      They were down for like entire day once because they moved that server to a new location by train. In a backpack.

          A company at which I once worked built a functioning server into the frame of a motorcycle. It was after I left, so I’m not sure of the details, including whether it had to be plugged in; but regardless, they called it “the world’s fastest server!” and I think that’s pretty funny.

          If that was their only downtime that year, that would have resulted in 99.7% uptime.

      We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.

      If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, “Navigate to <place>”. It flat out does not work.

      Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

      I’m sorry I can’t do that.

      (It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

      If I’m in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the “Navigate to…” Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)… It tries to open the app.

      This shit used to work, it’s getting actively dumber.

      This morning I got fed up and asked,

      “Can I use you to navigate somewhere?”

      Sure! Where would you like to go?

      “Dutch Bros”
