Title: Google Play sign in not working
Post by: alhawke on May 23, 2021, 01:33:19 PM

Is it me or is Google Play down? I don't not access to my account today.

{edit for clarity

I accessed my account by downloading Firefox. Any programmers out there know why apple safari would work for 2 yrs but then suddenly fail? Hopefully this is just a glitch Googleplay is working on.

I use edge and I just checked and that's working okay.

Thanks for looking. My safari browser gives me a blank page. My Firefox browser works fine. So I have to go from browser to browser at the moment.
Coincidentally, or not, my knowledge panel on the google search is gone.   :shrug

For what is is worth: Google HATES my VPN provider... Nothing seems to work easily with any Google tool/feature while the VPN is active. 

Cheers,

I don't use a VPN. But I get paranoid that my account could be hacked or something. I think, most likely, it's problems with Safari as a browser. But I never had problems with accessing my account with it before ???

After three days it's working. Just have to wait next time, I guess.

I still don't know why my knowledge panel on Google vanished; and at the same time. That's still gone. :shrug

I'm thinking seriously about going back to the typewriter.
No crazy passwords to keep up with.
Can easily keep track of stuff in the filing cabinet.
Carbon paper can easily provide copies.
And the typewriter is certainly hack proof.

I still own an Underwood portable. I imagine the ribbon is all dried out, though.

Yep. The funny thing is I'm rather good with technology. But why do I wait for it to load? Doesn't it think faster than we do?

I read a supercomputer can do what would take you billions of years of thought in a second. What's going on here?!!!  :rant :rant :rant
