   Cloudflare is DOWN this morning.   
      
   Can you imagine ? The "thing" that protects the Internet...   
      
       is DOWN   
      
   Even DownDetector is DOWN, because it depends on CloudFlare   
   which is DOWN. Imagine how many times I will be able   
   to use the upper-case "DOWN" this morning in a posting.   
   X is apparently affected by this too, the former Twitter is DOWN.

   Chrome OS is produced by Google.   
      
   MacOS is produced by Apple.   
      
   Chrome OS would be "about as much fun as a smartphone,   
   with the fun taken out of it".   
      
   You could install Chrome OS on your AIO, but it   
   takes over the disk, and you would be trapped in   
   there. So don't do that. The installer is not   
   multiboot friendly.
