Edit 2: Working again, for this moment.

Edit 3: Broken again. ):

It's been down for me for 2 hours.

Okay, so I'm not hallucinating it.

This just in - it's up for me at this instant.

Can confirm, down for hours.

just curious as a non-user, is alexa being down for hours a big disruption to users?

I have to get up and touch the wall to control my lights, which sucks. Seriously, though with small kids being able to do certain things without hands is pretty handy.

Down for me in TX.

Hey TX from ATX.

obligatory "everything is fine":

https://status.aws.amazon.com/

Haha. That's hilarious because a little redditfu shows there's an outage.

Edit: That's for AWS, not Alexa. I wish they had a dashboard for Amazon proper's major service components. I'm not sure how real or phony such a dashboard would be for internal/external political/business reasons.

Alexa isn't AWS though.
