Things like restrictions on tethering and using a SIM in a router are forbidden.

Unlike most countries, net neutrality has never been a political football in the UK.

Ofcom groups zero rating schemes into three types:

Type one - government and NGO services (always allowed).

Type two - where categories of service (e.g. video or music streaming apps) are zero rated, but any service fitting into the category can apply to be zero rated by the network.

Type three - any other kind of zero rating.

Things like the VOXI Unlimited Social Media packages fit into Type Two, so are expressly permitted.

For the rest, Ofcom assessed the impact on consumers, which is generally low.

The wake word detection isn't great, and the audio quality is abysmal (for voice responses, not music).

Amazon has ruined their Alexa and Echo devices with ads and annoying nag messages.

I'd really like an open alternative, but the basics are lacking right now.

e.g. checking your calendar/diary, looking through receipts or bank statements to work out where you likely were.

There's also a requirement that a request for information is sent within 14 days for minor incidents like speeding or red light violations, so it's not like you have to work out who was driving on a Tuesday morning three years ago.

No, that's not the case.

I'd link you to one of the articles if I wasn't blocked too, and my VPN wasn't also blocked!

I would have hoped it'd be ready for wider use by now.

There were previously supply issues with these drugs throughout Europe, but those were mostly resolved by the end of 2024.

By mid-2025, it was (and still is) possible to easily get all of the medicines for any of the approved uses, including weight loss and diabetes.

At least on the platforms in the UK, the only thing that priority is advertised as doing is making your driver exclusively deliver your food.

If you don't choose priority, you'll probably end up waiting for the driver to pick up/deliver other people's food along the way.

It doesn't make the restaurant prepare the food faster. It also doesn't allocate you a driver more quickly.

It just means that the driver goes straight to pick your food up, then straight to you to deliver it.

I've checked my Toyota Yaris, and it's there!

I think that's true in many western countries.

It also doesn't constantly try and ram any paid offerings down your throat.

I was originally put off by how much Tailscale is evangelised here, but after trying it, I can see why it's so popular.

I have my Ubuntu server acting as a Tailscale exit node.

I can route any of my devices through it when I'm away from home (e.g. phone, tablet, laptop).

It works like a VPN in that regard.

Last year, I was on a plane and happened to sit next to an employee of Tailscale.

I told him that I thought his product was cool (and had used it throughout the flight to route my in-flight Wi-fi traffic back to the UK) but that I had no need to pay for it!

Most of the dates stated are just plain wrong.

The UK dates are completely wrong - by 5 years in most cases.

All of the UK's 2G networks are still running, and the last won't be switched off until at least 2030.
