The second link is the major outage I'm talking about, yes.

The first one is indeed significant, but to call it an outage is a stretch. You're linking to some blogspam that is basically [copying the official statement](https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/galileo-nominal-service-resto...). To link that without linking to the [follow-up explanation](https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/further-information-on-the-ev...) is, well... Not exactly an okay move. In that follow-up, you'll read that only ill-configured receivers (that ignored satellite health) were affected.

Ah that would make sense! I wonder though, is my perception of Galileo as being less reliable accurate? Or are those issues normal for GPS too? My (probably ignorant) understanding was that the structure of the Galileo program made it inherently more brittle, considering how the first major outage went down.
