- T-hawk 12y agoI don't think so. There will always be usage cases involving a couple orders of magnitude less capacity or bandwidth than the leading edge. Lossy compression will always be appropriate for these. Anything involving wireless is a good start. There's a hard physical limit to the amount of data you can cram over 4G or 802.11 spectrum. It's physically impossible to losslessly stream video at 4k 60fps over these, so that's why we use lossy compression (currently MPEG) and always will.
- gillianseed 12y agoEh? Unless storage becomes enormously cheaper I don't see that having a chance of happening. The key to lossy compression is that you can have huge file size savings while not causing visible degradation (visible here being the human eye).
