Cable vs streaming tech? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

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

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.

The Greasy Strangler had a very minor theatrical release and is a fantastically weird movie I love to recommend.

Would be helpful to compare fleet sizes, how many accidents per total flights. Total accidents doesn't mean much without a comparison of either those stats.
