AWS Amazon Q was surprisingly helpful at saving me money

I was doing some end of year audit and noticed the aws bill higher than i thought i should be. Normally this is a PITA to track down orphaned crap and review all the details, but for the sake of laziness i tried out the AWS i guess its called amazon q and it looked into all my costs and helped me track down some orphaned elastic ips and some other noise and save me about 50% of my monthly bill from just left over experimental clutter. Nothing else, just passing along something that i normally would have groaned at dealing with and instead was pleasantly surprised

JSCAPE mft ?

Java error message on JSCAPE
Trying to access an s3 bucket using JSCAPE. Anyone have insight to what causes this error ? I tried googling but seems generic
message=Unable to execute HTTP request: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target'
Googled
It and it mention something about key stores but was hoping anyone with JSCAPE usage can confirm, client is convinced it’s a AWS s3 perm issue but nothing in access logs and no 4xx point elsewhere

I would sign an executive order, to forbid homophobia inside the Global Virtual Trust! A BIG problem there!

I miss off-brand controllers. Anyone remember those cool albeit, bad quality controllers?

Something I literally barely noticed was how big consoles like PS5 doesn't have off-brand controllers. You have to buy the name brand ala good controllers. I miss seeing those cool looking and weird controllers back in N64 - PS2 era were you had those, albeit, bad controllers.
But they were cheap, colorful, and fulfilled their purpose lol. I wish they made those again. Or like remember those glow in the dark controllers? Or those see through controllers or the whacky colours like orange or bright red.
Just something I thought that made me nostalgic lol.

Does anyone else ever think back to positive moments in their life and ask the "what if" questions?

I do this pretty often.
One example is when I met my still to this day Best Friend in 8th grade English Class.. For context, I am 36 now.
I'll ask things like, "What if we didn't have the same English Class?" Or, "What if we didn't sit together in the same group?"
I'm thankful things turned out like they did, for these positive moments anyway.
Curious as to whether you think back and ask these questions or not? And I am focused on the positive events in life.
