Re:Cellular outage in U.S. hits AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon users on Thursday February 22, 2024 @10:30AM (#39468548)
AT&T seems down in Eastern TN too. All phones in SOS mode.

Seems pretty widespread. Anyone know what caused it?

I like this simple implementation.

Some users are saying years but could it really be that long?

Yeah, the timing is suspicious. Wonder if someone just fat-fingered a command.

If you read in the links, users are reporting more than six months. It sounds like entire accounts have been wiped.

I think the "six months" is coming from the original report but looks like it could be longer.

Does anyone have any technical insights as to what happened here? Was it related to Google's new account deletion policy or something totally separate?

Volafile is interesting. First I’ve heard of it

Mediafire, while it works, is a terrible user experience for someone receiving the file, IMHO.
Thanks! :-)
Good suggestion. Thanks!
Thanks! In regards to API quotas, the rate limiting happens on a per-user basis so we manage to stay away from the limits for most users. That being said, I did build the system with a retry mechanism with delays so in case something does hit a limit, it shouldn't be lost.
Thanks so much, midrus! I did build it myself. Super kind to hear.
That's awesome. What a cool idea. :-)
That's 100 submissions a month. Thanks for giving it a shot!
Yeah, I actually do something similar with some of my projects. I'm able to get good results directly querying sheets: https://www.benlcollins.com/spreadsheets/google-sheets-query...

Pivot tables have a bit of a learning curve but you can also use them to dynamically pull data out of sheets: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/1272900?hl=en&co=GENI...

Yikes. Hadn't considered that. Hopefully not.
Thanks!

1. I'm not sure I 100% understand what you're asking here but it seems that what you're looking for is very possible by triggering workflows off of sheets. https://solutions.appsheet.com/workspace or https://zapier.com are a couple of great ways to do this.

2. If you can embed HTML in an Android then you should be able to embed one of the forms. I haven't done it before. Let me know if you try it and how it goes.
