The company is clearly focusing entirely on their SaaS version, which just makes sense in this day and age. They provide the stand-alone version for people who know about and want to continue using it, but obviously they don't want to

Similarly, AWS Route 53 alias records use a 60 second TTL and there's no way to change that, so that's probably about a quarter of the Internet right there. Also when creating a manual record in Route 53, the default is 300 second

That's what it says, but in practice I've asked some really general and technical questions of AWS support and always received a helpful reply without a paid support plan as well. With a paid plan the response time is better. In g

It's still a fundamentally flawed design, because the system fails open when the locker crashes. So it seems Sway / Wayland actually didn't learn anything in this area, and suffers from exactly the same problem as X11 when it

And in some cities with grid layouts, Google Maps loves to route a zig-zag stair pattern with 15 turns to save you thirty seconds vs the obvious single turn L-shaped route. I often wish the app had a "simplest route" option.
