Previously, new standards came out about every 7 years, so the next one would have come out in 2021.
But it doesn't look like we are pushing the limits of USB-C yet. We can 80Gbps/240W, with the possibility that it could be pushed further, and I don't think any phone is going to need that for a while.
But remember that EU regulations do apply in Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK.
And of course they also apply in Ireland, and retailers such as Currys/Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone sell in both countries and would likely want to place a single order for all their outlets in both countries.
The correct answer, is, it depends on the sending server, and how long it is down for.
Servers will keep trying to transmit the message for a while, at decreasing frequencies, then send a delivery failure message to the sender.
The default settings for Exchange are 24 hours before it gives up and returns to sender. Most people don't change those.
I don't know what the defaults for other mail servers, eg Gmail are.
Twitter is a very tiny proportion of most companies advertising budget, on average about 0.9%. The vast majority of it goes to Alphabet[Google] and Meta[Facebook].
This really is not at all about the money, or it being too expensive. It is because they think advertising on Twitter will bring negative returns on investment.
Blockchain doesn't solve the double-spend problem. Proof of work or similar solves that. But if it is on a centralised server, then there are other far more efficient ways to solve it.
The big problem here is proving that the blockchain or other database entries actually reflect what is happening on the ground, and that is not a problem that bitcoin or similar needs to address.
"In this specific case, the prime suspect was earning [they most likely mean gross turnover before expenses] up to [i.e. less than] Є150,000 ($155,000) a month, living in a fancy house, driving expensive cars and "embarking on extravagant vacations all over the world," we're told."
For a retail business, gross takings of less than €150,000 really isn't a lot of money.
A cryptocurrency transaction uses in the order of 10,000,000 times as much electricity as a regular banking transaction.
Also, remember that most of what a bank does is not moving money between accounts, and would still need to be done regardless of the underlying currency. For example, if you want a mortgage, the process is the same whether it is denominated in USD or Bitcoin.
YouTube were successful, yes, but pretty much all the other video streaming services from that time are gone now. Netflix I think is the only other one from that time that is still around in a big way.
Video streaming was a new thing at the time. Operating taxis is not a new thing, sure the app is a nice improvement, but that's a slight improvement to an existing product offering rather than something completely new. Electric cars are not new at all, they've been around longer than petrol or diesel cars.
They would have a gcs.gov.uk Mastodon instance in much the same way that they have a gov.uk website and department.gov.uk email accounts.
Only government agencies would be able to sign up to the gcs.gov.uk Mastodon instance, so if you see a toot coming from there, you it is a genuine government communication, and you can assign the level of trust you normally give to the government in that particular matter.
"There's no way that 98% of the resellers on Amazon Marketplace were fake or stolen goods."
Have you ever looked at what is on sale on the Amazon Marketplace?
A recent exaple, I was looking for a spare battery for my camera. The first link to come up was for a compatible battery apparently made by Duracell. I know it is a fake because Duracell don't make that particular type of battery. I ended up buying it direct from Canon's own website.
Our remembrance day is probably more like your 9/11 then. On Sunday, there will be a military parade to the war memorial at the town square, then the Mayor and various other people will lay wreaths at it. I think the actual veterans will meet afterwards for food and drink but that is not something the general population does.
And also any future pension contributions, including your on your employer's scheme are going to be a big problem.
If you are concerned about your current pension provider, then consider moving the money to another provider.
Don't move it if your pension scheme is a government scheme or old company scheme that has guarantees.
There is the slight problem that someone managed to create a "verified" @AppleTVPIus account that looked identical to the real one except for the number of followers, and the fact that the second l was actually a capital i.
Take the highly trusted personal finance expert Martin Lewis for example [1]. There are plenty of scammers out there who pay for fake ads in his name to scam people. They would have no hesitation in paying $8 for a Twitter account.

In the UK, the fact that you were actually needed should have come up in the consultation process.
What should actually happen:
You get notice that your position is at risk of redundancy, and that a consultation process is commencing
You then get informed that following a review, you are not actually going to be made redundant.
It is a *very* large circuit diagram. If you were to put it on a regular circuit board with a feature size of maybe 5mm rather than a silicon wafer with a feature size of 5nm, then you are looking at something in the order of 50km x 50km.
That, I think makes a difference to whether you can copyright it. The difference between copyrighting an individual word and copyrighting an entire book.
Sure, but that is different from not having any in stock.
For example Intel could hypothetically have stock shortages that mostly impact computer manufacturers that ship AMD and Nvidia parts in some of their computers, but plentiful stock for suppliers that are all-Intel. ARM couldn't play that particular game.
