> If your TV finds an open network (neigbours?) it will use that one

I looked into this last year while researching TVs and couldn’t find anything to substantiate it.

This just hit global news: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/17/amazon-we...

> Amazon Web Services customers receive bills for up to $1.5tn after global glitch

> One UK man whose bill is usually less than £1 says he ‘almost had a heart attack’ when he saw £5.8bn invoice

That sucks, some people will get legit panic attacks and worse over this, especially for the smaller, more believable numbers in the 50k-500k range.

Hope they recover and sue for medical bill costs, emotional damage etc.

And like one reddit user suggests, everyone affected should write to their representative about hard billing caps protections

It says a lot about AWS that people believed these estimates were real. Amazon does not have good safeguards to prevent astronomical bills.

If someone gets access to your account they can just buy a 3-year reserved instance u7in-24tb.224xlarge and it will add almost $2m to your bill.

1.5 trillion? Those are rookie numbers.

How about $5,544,640,717,404.09?

I'm not sure that answers my question. That shows a linear set of branches (my-feature-v3 depends on my-feature-v2 depends on my-feature-v1 depends on main). I'm asking about the case where two or more branches fork from a common ancestor and you want to fix the common ancestor.

A tip from a 2024 Google paper[0]:

> It's important to note that the risk of misuse is significantly lower for individuals who have never had typical speech patterns

How to Hide from Killer Drones:

It's important to note that that the risk of being riddled with drone bullets is significantly lower for individuals who have never had human physical characteristics.

Now I'm imagining a Boeing 777 pilot playing Truck Simulator because he's bored while the plane is landing.
