the "codez pleaze!" with regards to Google being down.

Is it still ok to make jokes about a malformed server (as if that were my problem), or must I now try to stay politically correct?

... until Season 5 of Expanse drops.
Well, the first three episodes, anyway.
And Discovery / Grand Tour this week as well!
That's more watchable TV than there has been all last month ...

And only 318 days until the final book is released. 
(Assuming the date doesn't slip.)

Yes! I've been watching the series over again, and there's so much more that I "get" in watching it again. Great series.

I re-read the books a week ago!

My coworker's BF loved the books - it's on my list - apparently the books are much better (as is often the case) none-the-less, I think the series stands very well on its own, of course, I'm saying that with the ignorance of not having read the books.

Got tickets for The Forgotten Battle[^] that would be shown in Dutch cinema's in december, but now it looks like cinema's will be closed due to Corona measures.

I suspect the cinema as we knew it will never recover fully: The Covid closures may well change habits enough to destroy what will be left once they can "properly reopen".
Who wants to watch a movie in a room full of noisy strangers eating overpriced rubbish food, while you can't have a drink, or go for a pee without missing a good chunk?

Yes! I look forward to it, even if the writers do not always understand the laws of physics, it is still very entertaining!

Added a new internal 2TB SSD! (yeah! )
Copied my Steam, Origin, BattleNet, Epic Game library over.
Swaped drive letter.
And.. Game still all works!
(only tried a few with each shop.. but looks flawless so far! )

On my PC I got my main drive (a 512 SSD) and a 2nd HDD drive with various stuff (including various game libraries, such as BattleNet)
I just installed a brand new 2 TB SSD in my system and I am copying all the game library on it.
When the process is complete, I plan to swap my 2 extra drives letters and.. hopefully, voila, my gaming library will be on my ssd!
Would that work you think?
I mean most files are simply referenced by name or relative name, instead of more arcane file sector address...
What think you?
[EDIT]
And.... it worked!

Depends on the game, I guess.
Some DRM software uses HDD ID as well as processor, etc. so it's in the laptop of gods, really!
Good luck - and enjoy the extra space (while it lasts)
