A Amazon marketplace product I ordered was wrong. I ordered a memory module and got the wrong one. After checkingy order I saw that I ordered the right one. No problem, I thought. Filled a return form, entered "wrong product" as reason, send it back.

The marketplace reseller denied my refund because he claims I swapped the product. I escalated the issue to the Amazon support. They told my that this decision is final and I can nothing do about it. I let my lawyer send them a letter. Only then Amazon gave me my money back.

This if the story how Amazon lost me as a long time customer because of poor and stubborn support over a 23€ product.

I did come here to post the same reaction. I saw the OAuth prompt with "act on your behalf" and intermediately closed the browser tab. When I want to take a look at something new I do not want ti give it what looks like nearly full access on my account.

Do you mean VPS's (virtual private servers)? Because there you need to take care of the maintainance of the OS, system upgrades, initial setup, etc. With a system like Fly.io you just push your app and the OS is abstracted away from you. That is exactly what the article is about.

Yes. You get a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for free. That is what you need in the EU for GDPR purposes.

Customers with HIPAA compliance needs may need an Business Associate Agreement (BAA). That BBA thing is only included in paid plans.

I've had cataracts since birth. It's a relatively dense area in the middle of my field of view. My brain interpolates information there as well as possible. Because of this I never see a stain. It's funny to spot the bugs in this process though. For example, objects may become visible because of eye movement that were previously invisible because they were completely obscured by cataracts.

I do not understand why the most services doesn't do diffs by them self.

My bank for example has an "show diff" button if they change anything. This saves me time and build up trust because I know they try not to hide anything.

The Telegram bot API supports webhooks and long running /event calls. Because Telegram bots often have no web UI events has also the plus point of allowing to block every incoming connection with a firewall. Also so DNS name or static IP needed!

This is a huge helper for me personally.
