I completely agree. I feel stupid everything I try use AWS. I have a pile of credits in my account that I am not using because I cannot bear to try (and fail... Again). It's maddening and they clearly do not care.

Finally! Every. Single. Time. I have been forced to use VLOOKUPs or INDEX/MATCH I wonder why nobody on the Excel team had still not built a new easier interface. I wish I could only use Pandas but excel is the lingua franca of business

I feel we are being fed a line here. I think it's unlikely that access to such important military computing infrastructure woud have been blown to stop Iran hijacking foreign flagged oil tankers. Either the story is a cover for the re

Early versions of android did have a network permission. It was not able to be revoked but at least you knew apps that had no reason to require network access, like early flashlight apps, were not exfiltrating data. The permission may still
