I wasn't aware of prime games for free for other platforms as well as the hero launcher that works in the deck! You just changed so much for my deck and future gaming experiences, thank you!

These are all really good answers, but yours really nailed it for me. Such a fascinating development and change in infrastructure. Thank you for such a well thought out and informed reply.

Cable vs streaming tech? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by betabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
 

I've never known cable providers of failures to broadcast live TV in its history. MASH (not live) amongst many others had 70-100+ million viewers, many shows had 80%+ of the entire nation viewing something on its network without issue. I've never seen buffering on a Superbowl show.

Why do streaming services suffer compared to cable television when too many people watch at the same time? What's the technical difficulty of a network that has improved over time but can't keep up with numbers from decades ago for live television?

I hate ad based cable television but never had issues with it growing up. Why can't current 'tech' meet the same needs we seemed to have solved long ago?

Just curious about what changed in data transmission that made it more difficult for the majority of people to watch the same thing at the same time.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that's the only logical choice.

Same. The OP article is interesting, but was hoping for more than a few wiki links of past instances. Is there more verifiable evidence for this instance? Don't doubt the claim, just curious.

This also might be the thing the first astronauts warned us about a private space industry. Sure, they can innovate faster and cheaper, but not as safely. There's a 60 minutes interview with musk crying because his astronaut idols didn't see eye to eye with him on privatizing space.

Ah, I didn't go to the HN site, makes sense. Thanks

Any source on this. I don't have an X account and can't even read the comments on the tweet.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

I do try to be careful with recommendations like this, but those that get it are good people.

You get it! Sadly the star Michael St. Michael was recently ill and had a GoFundMe, but that did give us the opportunity to view the movie in a limited support screening to help him out. Was worth it to see it again in theater.
