Huawei's rotating chairman Xu Zhijun announced on Monday that the Chinese tech giant will launch its 6G networks in 2030, which is 50 times faster than 5G.
You might not need today, but what about in 15 years when this finally becomes available for the average customer? By then websites will get much heavier, and so will movies (higher res) and video games.
fucking make some of that progress compression, efficiency, & optimization.
That's being done too. A video file encoded in HVEC/h265 will be the same quality as a video file encoded in h264, but at half the size. Audio files encoded in opus will have the same quality as an equivalent MP3 file, but also at half the size. It's being done, but no one hears about it because it boring and technical to most people.
I agree, I would love to see that happen as well, but looking at the way things are going right now... I don't find it likely that file sizes are going down anytime soon. Triple A Video games are taking up 200gb of space these days, and websites are getting ever more bloated. I could see images/videos not getting larger, as I think 8k is about the limit to what the human eyes can differentiate from a reasonable viewing distance, but even then, 8k is going to bring absolutely huge files.
dont fukin.need it.stop.

why should the march of 'progress' favor larger and larger files? fucking make some of that progress compression, efficiency, & optimization.
