The latter part of that trueism was brought home late Thursday when some Google users were suddenly signed out of their accounts and devices.</p><p> The problem affected Google Wifi mesh routers (http://www.techhive.com/article/3147403/network-router/google-wifi-review-mesh-networking-made-easy.html), Google’s OnHub router (http://www.techhive.com/article/2977545/home-networking/google-onhub-wi-fi-router-review-enthusiasts-will-hate-it.html), other devices like the Chromecast, and even some plain old Google Accounts.</p><p> <strong>The impact on you at home:</strong> If this problem affected you last night and you were suddenly signed out of all your accounts, don’t worry.
