| kerio | is there a simple way to reset the data counter automatically? | 13:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Sicelo | gconftool i guess. i seem to remember it is stored there | 13:25 |
| Sicelo | /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/ | 13:28 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ~phonetools | 13:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | hmmpf | 13:30 |
| *** vakkov has quit IRC | 13:31 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | even wrong, nothing in there | 13:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | anyway alarmed built-in 'reset GPRS counter' | 13:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | does both reset and automatically | 13:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and simple too | 13:36 |
| Vajb | btw is there a trick to keep screen on while playing chess? | 13:37 |
| Vajb | it is annoying when im playing and screen dims slightly and throws me back to start up screen | 13:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | install simple brightness applet | 13:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | pushing long the square at left switches "keep screen on" on and off | 13:39 |
| Vajb | oh | 13:40 |
| Vajb | that sounds cool | 13:40 |
| Vajb | where will that "square on left" exactly be? | 13:41 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | in system menu | 13:41 |
| Vajb | hmm could it be tweaked to "long press ctrl" for example? | 13:41 |
| *** Kilroo has quit IRC | 13:42 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | only by patching it | 13:42 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | http://maemo.org/packages/view/simple-brightness-applet/ | 13:42 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you however could tweak Modified Hildon Desktop hotkeys to do such stuff | 13:43 |
| Vajb | installing it anyway :) | 13:43 |
| *** vakkov has joined #maemo | 13:44 | |
| Vajb | hmm an idea for someone skilled enough. Could it be possible to adjust screen brightness for example pressing "switch+volumerocker" | 13:45 |
| Vajb | switch meaning that blue arrow between shift and ctrl | 13:45 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or you write a wrapper script around chess, which switches to backlight permanently on on start, then sets a "trap EXIT $bl-permanently-on-disable" then call maemochess | 13:46 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, for someone skilled enough such a modification would be feasible | 13:48 |
| Vajb | i think it would be sane to go till blank | 13:48 |
| Vajb | i have brightness set at min and it is still too bright at dark | 13:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | known problem | 13:49 |
| Vajb | wrapper script is also above my current skill level | 13:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I'm sure there are a few users in here who love to help | 13:50 |
| Vajb | i can program ur digital alarm clock to woke u at 6am if u like :p | 13:50 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | thanks, too early for me ;-D | 13:50 |
| Vajb | haha | 13:50 |
| Vajb | so basically, dog can bark, but what use it has for me :D | 13:51 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | echo 1 >/sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness | 13:51 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | which is the lowest brightness you can possibly get | 13:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | oops sorry | 13:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | prolly bl_power | 13:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | not brightness | 13:53 |
| KotCzarny | vajb: switch to dark theme and dark background | 13:53 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's save to cat actual_brightness bl_power brightness | 13:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | cd /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/ | 13:54 |
| Vajb | well i did try to switch irssi bgd black but it went bollocks | 13:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | cat actual_brightness bl_power brightness | 13:54 |
| Vajb | hmm seems i can't find simple brightness applet although it installed succesfully | 13:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | echo $light >brightness | 13:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | echo $light >bl_power | 13:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | with $power between 0 and 255 prolly | 13:56 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | is safe | 13:56 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | simple brightness is in system menu | 13:56 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, maybe its in the systray click? | 13:56 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you prolly need to reboot to make it show up | 13:56 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or at least restart hildon home | 13:56 |
| Vajb | found it | 13:57 |
| Vajb | it is lurking behind "clock" menu | 13:57 |
| Vajb | seems good enough for me atmä | 13:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | pro tip: when pressing long on the left square, it fanishes with activation. To avoid causing a touch even in application window below, I drag my finger a 1cm down before releasing the touch | 13:59 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | vanishes* | 13:59 |

| Vajb | hey pro's. Totally unrelated question, but i'll shoot anyways. If u were to buy laptop with best performance to price ratio. What would u buy? Gf cave three key features. Has to be lightning fast, cheap and come with ms word. Meh... | 16:21 |
| KotCzarny | um | 16:21 |
| Vajb | hmm is it cave or gave... | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | which kind of fast? | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | facebook fast or 3d fast? | 16:22 |
| Vajb | i suppose facebook + flash games fast | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | then cpu | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | good i5/i7 current gen | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | + fast and big ram | 16:22 |
| Vajb | i saw her playing mostly candy crush saga etc | 16:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ohmy | 16:23 |
| Vajb | yes i read that i5 is good bet | 16:23 |
| KotCzarny | but mind you, CURRENT gen | 16:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | tell her she doesn't know what she wants | 16:23 |
| KotCzarny | there are plenty of gens | 16:23 |
| Vajb | hmm and all are named i5? | 16:24 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 16:24 |
| KotCzarny | it-XXXXY | 16:24 |
| Vajb | great | 16:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | she will only notice when it's too late, that cheap+fast means terrible display and extremely poor battery operation time | 16:24 |
| Vajb | DocScrutinizer05: she dont mind unless it plays fine and page numbers comes by click when writing thesis | 16:24 |
| KotCzarny | vejb, yeah, ips display is a must | 16:25 |
| KotCzarny | it's good for ms word too | 16:25 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you don't need a 'lightning fast' system for that, every cheesy 486 would do | 16:25 |
| Vajb | so, what generation is i5-6200U | 16:26 |
| Vajb | coming at 599e.... not cheap as soap tho | 16:26 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | tbh when I get asked such question by friends or even GF, I refuse to give any answer. They can find out themselves in next PC shop | 16:26 |
| Vajb | yup and in the end it is ur fault anyway :D | 16:27 |
| Vajb | hmm what is ips display? | 16:27 |
| kerio | the kind that doesn't screw up the colors | 16:28 |
| kerio | compared to TN panels | 16:28 |
| KotCzarny | vajb: in short almost perfect viewing | 16:28 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | if I had suggested what they will pick, they will blame *me* - when I refuse to help they *might* blame themselves, odds are they blame me for not helping, then I tell them "I had picked exactly same for you" | 16:28 |
| Vajb | i see | 16:28 |
| kerio | who the hell writes a thesis with word | 16:28 |
| Vajb | the one who can't cope with oo | 16:29 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, now decide if that machine is quiet and cold too | 16:29 |
| kerio | ok let me rephrase it | 16:29 |
| KotCzarny | (ie. no fan noise/no heat) | 16:29 |
| kerio | who the hell writes a thesis with any WYSIWYG editor intended for word processing | 16:29 |
| Vajb | i suppose it sits on our kitchen table as usually | 16:29 |
| kerio | as opposed to using latex | 16:29 |
| Vajb | so battery/noise doesn't really matter | 16:30 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, noise matters, trust me | 16:30 |
| KotCzarny | sooner or later you will be irritated if it comes with crappy fan/power management | 16:30 |
| Vajb | well if it sounds like vacuum cleaner i spent less time at home... | 16:30 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 16:31 |
| KotCzarny | anyway, that cpu seems nice | 16:31 |
| KotCzarny | as for rest of the 'fast' i guess on the windows7 | 16:31 |
| Vajb | atm we have some pretty old acer. Maybe 3625 or something | 16:31 |
| Vajb | propably | 16:32 |
| Vajb | or windows 10 | 16:32 |
| KotCzarny | nah, win10 is spyware | 16:32 |
| KotCzarny | unless you dont mind | 16:32 |
| Vajb | i guess 8.x is pretty much ancient history now | 16:32 |
| Vajb | well it is not _my_ laptop | 16:33 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: not minding privacy rape is like saying you dont need freedom of speech cause you have nothing to say | 16:33 |
| kerio | yeah because some russian script kid spying on you is better | 16:33 |
| buZz | imho, very poisonous attitude | 16:33 |
| KotCzarny | if she becomes your wife, it WILL be YOURS | 16:33 |
| *** jarod1 has joined #maemo | 16:33 | |
| Vajb | hmm she did pop the topic... | 16:33 |
| Vajb | but... | 16:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I never touched win8 and I swore to never touch win10 either | 16:34 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: yeah but you don't use windows 7 either | 16:34 |
| Vajb | but i5-6xxxx should be nice? | 16:34 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 16:34 |
| buZz | none of the msdos versions since NT 6.0 are any good | 16:34 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I admit I do, installed win7 on that dedicated winoze PC I got me a year ago | 16:34 |
| KotCzarny | especially xxxU | 16:34 |
| kerio | i7 6700K or bust | 16:34 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: you should upgrade | 16:35 |
| KotCzarny | which means ultralowvoltage | 16:35 |
| kerio | windows 10 *is* better | 16:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | fuck no! | 16:35 |
| kerio | alright, you're dumb too | 16:35 |
| kerio | Vajb: how cheap are we talking about here, exactly? | 16:35 |
| Vajb | i set up one win10 for a friend, but didn't pay much attention. Basically i disabled every "this sends something to smowhere for ur convenience" | 16:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I won't pay anual fees to M$ for using their crap | 16:35 |
| kerio | because honestly, you could probably consider buying a macbook | 16:36 |
| kerio | they're cute | 16:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I won't spend weeks or months to teach win10 to not phone home, either | 16:36 |
| kerio | and the specs of a 13" macbook pro are not bad at all | 16:36 |
| KotCzarny | vajb: there are plenty of no-visible-config features of win10 that will spy on you | 16:36 |
| buZz | i dont see any OS that comes without C compiler from the box to have any relevance to people that have skill | 16:36 |
| kerio | buZz: what if you can install it with an `xcode-select --install`? | 16:36 |
| KotCzarny | xcode wasn't free for quite some time | 16:37 |
| kerio | i mean, that's about the same as debian | 16:37 |
| kerio | where build-essential is not preinstalled :< | 16:37 |
| buZz | xcode doesnt come with source | 16:37 |
| Vajb | didn't discus exact price, but i suppose <500e | 16:37 |
| kerio | xcode-select --install doesn't install xcode | 16:37 |
| KotCzarny | otoh linux is 0wned by redhat nsa moles | 16:37 |
| KotCzarny | :/ | 16:37 |
| kerio | it installs clang and the rest of the toolkit | 16:37 |
| kerio | depending on how you define OOTB, you're basically saying that no OS is relevant except gentoo and the BSDs | 16:38 |
| kerio | hm, arch too i guess | 16:38 |
| Vajb | ok gimme some hard specs here. What is average ghz atm? Some 2ghz? Ram 8gb? | 16:38 |
| buZz | for maemo systems? | 16:39 |
| buZz | you wish | 16:39 |
| *** g3kk3r has quit IRC | 16:39 | |
| kerio | for a laptop i'd say quad 2ish ghz with at least 8gb of ram | 16:39 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, mhz isnt the good comparison now | 16:39 |
| KotCzarny | and wasnt before neither | 16:39 |
| Vajb | also 32 or 64? | 16:39 |
| *** jarod1 has left #maemo | 16:39 | |
| kerio | ...how's 32 bit even *remotely* passable for any computer bought in the last 5 years | 16:39 |
| Vajb | so bottle neck lays somewhere else | 16:40 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, if you want more than 3GB then 64bit | 16:40 |
| buZz | there are >15 year old cpus doing 64bit | 16:40 |
| KotCzarny | no other way | 16:40 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: no | 16:40 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/03/01/64-bit-arm-aarch64-instructions-boost-performance-by-15-to-30-compared-to-32-bit-arm-aarch32-instructions/ | 16:40 |
| Vajb | kerio: u tell me. My last puter is from 2000 :D | 16:40 |
| kerio | just buy a 13" macbook pro | 16:40 |
| KotCzarny | buzz: aarch64 doesnt have ms word | 16:40 |
| buZz | without ram benefits, 64bit makes arm asm ~30-40% faster | 16:40 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: whats that | 16:40 |
| buZz | oh | 16:40 |
| buZz | didnt office rebrand itself into a wordpress website yet | 16:41 |
| kerio | buZz: it's kinda like a shitty version of pdflatex | 16:41 |
| buZz | office 365+leapdays | 16:41 |
| KotCzarny | there are versions without annual tax still | 16:41 |
| Vajb | oh, also i suppose celeron is no go with any price? | 16:42 |
| buZz | yeah, libreoffice etc | 16:42 |

| Vajb | that being jimms.fi | 16:52 |
| kerio | seems good | 16:52 |
| kerio | in terms of specs at least | 16:53 |
| *** hashcore has joined #maemo | 16:55 | |
| Vajb | hmm with 4gb of ram asking 479e | 16:56 |
| Vajb | nice from lenovo to sell same model with different specs | 16:56 |
| KotCzarny | yes, in case of thinkpads you have to get more than just model number | 16:57 |
| buZz | keep in mind most lenovos nowadays are crap | 16:57 |
| buZz | plastic hinges etc | 16:57 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 16:57 |
| KotCzarny | that too | 16:57 |
| buZz | wont survive >2 years usage | 16:57 |
| KotCzarny | buzz, its for a girl | 16:57 |
| buZz | then wont survive >1 years usage | 16:58 |
| KotCzarny | and will be mostly sitting in a kitchen | 16:58 |

| sunshavi | KotCzarny: https://dpaste.de/inex/raw | 17:04 |
| KotCzarny | uh? | 17:04 |
| sunshavi | KotCzarny: I want to locate the VB images that r being mentioned on that article | 17:05 |
| KotCzarny | um | 17:05 |
| KotCzarny | 1/ install virtualbox, 2/ install debian/ubuntu. done ? | 17:06 |
| sunshavi | yeah VB is installed. Mmm, I have done it on chroot. But It did not worked | 17:06 |
| sunshavi | :C | 17:06 |
| sunshavi | :( | 17:07 |
| *** Kilroo has joined #maemo | 17:07 | |
| sunshavi | I chrooted on a debian wheezy | 17:07 |
| KotCzarny | um, you know what virtualbox is? | 17:07 |
| KotCzarny | it's a bit more than chroot | 17:07 |
| sunshavi | what I want is sb2, cos I could hildonize an app 4 n800. and also do some work 4 n900 | 17:08 |
| sunshavi | old scrachbox is too painful | 17:08 |
| KotCzarny | well, i just have sb800 and sb900 folders and just switch between them | 17:09 |
| sunshavi | in anybody else here doing development for both n800 and n900?. Can You share your setup? | 17:10 |
| KotCzarny | and i prefer sb1 because it's independent of the host os | 17:10 |
| sunshavi | sb2, Would let me use a newer compiler for n800, so better space when generating binaries | 17:11 |
| sunshavi | for n800 it is going to be paramount, n810 has more space. on n800 I am very constrained | 17:11 |
| KotCzarny | well, i have gcc 4.7.2, and for small jobs you can just compile native gcc | 17:11 |
| Vajb | umm so if lenovo is crap what is quality? | 17:12 |
| Vajb | ibm thinkpad? | 17:12 |
| KotCzarny | vajb: there are no ibm thinkpads since t60 | 17:12 |
| sunshavi | I compiled in the past gcc 4.9 but native 3.3 on scratchbox1 give me better binary size | 17:12 |
| buZz | ibm doesnt make laptops | 17:12 |
| *** hashcore has quit IRC | 17:12 | |
| Vajb | ok ok | 17:12 |
| KotCzarny | buzz, ibm doesnt make pcs neither | 17:13 |
| Vajb | i feel like my past grandpa' | 17:13 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: yep | 17:13 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, still, thinkpads t[45]## series are still nice | 17:13 |
| buZz | they dont make shit | 17:13 |
| Vajb | doesn't either*, right? | 17:13 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, i think you use neither when negating something | 17:14 |
| Vajb | i guess impossible to get newä | 17:14 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, not true, check t530 | 17:14 |
| Vajb | yes, but i was pointing out to two times negative | 17:14 |
| KotCzarny | but i guess its out of your price range | 17:14 |
| KotCzarny | oh, right, t[45]60 is current | 17:15 |
| *** hashcore has joined #maemo | 17:15 | |
| KotCzarny | http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/ | 17:15 |
| Vajb | and right now i was told that 500 absolutely top limit. | 17:16 |
| Vajb | so i suppose some features must be tightened | 17:17 |
| KotCzarny | :> | 17:17 |
| Vajb | or tighten | 17:17 |
| KotCzarny | i think ms word alone costs ~100eur | 17:17 |
| KotCzarny | well, m$ office | 17:17 |
| Vajb | i suppose she thought of investing 100e and getting new set of make ups as well | 17:18 |
| KotCzarny | unless you dont care and just going to pirate os and word | 17:18 |
| Vajb | 149e was asking price of ms office 16 | 17:18 |
| KotCzarny | i think you shoul be looking for new gf | 17:18 |
| KotCzarny | *should | 17:18 |
| KotCzarny | the one that uses linux | 17:18 |
| Vajb | i prefer open source and if that doesn't suit her needs she can buy stuff herself :) | 17:19 |
| Vajb | haha | 17:19 |
| Vajb | or doesn't use puter at all | 17:19 |
| KotCzarny | mine got used to oo and t61 | 17:20 |
| Vajb | mine has been struggling with page numbers on oo | 17:21 |
| KotCzarny | isnt page numbers done the last? | 17:21 |
| Vajb | precisely page numbering starting from page 3 | 17:21 |
| *** vahe has quit IRC | 17:21 | |
| Vajb | no idea | 17:22 |
| Vajb | but i heard that for word u get ready base and it just magically works | 17:22 |
| KotCzarny | also, if its for printing, you design cover in different file | 17:22 |
| Vajb | i guess i should take a look, but eh what's there to learn then | 17:22 |
| Vajb | no. It is becuse of stict rules of document formatting. | 17:23 |
| Vajb | because* strict* | 17:23 |
| KotCzarny | hehe | 17:23 |
| Vajb | is amd e1-2500 any good? | 17:26 |
| *** sq-one has quit IRC | 17:26 | |
| KotCzarny | going cheaper? | 17:26 |
| Vajb | yup it is cheaper | 17:27 |
| Vajb | also some 4-core intel pentium n3540 | 17:27 |
| Vajb | is this ancient history already? | 17:28 |
| KotCzarny | i think n series is atom | 17:28 |
| KotCzarny | which also means NO | 17:28 |
| Vajb | so number of cores doesn't correlate | 17:29 |
| KotCzarny | nope | 17:29 |
| KotCzarny | look at single core performamce | 17:29 |
| KotCzarny | unless you will be using multicore capable app | 17:29 |
| Vajb | sadly so far it seems that i5 just is 500+... | 17:29 |
| Vajb | ah right | 17:29 |
| KotCzarny | :> | 17:31 |
| KotCzarny | you can treat i3 as a i5-celeron | 17:32 |
| buZz | i bought a 4th gen i3 used for 30 euros :D | 17:32 |
| KotCzarny | cut down, cheaper, but not that bad | 17:32 |
| buZz | excellent price | 17:32 |
| KotCzarny | btw. e1-2500 is 60% speed of i5-5200U | 17:33 |
| Vajb | just thought of cpu comparison and came up with cpuboss | 17:38 |
| Vajb | and it proves u correct :) | 17:38 |
| KotCzarny | remember it's just heoretical | 17:38 |
| KotCzarny | in practice intels eat amd for breakfast | 17:38 |
| buZz | amd is great, if you dont require any speed | 17:39 |
| KotCzarny | buzz, i use 1100t for my gaming pc | 17:39 |
| KotCzarny | but all i play is borderlands ;) | 17:39 |
| buZz | hehe 6 year old cpu | 17:40 |
| buZz | thats almost retro | 17:40 |
| KotCzarny | but it's nice enough, and i'll probably upgrade when ddr4 prices go down | 17:40 |
| Vajb | seems n3540 is 'bout same as e1 | 17:40 |
| Vajb | even i3 seems better than those two | 17:41 |
| KotCzarny | i3 is i5 without turbo, half cores and aes | 17:42 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: my main workstation used to be a c2d e8400 | 17:42 |
| KotCzarny | so it still depends on your use | 17:42 |
| Vajb | how about i3 quad? | 17:42 |
| KotCzarny | vajb, which gen? | 17:42 |
| Vajb | still single core matters i guess | 17:42 |
| Vajb | 3220 | 17:42 |
| buZz | KotCzarny: funny, about equal benchmarks to your 1 year younger amd :) at ~70% of power usage | 17:43 |
| KotCzarny | buzz, 6 cores | 17:44 |
| Vajb | actually it seems to be pretty close to i5 5200 | 17:44 |
| buZz | yeah including that KotCzarny | 17:44 |
| KotCzarny | also, able to overclock to 3.5-3.8 easily | 17:44 |
| buZz | 2 cores c2d 3ghz are about same speed as 6 cores phenom II at 3.2ghz | 17:44 |
| buZz | single core the c2d beats it completely | 17:44 |
| KotCzarny | those phenoms BE were made to overclock | 17:44 |
| buZz | i only overclock gpus :P | 17:45 |
| KotCzarny | but i got it long time ago cheaply | 17:45 |
| buZz | i bought this c2d 3 years ago for 25 euros | 17:45 |
| KotCzarny | and it was no-brains upgrade to my rig (was using 245e at the time | 17:45 |
| buZz | incl case, psu , motherboard, etc | 17:45 |
| buZz | gotta love companies that upgrade every 3 years and dont know what to do with all the left overs ;) | 17:46 |

| KotCzarny | 640 seems old, 1gen | 18:38 |
| *** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 18:38 | |
| *** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 18:39 | |
| ShadowJK | Vajb, the specs you're not looking at is IPC | 18:39 |
| Vajb | ipc? | 18:39 |
| ShadowJK | instructions per clock | 18:40 |
| KotCzarny | shadowjk, problem is not every instruction has the same time on each of the cpus | 18:40 |
| KotCzarny | not to mention some instructions break the parallel execution too | 18:41 |
| ShadowJK | Well these days it's all about perf/watt really, as CPUs such as the U series are mostly limited by how much power they are permitted to use | 18:41 |
| ShadowJK | The point however is that frequencies have stayed the same for like 10 years, while performance goes up thanks to ipc | 18:42 |
| Vajb | so it seems that it is not sensible to buy i3 since i5 is only 100e more | 18:42 |
| KotCzarny | not true | 18:42 |
| ShadowJK | Which two are you thinking of? | 18:42 |
| Vajb | just browsing finnish shops atm | 18:43 |
| Vajb | all i3 they offer are 499 while most i5 they offer are 599 | 18:43 |
| ShadowJK | In some circumstances i3 is faster than i5 :-) | 18:44 |
| ShadowJK | mostly Y series though | 18:44 |
| KotCzarny | also, keep in mind that you pay 'shop new tax' | 18:44 |
| Vajb | was also looking secondhand products | 18:45 |
| Vajb | 449 for i7 640lm | 18:45 |
| KotCzarny | http://ark.intel.com/products/43563/Intel-Core-i7-640LM-Processor-4M-Cache-2_13-GHz | 18:46 |
| Vajb | also seems most of the are 4gb of ram | 18:46 |
| KotCzarny | 1gen | 18:46 |
| KotCzarny | that cpu is 6 years old | 18:46 |
| Vajb | going to school soon... | 18:46 |
| Vajb | i suppose im overthinking again | 18:47 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 18:47 |
| ShadowJK | How much money do you have to spend? | 18:47 |
| KotCzarny | i3 should be enough | 18:47 |
| Vajb | took me 2 weeks to find digital camera | 18:47 |
| KotCzarny | just dont get the old gens | 18:47 |
| ShadowJK | Priority is: SSD, RAM, CPU | 18:47 |
| Vajb | ShadowJK: 500e is absolute limit | 18:48 |
| Vajb | smaller amount is highly prefered | 18:48 |
| KotCzarny | ehehe | 18:48 |
| KotCzarny | core2duo? | 18:48 |
| Vajb | does 8gb make slower cpu seem snappier than 4gb with faster cpu? | 18:49 |
| KotCzarny | depends on use | 18:49 |
| KotCzarny | win7 works fine on 2/4GB | 18:49 |
| Vajb | basically im asking how important is amount od ram | 18:49 |
| Vajb | most of them seem to come with win 10 now | 18:49 |
| KotCzarny | if you start photoshop then your memory becomes the bottleneck | 18:49 |
| ShadowJK | Things like starting software or changing between two open apps can be snappier with more memory | 18:50 |
| Vajb | for me it seems that simple browser is enough... | 18:50 |
| KotCzarny | cant say anything how much word requires | 18:50 |
| KotCzarny | shadowjk: laptop will be for a girl (ms word/browser) | 18:50 |
| Vajb | coming from ms i would guess it eats ram for breakfast | 18:50 |
| ShadowJK | My work machine is a c2d with 4g ram. Newest word is painful on it. | 18:51 |
| KotCzarny | 4GB should be enough, and you can always upgrade later | 18:51 |
| ShadowJK | Or did it hav 2G? I forget. office 365 is a pig anyways. | 18:51 |
| KotCzarny | remember that ram is one of the few things you can upgrade | 18:52 |
| *** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 18:55 | |
| KotCzarny | cpu is often tied to chipset tho | 18:55 |
| Vajb | yeah | 18:55 |
| Vajb | hp 350 with win 7 is 450e | 18:56 |
| KotCzarny | which model? | 18:56 |
| Vajb | i3-5010u | 18:56 |
| Vajb | 4gb | 18:56 |
| *** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 18:56 | |
| Vajb | with same money is i3-4005u with 8gb | 18:57 |
| Vajb | but win 8.1 | 18:57 |
| KotCzarny | stick to better cpu | 18:58 |
| Vajb | 5gen seems slightly better | 18:58 |
| KotCzarny | also, 5010 is 14nm, 4005 is 22nm | 18:58 |
| KotCzarny | read, lower power, faster etc | 18:58 |
| Vajb | hmm compare page claims that n3540 is better value | 18:59 |
| Vajb | but is atleast 25 percent slower | 19:00 |
| KotCzarny | http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-5010U-vs-Intel-Core-i3-4005U | 19:00 |
| KotCzarny | see the specs in the middle | 19:00 |
| KotCzarny | 5010 has twice the mem bandwidth of 4005 | 19:00 |
| Vajb | yes i was looking that page | 19:02 |
| Vajb | 5005-5010 is more even pair | 19:02 |
| *** L29Ah has left #maemo | 19:04 | |

| Vajb | hmm 90e between i5-5200 and i3-5010 | 19:14 |
| Vajb | lenovo vs hp | 19:14 |
| Vajb | ok i think i have narrowed it down to lenovo g50-80 with i5-5200u and hp 350 with i3-5010u. Latter is cheaper but former is full hd | 19:27 |
| Vajb | will browse local stores next week to squeeze some bargains with my charm | 19:27 |
| Vajb | but thanks all for helping | 19:27 |
| Vajb | i think im at year 2010 with laptop specs now | 19:28 |
| KotCzarny | ssd or rotational? | 19:28 |
| Vajb | instead being in 2000 | 19:28 |
| Vajb | lenovo ssd hp sata | 19:28 |
| KotCzarny | ssd is sata too :P | 19:28 |
| KotCzarny | anyway, ssd is a must for a snappy laptop | 19:29 |
| Vajb | let me rephrase myself then | 19:29 |
| KotCzarny | (but they are getting crappier every year, more unreliable) | 19:29 |
| Vajb | 5400rpm sata ;) | 19:29 |
| KotCzarny | you can say just 5400rpm ;) | 19:29 |
| Vajb | that's hardly ssd or then it is very tricky to get hold of | 19:30 |
| Vajb | :p | 19:30 |
| KotCzarny | but it's also upgradeable | 19:30 |
| * Vajb making joke of laptop being on platform which rotates 5400rpm while user is stationary | 19:30 | |
| KotCzarny | vajb, you know it would make typing tricky? | 19:31 |
| Vajb | yep | 19:31 |
| Vajb | also reading what u just wrote would be hard | 19:31 |
| Vajb | but u would go to 128gb ssd over 500gb 5400rpm anyday? | 19:32 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 19:32 |
| Vajb | i c | 19:32 |
| KotCzarny | unless you are storage creep | 19:32 |
| Vajb | so this is another twist on the plot | 19:32 |
| KotCzarny | but then 500gb is a lot too little | 19:33 |
| KotCzarny | if it has cd slot you can always put another drive there | 19:34 |
| Vajb | i am a bit of file hamster, but then again it is not for me (tho probably i end up using it anyway) | 19:34 |
| *** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 19:34 | |
| KotCzarny | my current t61 has 128gb ssd as the main drive and 500gb in the cd slot | 19:34 |

| KotCzarny | http://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PDT/B1065557451/Hard-Drive-Enclosure.jpg | 19:35 |
| Vajb | ooo just realized it lacks optical drive | 19:36 |
| KotCzarny | who uses them nowadays? | 19:36 |
| KotCzarny | seriously | 19:36 |
| Vajb | me | 19:36 |
| KotCzarny | what for? | 19:36 |
| Vajb | i loan audio book from library. Rip it to mp3. Listen at work and delete after. | 19:37 |
| KotCzarny | grab usb enclosure for that? | 19:37 |
| Vajb | possibility yes | 19:38 |
| Vajb | ah also other difference is win 10 vs win 8.1 | 19:41 |
| KotCzarny | he he | 19:42 |
| KotCzarny | both suck | 19:42 |
| KotCzarny | so doesnt matter | 19:42 |
| Vajb | i dont understand lenovo at all | 19:47 |
| Vajb | i can find g50-80 with millions of specs | 19:47 |
| KotCzarny | and? | 19:47 |
