Amazon Alexa is having major problems. Samsung Smartthings is having major problems. Google Home is having major problems. Regular internet surfing seems to be working fine for all sites. My work laptop has been getting disconnected and reconnected from VPN for the past hour or two. Is anyone else seeing internet oddities tonight?

Yep , I was watching YouTube through fire stick this am. It has never happened before but the whole thing went crazy , buzzing and squealing. It then shut itself down and rebooted , it took around 10mins to start working again
That sounds like something out of the twilight zone.
What's fire stick?
It's like a roku, but made by Amazon
I thought I had a lot with a couple Echos and a few Google home minis
Ikea and Philips sell hubs connected to your router you can control from your phone.
Just installed brave on my Iphone .win kept flashing and shutting off safari without warning yet no issues on run of the mill sites used ikea.com to check. Brave wouldnt download until I rebooted my phone and still had to try the download a few times. Zero issues now browsing here. They are really starting to piss me off.
We have some smart lights connected to Samsung Smartthings and we use alexa/google to turn them on/off - it works great 99.9% of the time. But this afternoon Alexa won't even tell me what time it is, and the Smartthings app won't load properly.
I had looked at IFTTT and it seemed interesting.
My current goal is to get off of Google and Amazon and just use a raspberry pi and a few wall mounted tablets.
