Amazon trying to cover their ass?

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

      Whats the alternative? (For real, i have a ec2 instance there, and I guess I could use azure or google cloud but they are shitty companies too)

        If you’re a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud’s free vps tier is the most generous I’ve seen of any provider. I suspect it’s because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.

          Its a lot more expensive with local companies. (8x as much) Because I use a couple hours a week, with high processing power, and most (all that I could find) of them you pay for the entire month at a time.

            Personally seen the opposite in terms of pricing. But don’t forget the added value of support; local small businesses usually offer, they often go above and beyond to help you.
