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.

        This thread has a transfer size of around 1 MB, which is a little bit more than a Das Kapital epub. A similar lobste.rs thread would be of around 30 KB. None of them have ads.

          Can any software even read epubs any more? I know Edge got rid of their epub support. A dead standard lol.

        Didn't Chrome already destroy adblockers or try to in their latest release?

          Crippled them. No one should be using Chrome anyway, use Firefox.

      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.

        why should the march of 'progress' favor larger and larger files? 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.

    ...Huawei will release a 6G white paper soon to explain to the industry what 6G is.

    Yeah okay.

    In addition, the 6G network will also overcome the current 5G weakness of problematic connection under high-speed movement. The supported speed exceeds 1,000 kilometers per hour. Not only is the high-speed rail stress-free, but traveling by air would be more convenient with 6G.

    Good.

    In the first three quarters of 2020, the company's market share topped the global 5G communications equipment market and reached 32.8 percent of world's total

    Crackers cope. How will the CIA spy on their puppets now!?
