Steam can be replaced. Doesn't mean it will be anytime soon. And probably not by Epic.

Various things probably need the air for cooling.

Noon doesn't actually happen at noon

It’s close enough to solar noon in most places under standard time.

NASCAR Cup series has been using EFI since 2012. The other series still use carburetors.

Years later, Netflix is still having issues. Maybe it's not as easy as you claim.

You’re right. They’ll never be able to use their existing large revenue stream to fix it.

> 1. Now you just have a blank screen. Sure some people might like that but others will think there's an issue with the stream.

NASCAR has a separate feed for international broadcasts without their ads. During the ad break they'll just show an overhead camera or maybe an in car camera.

Yeah I'm familiar with that. I guess it all depends on the sport and country. Ads during the sport is quite unusual in the UK for example so we get that NASCAR feed where the camera continues with no commentary during US ad breaks. We also have a cool setup for Indycar where a local UK commentator jumps in to talk over the feed while the US goes to a break. For MLB (on their own league pass product) we get a blank screen or non-ad montage thing in between innings (although as I mentioned in another comment that's its own kind of hell).

I feel like it's fine for social chat but for technical chat I feel similar to the article.
