Are you serious? Lol that would be quite a feat.

This article is stupid.
This means that I can take ANY 200k bits data (not necessarily a movie) - convert it into one of my stupidly-boring movies - sloot-encode it and store it in 64 kbits.
No, you fucking idiot, it doesn't mean that. Who says it's lossless? It can be (theoretically) like x265 encoding. Just because I can store a 50 GB bluray movie in 5 GB without perceptible loss in quality doesn't mean I can store any arbitrary 50GB in 5 GB.

1.44MB is pretty darn small for a media file over an hour with audio and decent resolution.
HOWEVER, if you dont care about resolution or hq audio, you might make it pretty small, 1.4MB is doubtful though
I once won a $100 dollar bet in the Navy, my buddy had gotten one of the first I-PAQ's and they were total shit (better than Zune tho)
He wanted to watch his philadelphia experiment dvd on deployment, but didnt want to take the dvd with him and all he had was an Ipaq.
The challenge was to rip the dvd and re-encode it to under 200MB with no other restrictions.
The end result was a basic audio, with a moderate-to-crap video resolution, 1hour 40minutes long, at roughly 78MB
This was roughly 2006, so not all the same tools were available but it was doable. I agree 1.4MB is probably too small and the guy was likely talking out of his ass, as they say. Now my video came out tiny framesize, but the zoom actually worked out ok on the tiny screen. It was definitely watchable. The loser of the bet was happy as pie to give up the 100 bucks, since he didnt believe it could be done and wanted to take the video with him.

And today we have the luxury of 512 GB MicroSD cards (except some vendors excluding it from their phones and adding shitty restrictions to their operating systems under the guise of "sEcuRiTY rEasOnS", which could also justify disabling Internet alltogether).

Products vs Technology.
Dont buy the products, acquire their technologies.
They can turn off my phone and my gsm chip, but they cant keep my dongle from talking to their tower IF I control how it identifies (and I do)
Look around and figure out ways to interact with device WITHOUT the 'required' device. Client/Server/Service paradigms are simple transactional things and can be gamed, In fact, most are so overly complicated that it becomes a simple matter for the initiated.
That Security camera? That has an IP, a router and a wire that goes somewhere. Did they properly NAT? Did they forget to harden? Only one way to find out.
That 5G Subscriber Access Point, you can talk to it. That cell phone tower, you can talk to it.
You just have to know how.
The machines will listen to anyone who appears authentic and authenticated.
I can take a prepaid GSM sim, ordered with crypto, delivered from japan, account funded with crypto and that sim card plus a SIM808 module will get me not only onto the Voice network, but also access to GPS, SMS and Internet. All in a tiny 2"x2" square, controlled by a $15 nano or similar. $3 more, adds my SD card slot, $20 more, adds a TFT screen.
We dont need them. I dont need apps, If I want it to do something it doesnt, I'll code it in.
Now, dont get me wrong, you wont be playing games on these, and entertainment and being in with the cool kids is right out this window.
This is a different kind of life...... that they will never understand. (but our enemies do)
If a man stops thinking of himself, as the subject of a nation, and begins to think of himself, as a nation, what changes? Everything.
There is something to be said for 'bare metal' development.
Thank you for participating in my 2am coffee ramblings.
