I experienced a lot of the benefits mentioned in the comments on this one but rather than an e-bike I just got a cheap used 50cc gas scooter Its so much easier/faster for doing quick errands around the neighborhood Taking the car now f

Its interesting to me that a lot of products the R&D comes from some big company But for at home 3D printers it seemed like it was the hobbyists who did most of the R&D, then the companies came in later

Ya but say I'm a small business and only have 6 servers for my website Why do I need to take all 6 offline to do maintenance?

by superconduct123 2y ago
And why _exactly_ is that? Why does the service need to be taken offline?

by superconduct123 2y ago
I'm not talking about general availability, just wondering why would a whole website need to be shut down to do maintenance? What is this specific kind of maintenance that cannot be done live?

Or we could be allowed to use the hardware we purchased how we want? How is that not an improvement to you?

I guess what I mean is why do other websites have scheduled downtime when AWS shows its not necessary? Is it just less work to take it offline?
