“Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1. We are working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery.”

It’s always DNS.

This is just a reminder to take a backup of your cloud photos and store it locally (or other cloud provider). For example, with Google Takeout you can get a ZIP file with all your photos and videos from Google Photos.

Re:Built to Last – RSS, HTTP (2015) on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @03:14PM (#28461730)
If you are on Mac / iOS, try https://reederapp.com. Can sync with several RSS services or sync with iCloud

When you import a CSV file into Google Sheets (File -> Import), you can choose in the dialog to convert text to numbers and dates. If you choose not to convert, Google Sheets places a single quote (') before the function.
