Data Compression as Fast As Possible

Why do we need data compression, and how do computers compress data?

[hkoizumi]

I remember back in the day, I used compression method which I made on TI-83 calculator where I converted text and numerals into basic code which I converted into pixels on picture. When the message was encrypted and compressed, it looked like a random pixels on screen. Little did my teacher knew, I had all the answers on it lol

Each year millions of data bits are lost to lossy compression. It doesn't have to be this way. If you have any information on lost data, please contact crime stoppers.

Is it me, or are the ad segments getting longer and longer..

So data compression looks like a 12 year old's gamer tag?

Next quickie should be about noise/sound dampening since you are already in the process of treating your new office with fancy echo reducing foam stuff?

It's a shame a lot of game developers and publishers seem to have forgot about data compression. Titanfall is like 50GB and 35GB of that is just audio files... I ain't joking. There are other games as well. Compress your damn games

Watching a 4K video on a 1080p monitor. I don't flow with the crowd, I do things my way!

Why are LinusTechTips and Techquicky separate channels?

i've watch an entire pulseway ad with Linus in it thinking it was the video
Nice ad

my next techquickie suggestion:

give a list of some important tech topics that we may not know about but might find interesting.  give a 1 sentence summary to maybe pique our interest? then we vote on which one we want to see the most

I'd like to see one about lossy compression, i.e. how mp3 or aac file compression works to save space, and their differences.

[brockmiller]

way cool brother, many many thanks for the intelligent & entertaining informative explanation, your educating older dudes like me on what all this is about, thanks again, Brock (from downunder australia )

[tlichten]

Appreciate the explanations, as I turn my family on to them when the need arises. Cant wait to see deduplication explained. Seems to be the next logical step.

I try to compress data on my floppy disk, but when I see someone attractive my hard drive shifts from rotatory to solid state, making it even "harder to compress"

[steveowen]

Your videos help me so much. Thank you.

[chityan]

i didn't understand prety much of powers in like 10 hours of math, but i understand it now, Thx Linus :)

[DG-zuiy]
