I read this and thought straight away "is he with O2?" because that the same situation im in. They say "Unlimited" but then they say that their fair useage policy limits you to 200mb a month.

I've contacted O2 to query this before, and its quite difficult to understand. What they are actually saying is, that yes you can browse and download as much as you want through your iPhone 3G but if you start behaving or sinking "Ridiculous" amounts of data then they will warn you via phone or text and limit you to around 200mb a month.

Its a lot of Data for the iPhone to sink a month still, the reason they implemented this was to stop people using it as a Modem via their Laptop/PC.

So basically just download/view what the hell you want, and if you are being ridiculously excessive they will contact you, there are no charges straight away, they give you plenty of warnings then if you still do it, then they will charge you.

Personally ive abused my Iphone 3G network useage and never hit more than 300mb a month yet, Im usually on my Home Wifi Network, or i find my iPhone 3G has switched to WiFi in Starbucks/McDonalds etc so not on 3G that often unless out on the road.

Excellent. So what you're saying is it's not a "go over this and pay more" limit but more of a guidline.

Should do most of my browsing on wifi anyway as there are cloud/openzone hotspots all over my city. Just need to set it up with openzone: anyone know how to do this? There is a guide for the cloud on o2's website but not for BT openzone :(

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
