Double post but Three do a SIM that's free 200mb/month perfect for something like a vehicle tracker: https://www.three.co.uk/Free_SIM_MBB/Order

Re: Pity you can't buy non expiring data in sensible sizes

Three actually do a free 200mb/month mobile broadband SIM. Might be good for you! https://www.three.co.uk/Free_SIM_MBB/Order

Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft speech-to-text AI systems can't understand black people as well as whites

Racist, really?

Not sure how a computer can be “racist” exactly. Maybe there were more white voices sampled than black voices, so it’s inherently more accurate with white voices. That sampling may just reflect the demographic of the population. It could be that someone writing the software specifically wrote or such that it wasn’t able to recognise black voices as well, but I think that is pretty unlikely.

Unfortunately with the current ridiculously over-PC atmosphere, if someone has the slightest opportunity call something or someone racist, they’ll take it.
