---|---|---|
*** silbo has quit IRC | 00:19 | |
SpeedEvil | Why do you think you want R&D mode? | 00:20 |
geaaru | to see boot menu at startup and choice boot from sd or boot from flash | 00:21 |
geaaru | why with r&d led must be turn on all time ? i don't understand this. :) | 00:22 |

SpeedEvil | Somewhat random. _ages_ ago, I got a BT VOIP box-thing. I still have it. Do BT still do a BOIP solution - SIP - I can't seem to find it on their website, I may be using the wrong keywords. | 00:31 |
thopiekar | wanna buy a N900 on ebay which isn't working (thats what the seller says). he said that he can'T turn it on.. it is just vibrating.. he hasn't said anything about what he can see on the display.. is that fixable via flashing? | 00:31 |
SpeedEvil | It's not impossible it might be. | 00:32 |

thopiekar | Macer: what? streamripper? a internet radio recorder.. | 00:45 |
thopiekar | check sourceforge | 00:45 |
Macer | the ebay page you showed with the n900 lying on a suitcase heh | 00:45 |

Macer | wish i could figure out how to get these su8w special keys to work | 00:46 |
Macer | like the email and menu key. that would be cool | 00:46 |
Macer | maybe later i will capture the codes and see if i can map them to something | 00:46 |
thopiekar | huh? I did get what you mean.. which keys? is something wrong with that device? | 00:47 |
Macer | no... i finally got it working correctly | 00:47 |
Macer | it can even type with the qwerty closed now :) but it has symbian special keys | 00:47 |
Macer | like the email key and the menu key | 00:47 |
Macer | also a left middle and right key... keys that you would normally use on an n95 | 00:48 |
Macer | i would love to figure out a way to map the menu key to the actual maemo5 menu | 00:48 |

Macer | i'm actually using it right now for irc .. it's great | 00:50 |
Macer | can't wait to just use abiword on my n900 instead of lugging around a laptop | 00:50 |
Macer | i wish there was a full blown openoffice for it... that would be awesome too.. or cups support | 00:50 |
thopiekar | if you know how the key is called you could use xbindkeys to do the trick.. | 00:50 |

thopiekar | no money issues | 00:53 |

Macer | i have the obd2 bt transmitter | 00:55 |

DocScrutinizer51 | PA claimed to be the inevitable improvement on ALSA, doing everything better. In fact they attributed problems to ALSA that were never existing, caused by pebkac, or simple to fix. Then their friggin implementation had exactly the problems they attributed to ALSA, just worse. Plus they shoved that shit down everybody's throat and en passant broke working ALSA systems by not providing a properly workng compatibility layer | 01:27 |

DocScrutinizer | ked | 02:47 |
DocScrutinizer | what do you think I feel about PA and Lennart | 02:48 |
merlin1991 | love him like your son? | 02:48 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah | 02:48 |
DocScrutinizer | exactly | 02:48 |
merlin1991 | btw I didn't get oss apps to run properly on a crappy soundcard on pretty basic ubuntu | 02:49 |
merlin1991 | unless I used preload hacks to load alsa symbols into them :P | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer | no wonder, buntkuh is using PA | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer | did I mention PA doesn't care about working bugfree compatibility layers? | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer | you should feel happy the buntkuh PA crap was gracious enough to let your app work with ALSA-OSS compatibility layer | 02:51 |
merlin1991 | wasn't alsa-oss | 02:52 |
merlin1991 | actual ld_preload to replace oss calls with alsa calls in the app binarly | 02:52 |
merlin1991 | *binary* | 02:52 |
DocScrutinizer | duh? no ld_preload aoss ? | 02:52 |
merlin1991 | for some reason even that didn't work :P | 02:53 |
DocScrutinizer | aoss works usually flawlessly, on ALSA machines | 02:53 |
DocScrutinizer | well, replacing oss by alsa janus stubs via ld_preload is exactly what aoss is doing | 02:54 |
merlin1991 | the aoss stuff shipped with ubuntu didn't work | 02:54 |

*** zpol has joined #maemo | 02:56 | |
DocScrutinizer | libaoss.so does exactly that - provide open(), close(), read(), write() and intercept access to /dev/dsp and convert it to genuine ALSA calls | 02:57 |
*** lopz has quit IRC | 02:58 | |
DocScrutinizer | the same shit shipped with PA for converting ALSA calls to PA doesn't work at all, and Lennart doesn't care (actually he can not fix it, as ALSA is way more versatile than PA, so some more exotic calls to ALSA can't get maped to PA API) | 02:59 |
DocScrutinizer | so now users bitch and whine at all devels of formerly perfectly working (with ALSA) audio apps, to get PA support into those apps as the ALSA interface ceased to work with contemporary PA based distros | 03:01 |
merlin1991 | is debian pa based? | 03:02 |
DocScrutinizer | nfc | 03:02 |
DocScrutinizer | judging by maemo, I'd say yes | 03:02 |
DocScrutinizer | not even Nokia is mad enough to opt in deliberately for PA, esp on an embedded device | 03:03 |
SpeedEvil | I question that. | 03:06 |
SpeedEvil | The software in sseveral aspects doens't seem to have been designed taking an embedded perspective. | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | I'm already asking "who said that?" | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: that's quite obvious. The question is why we got it on maemo nevertheless | 03:07 |
* DocScrutinizer wonders what it is that Lennart got to convince everybody to adopt his BS. Sexy? mountains of money to bribe? Brutal? Just unbearable for longer than 5 min? yeah that's it :-P | 03:09 | |
DocScrutinizer | I watched a livestream of CCC last xmas, with ~180s of Lennart. I'm sure it's been tha last point that allowed him to push PA into every distro he found | 03:11 |

megomaniak | yeah but meego is POS | 04:07 |
megomaniak | no? | 04:07 |
megomaniak | nobody interested in it | 04:07 |
SpeedEvil | There has been no(?) meego device. | 04:07 |
SpeedEvil | Nokia has committed to releasing one meego device. | 04:07 |

DocScrutinizer | so maybe give SHR a try eventually, they just finish call voice audio | 04:11 |
SpeedEvil | SHR would be good. | 04:12 |
DocScrutinizer | hehe, I bitched enough there | 04:12 |
* ShadowJK wonders where they're at with Nokia's "MeeGo-related device", is LF going to let them call it MeeGo? | 04:12 | |
SpeedEvil | Who knows. | 04:13 |
DocScrutinizer | heard rumours of giveaway develdevs on next event | 04:13 |
ShadowJK | What does SHR consist of? | 04:14 |
DocScrutinizer | might be about time, esp since they got no proper schematics review from a professional skeptic scrutinizer | 04:15 |
DocScrutinizer | err | 04:15 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: how to answer that? | 04:16 |
pupnik | This is the Central Scrutinizer... It is my job to enforce the laws that haven't been passed yet. | 04:17 |
DocScrutinizer | the white zone is for loading and unloading only | 04:17 |
* ShadowJK also heard that rumour that devel devices can't interoperate with Ovi^WNokia Store and other services, and if you do anything remotely interesting straying outside the straighjacket/sandbox your device gets permanently "downgraded" to devel device | 04:18 | |
ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer, X, no X, gtk/something else, etx | 04:19 |

ShadowJK | E? :-) | 04:20 |
DocScrutinizer | enlightenment, edjie, e* whatever | 04:21 |
ShadowJK | yeah it just surprised me | 04:21 |
ShadowJK | tbh I haven't seen enlightenment since 1999 and my P133 32M ram. It was kinda sluggish | 04:22 |

ruskie | bottom right | 11:37 |

Coke | ok | 11:39 |
Coke | yes. | 11:39 |

Coke | ah, havent tried opera | 11:41 |
Coke | whaddya know. it even has support for SVG smil | 11:41 |
ruskie | the webkit stuff ought to work as well for the most part... | 11:41 |
Coke | So add opera to that list | 11:42 |
*** drj_cro has left #maemo | 11:42 | |

Coke | ruskie: yeah, i thought that about gecko too, but obviously it doesnt in whatever microb is | 11:43 |
*** mhlavink_afk has quit IRC | 11:43 | |
ruskie | microb is gecko | 11:43 |
Coke | can't be | 11:43 |
ruskie | it is | 11:43 |
Coke | so why isn't it rendering properly? | 11:44 |
ruskie | 20100401-1.9.2-5.2+0m5 <-- the version itself is a hint here: 1.9.2 xulrunner version | 11:44 |
ruskie | maybe something is badly configured on your device? maybe some extension for it? | 11:44 |
Coke | you mean browser extensinos? | 11:45 |
ruskie | yup | 11:45 |
ruskie | using wifi or 3g? | 11:45 |
Coke | wifi | 11:45 |
Coke | and 3g | 11:45 |
Coke | right now its in wifi mode | 11:45 |
*** mhlavink_afk has joined #maemo | 11:45 | |
ruskie | well with 3g I would assume some cellco proxy somewhere in between mangling crap for no good reason | 11:46 |
Coke | I have Flashblock installed | 11:46 |
ruskie | that could be an issue | 11:46 |
ruskie | or adblock | 11:46 |
Coke | uh, but theres no flash on my page | 11:46 |
*** zap has quit IRC | 11:46 | |
Coke | not using adblock | 11:46 |
Coke | besides flashblock i have disabled single sign on and geo location | 11:46 |
ruskie | same here | 11:46 |
ruskie | but I don't run flashblock | 11:47 |
ruskie | simply don't have flash at all | 11:47 |
Coke | ok, uninstalling flashblock | 11:47 |
*** jpe has quit IRC | 11:47 | |
ruskie | extensions can have adverse effects on rendering | 11:47 |
ruskie | since they hook into there | 11:47 |
Coke | Wow. | 11:47 |
Coke | You were absolutely right. | 11:48 |
*** larin has quit IRC | 11:48 | |
Coke | Why the heck would Flashblock even be activated on a page completely void of flash? | 11:48 |
ruskie | it needs to be active to detect if there is anything flashy on the page | 11:48 |
*** OkropNick has joined #maemo | 11:48 | |
Coke | ruskie: but after detecting nothing, why bother telling the browser how and what to render? | 11:48 |
Coke | anyway, thanks a lot ruskie | 11:49 |
ruskie | that could be a bug or by design | 11:49 |
Coke | i dont think I would have ever thought that flashblock would mess up GIFs | 11:49 |
ruskie | or it could do stuff with gifs just because it can | 11:49 |
Coke | but why cut the top 1/3 off? | 11:49 |
Coke | makes no sense | 11:49 |
Coke | Im pretty sure this is indeed a bug in flashblock. | 11:49 |
*** croppa has quit IRC | 11:50 | |
ruskie | personally prefered method to get rid of flash is to just remove it | 11:50 |
Coke | ruskie: mm. I'll consider that. | 11:50 |
ruskie | I haven't found any sites that I need flash for frankly | 11:50 |
Coke | ruskie: I'm an avid youtuber | 11:50 |
ruskie | youtube-dl for watching youtube stuff | 11:50 |
Coke | altho I dont use my phone for anything except a terminal | 11:50 |
Coke | I found that the mail client is suboptimal and the phone is just to laggy and slow for me to feel productive with it. | 11:51 |
Coke | The worst part is: I can't get rid of it. It's the ONLY phone that can do X forwarding which is why I use it for work | 11:51 |
*** chx has quit IRC | 11:51 | |
ruskie | I just download a pile of youtube stuff using youtube-dl and then watch it when I have time without bothring about a connection etc... | 11:51 |
Coke | Once this phone breaks I'll be sent back to 1995, no cellphone | 11:51 |
ruskie | for me every mail client outside of alpine is suboptimal | 11:51 |
Coke | ruskie: Im a mutt fan | 11:52 |
ruskie | but ssh helps there to connect to my server | 11:52 |
ruskie | as for phone... I'm planing on getting a second n900... but when those breaks... I want a simple s40 device for calls | 11:52 |
*** chx has joined #maemo | 11:52 | |
*** polymar has joined #maemo | 11:53 | |
Coke | s40? | 11:53 |
ruskie | s40... yeah nokia s40 | 11:53 |
Coke | Ah, that one. Yes, there's no phone on the market right now that can actually replace a N900 | 11:53 |
ruskie | I doubt there will ever be one | 11:53 |
Coke | why is the industry and consumers so phukking retarded? | 11:53 |
Coke | I don't really care that the animations and menus are slow on my N900, at the end of the day it's a very small laptop on which I can do everything from writing budget reports to accessing our production system | 11:54 |
*** FireFly has joined #maemo | 11:55 | |
Coke | ruskie: how can S40 replace N900? It's a shitty symbian. | 11:55 |
Coke | Symbian and Winmo are by far the worst creations I have ever had the misfortune of ever having in my target platform list. | 11:55 |
Sicelo_ | s40 is not symbian | 11:56 |
ruskie | Coke, the thing is I don't need a fancy smartphone | 11:56 |
ruskie | for phone I'm happy with a 10 year+ nokia 5110 funcitonality | 11:56 |
Coke | I see. | 11:57 |
Coke | S60 is the symbian based one | 11:57 |
ruskie | yup | 11:57 |
Coke | ruskie: i dont need a smartphone either, but pretty soon thats all youll be able to get | 11:57 |
Sicelo_ | and series 80 & 90, long extinct :P:P | 11:57 |
Coke | ive got one of them really old ericsons at home | 11:57 |
Coke | it nwo has an uptime of some 700 days | 11:57 |
Coke | THAT is the type of quality I expect from software. If it means reducing the number of features, than so be it | 11:58 |
ruskie | I have a bunch of old phones | 11:58 |
ruskie | 5110, 3210, 5140i, n95 | 11:59 |
Coke | Tbh, I only use my phone as a small laptop. The only time and place its used as a phone is in the office | 11:59 |
chx | Series 80???? | 11:59 |
Coke | I wonder if Intel will ever release morestown | 11:59 |
chx | wow | 11:59 |
ruskie | Coke, I hardly use my n900 other than when I'm not @home or @work | 12:00 |
Coke | ruskie: I use it as a remote control to my media station at home | 12:00 |
ruskie | ahh | 12:00 |

*** hannesw has quit IRC | 12:25 | |

ruskie | glad you come from a place where that is true | 12:25 |
Macer | chx: i always figured early education did that | 12:25 |
chx | it's called 'university' because it gives you universal knowledge, a certain... attitude i could say? | 12:25 |

chem|st | and your gif is showing fine on microb | 12:30 |
*** hannesw has quit IRC | 12:30 | |

Coke | chem|st: it was buggy | 12:30 |
Macer | maemo ftw | 12:30 |
Coke | chem|st: anyway, SVG's work just fine in FF on windows | 12:30 |
Coke | chem|st: if it doesnt for you, I recommend you upgrade to 3.6 or newer | 12:31 |
chem|st | ff on maemo shows too | 12:31 |
Macer | i don't care how old and outdated it gets.. it works with my bt keyboard :) | 12:31 |
*** hannesw has joined #maemo | 12:31 | |
chem|st | Coke: 4.x | 12:31 |
Macer | there's ff for maemo? | 12:31 |
chem|st | Macer: yes | 12:31 |
Coke | chem|st: "shows too" == ? | 12:31 |
Coke | shows the SVG with SMIL animations? | 12:31 |
Macer | it isn't that mobile one that meego is using is it? | 12:31 |
chem|st | gif in ff on maemo | 12:31 |
Macer | i can't remember what it is called | 12:31 |
chem|st | not cut or anything | 12:31 |
Macer | it was horrible | 12:31 |
Coke | chem|st: that is probably because it's SVG animation is disabled, just like on microb | 12:32 |

Macer | why can't someone make a chromium for maemo :) ? | 12:32 |
chem|st | and the damn sync plugin isnt working since the last upgrade | 12:32 |
Coke | chem|st: perhaps you forgot to build it with smil support | 12:32 |
Macer | tear is webkit right? | 12:32 |
Coke | Macer: why not just have a proper FF build?? | 12:32 |
Macer | meh. webkit is only half of it | 12:32 |
Macer | Coke: because ff is total bloatware | 12:32 |
*** mesx has quit IRC | 12:33 | |
Macer | it is the non ms alternative to ie | 12:33 |
chem|st | Coke: as I build anything for windows O_o | 12:33 |
Coke | chem|st: well, FF 3.6 and newer do work fine with animations on windows | 12:33 |
Coke | chem|st: so you must have DL'ed a crippled version or maybe not hit refresh? :) | 12:33 |
Coke | I'm looking at a 3.5, it works too | 12:34 |
*** mesx has joined #maemo | 12:34 | |
chem|st | as I said it converts "your" svg to png (didn't check others) | 12:34 |
Coke | chem|st: it shouldn't convert anything | 12:34 |
chem|st | Coke: I gave it the direct link to the svg | 12:35 |
Coke | http://lohmanders.se/test/images/decor/comp_animation.sv.svg | 12:35 |
chem|st | exactly | 12:35 |
Coke | chem|st: I don't know what to say. I've tried every FF I have for Windows 7, all work fine with SVG's | 12:35 |
Coke | you must have some extension, plugin or setting that disables interactive SVG | 12:35 |
chem|st | I am on xp maybe thats the difference | 12:35 |
Coke | Macer: http://lohmanders.se/test/images/decor/comp_animation.sv.svg | 12:35 |
Coke | chem|st: worked fine on XP too last time I checked. | 12:36 |

Coke | Macer: http://lohmanders.se/test/images/decor/comp_animation.sv.svg | 12:36 |
Coke | Macer: does chromium load and animate this SVG properly? | 12:36 |
chem|st | on 3.6.17 I get that file info data:image/png;base64... | 12:37 |

*** eijk_ has joined #maemo | 12:37 | |
Coke | chem|st: you have some messed up setting. | 12:37 |

*** billmania has joined #maemo | 14:58 | |
Macer | i could do it from easydeb but that would be lame :) | 14:59 |
*** alehorst has joined #maemo | 15:00 | |
BCMM | Macer: there's an app in extras that prints | 15:00 |
Macer | really? which one? | 15:00 |
BCMM | Macer: it works by ssh'ing to a machine with a CUPS server though | 15:01 |
Macer | oh | 15:01 |
BCMM | did you want to use a USB printer with HEN? | 15:01 |
Macer | i guess that would be kind of cool too | 15:01 |
Macer | no ... networked printer | 15:01 |
Macer | but the printer is independent | 15:01 |
Macer | i doubt it has a way to ssh to it :) | 15:01 |
Macer | although i suppose i can set up cups on something in order to do it | 15:01 |
BCMM | yeah, you'd need to run a cups server somewhere | 15:02 |
BCMM | assuming there is a cups driver for it | 15:02 |
Macer | there is for the printer. i'm using kde to print to it | 15:02 |
Macer | it's an older brother hl | 15:02 |
Macer | awesome printer for how much i paid for it when it was new :) only b/w but that's all i really need | 15:02 |
DocScrutinizer | I seen cups for fremantle | 15:02 |
Macer | DocScrutinizer: well in 2025 when meego for n900 is done maybe i'll try it :) | 15:03 |
Macer | although i do believe i'll look into the ssh printing option. not sure how it works tho.. a ps converter then send it to an ssh tunnel to the cups server? | 15:04 |
Macer | that would actually be kind of cool to print while on the road and come home and grab what i printed :) | 15:04 |
Macer | and a little safer than opening an unprotected cups port on the router | 15:05 |
DocScrutinizer | Macer: haha .oO(???) | 15:05 |
Macer | huh? | 15:05 |
Macer | i'm a firm oo user :) abiword is great tho for a portable word processor | 15:05 |
Macer | i used it last night to make a whole report using my su8w that i finally got working flawlessly | 15:06 |
Macer | it's like a laptop in the pocket.. it's wonderful. if it could print on its own then it would be perfect | 15:06 |
Macer | i actually don't care that maemo won't ever get updated anymore.. maybe there are still a few devs out there that will support it since it is rather n900 specific | 15:07 |
Macer | i don't really see the kernel needing anything more .. the hardware works :) | 15:07 |
DocScrutinizer | there IS CUPS for maemo!!! | 15:07 |
Macer | oh yeah? | 15:07 |
DocScrutinizer | so WTF shouldn't it be able to print like a laptop? | 15:07 |
Venemo | sure, I have a cup too, although I couldn't say for certain that it is "for maemo". | 15:08 |
Macer | DocScrutinizer: well.. for one.. i don't think there are any good apps that have a printing option or have been built against cups | 15:08 |
Macer | at least abiword doesn't which is probably the only word processor worth using | 15:08 |
Macer | nor gnumeric which seems to be the only good spreadsheet app worth using | 15:08 |
Macer | if the ssh printing/cups option works by choosing a file to print that will work :) | 15:09 |
Macer | but right now i have to finish proofing the report i did last night so i don't have time to tinker.. i'm happy enough that my su8w is working. i haven't used my G2 in 2 days haha | 15:10 |

pupnik | it got a lot easier to configure a couple years ago, following a complaint by... alan cox i think | 15:28 |
DocScrutinizer | the point is: if your app can not print, then you need to export your document to some semi-popular format like pdf, ps2, txt, whatever, and feed this to cups directly | 15:29 |
Macer | DocScrutinizer: hehe | 15:29 |

Wow did android suck when it first came out.. but look at how far it has coome.. you can use the dev argument about dalvik this and that... no xorg.. blahblah.. but it works and that's what is important. and has apps and features people actually want | 16:13 |
pupnik | google momentum | 16:13 |
pupnik | if nokia had pushed maemo big, they would have had nokia momentum | 16:14 |

pupnik | they were early | 16:14 |
chem|st | Macer: nokia is aware of further loss of at least 15% marketshare for smartphones due to transitional gaps, they still remain leading supplier of mobile devices | 16:14 |
Macer | chem|st: heh. that gap is going to grow | 16:14 |
chem|st | Macer: yeah it is a realy dumb idea to dodge maemo and "wait" for wp7 | 16:15 |
Macer | only thing keeping nokia alive are its cheap phones that they sell to india indians | 16:15 |
Macer | chem|st: it sure was. if they put their full weight behind maemo and dropped symbian when they had a chance then maemo would be doing amazing things | 16:16 |
Macer | not to mention their half assed "community support" which was just for marketing | 16:16 |
chem|st | actualy I'd like to see wp7 for enterprise solutions and maemo/meego for all other smartphones and keep symbian for the lowcost devices | 16:16 |
Macer | chem|st: symbian has to go to the low cost devices.. nobody wants it anymore | 16:16 |

chem|st | Macer: it is not a matter of want it is a matter of price | 16:17 |

DocScrutinizer | Jaffa: if Nokia fails to send me a N9 evaluation PV sample, after I've proven on N900to find all the bugs in hw, then they're more ignorant than I ever thought | 19:08 |
Jaffa | lardman: Looks to be RM-680, a Harmattan device. | 19:08 |
lardman | Jaffa: ah, finally it breaks cover | 19:08 |
Jaffa | Whether that's the "N9" or the "N9 Dev Device" or... | 19:08 |

Jaffa | MohammadAG: Oh? | 19:09 |
MohammadAG | Yeah, I thought they went back to NXXX | 19:09 |
MohammadAG | like N950 | 19:09 |
Jaffa | MohammadAG: There's been no public talk about a name. There was the "N950" to set expectations over what you'd get, and there was the Settings translations debacle which contained | 19:09 |
Jaffa | ..."About my N9" - but that could change at any point. | 19:10 |
MohammadAG | anyway, I guess we should refer to it as the RM-680 | 19:10 |
Jaffa | MohammadAG: Or "Harmattan device" | 19:10 |
MohammadAG | it's a shame it won't have an RGB LED, that's a big regression imo | 19:10 |
lcuk | the n900 has 384001 RGB leds :P | 19:11 |
SpeedEvil | No it doesn't. | 19:11 |
SpeedEvil | It has one. | 19:11 |

lcuk | will it come with seabass attachment though? | 19:12 |
lardman | SpeedEvil: true :) | 19:12 |
MohammadAG | I want the one that shoots portals! | 19:12 |
DocScrutinizer | those aren't RGB | 19:12 |
lcuk | MohammadAG, interesting | 19:13 |
DocScrutinizer | they're evidently BY aka white | 19:13 |
DocScrutinizer | N8 seems to have OLED screen? | 19:14 |
*** Spydemon has quit IRC | 19:14 | |
DocScrutinizer | so maybe RX680 as well? | 19:14 |
MohammadAG | RM-680 | 19:14 |
DocScrutinizer | then indeed it has quite a number of RGB LEDs | 19:14 |
MohammadAG | that's what MeeGo's sources say | 19:14 |
MohammadAG | well, mce's sources | 19:14 |
* lardman browses Google looking for Harmattan goodies and finds lots of pages from '09 | 19:15 | |
DocScrutinizer | say what? | 19:15 |
DocScrutinizer | OLED or RM-680? | 19:15 |
MohammadAG | err, what? | 19:15 |
MohammadAG | I think you're confused, I was talking about the notification light :p | 19:16 |
DocScrutinizer | mhm | 19:16 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, idiocy | 19:16 |
MohammadAG | I have it red for SMS, green for IM, blue for emails, fading in and out red/blue for missed calls | 19:16 |
MohammadAG | one light can't indicate all those | 19:16 |
MohammadAG | so that's a regression for me | 19:16 |
SpeedEvil | Morse. | 19:16 |
DocScrutinizer | as a RGB LED isn't really more expensive than a silly white one | 19:16 |
MohammadAG | cba to learn that :p | 19:16 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, I'm guessing they went with an N8 look | 19:17 |
SpeedEvil | It's a bit more expensive. I'd guess 15 cents, not 5 | 19:17 |
MohammadAG | I hope they add in hardware buttons for s(end) | 19:17 |
*** kimitake is now known as kimitake_idle | 19:17 | |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: no way | 19:17 |
MohammadAG | 15 cents won't break Nokia anyway | 19:17 |
DocScrutinizer | marginally more expensive, but in the range of 5ct rather than 15 | 19:18 |
lardman | lol, I thought you were talking about the finish of the device | 19:18 |
MohammadAG | the screen's probably a 4" AMOLED, ala E7 | 19:18 |
SpeedEvil | The cheapest LED I see in 1000s is $.37 at digikey | 19:19 |
*** larsivi has joined #maemo | 19:19 | |
MohammadAG | chances are Nokia learned from the N900, so a 32GB eMMC will hold rootfs | 19:19 |
lardman | so do we reckon dual core then? | 19:19 |
MohammadAG | which in turn probably means flashing = removing user data | 19:19 |
*** dominikb has quit IRC | 19:19 | |

*** arno0ob has quit IRC | 19:37 | |
SpeedEvil | Trim helps modestly to avoid fragmentation on flash. | 19:37 |
*** pupnik has quit IRC | 19:37 | |
SpeedEvil | It means that the flash controller explicitly knows what parts of the disk are not wanted, and can be zeroed. | 19:37 |

SpeedEvil | This means that there is more 'free space' for wear leveling to happen in. | 19:38 |
SpeedEvil | In a normal SD card, the 'free space' is only the space specifically allocated to wear leveling. | 19:38 |
SpeedEvil | In a trim-supporting card, it's potentially that, plus any empty space. | 19:39 |
ShadowJK | And allocation takes place in erase block sizes anyway.. | 19:39 |
ShadowJK | And there's a limited (1-4, according to linaro's research) amount of pages it can keep "open" simultaneously | 19:40 |
SpeedEvil | Potentially. | 19:40 |
alterego | Ooo, the on screen keyboard looks nice. | 19:40 |
* SpeedEvil wishes that the micro was exposed, and programmable again. | 19:40 | |
pupnik_ | elop looks like something out of a cthulhu book | 19:40 |
ShadowJK | So that means if you have two apps writing 4k sequentially, it is translated into repeated 256k (or 512k, whatever erase block size is) read-modify | 19:40 |

lardman | rm_you: for smartphones? | 20:17 |
rm_you | yes | 20:17 |
lardman | hmm, clock is quite low for current day | 20:18 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, you have to keep up with competitors in the end | 20:18 |
MohammadAG | people like eye candy, the N900 can't do a lot of stuff people want in that field | 20:18 |
MohammadAG | and MeeGo seems to add a lot of it | 20:18 |
DocScrutinizer | who's competitor to meego-arm? | 20:18 |
MohammadAG | to Nokia | 20:18 |
lardman | for me the poor calendar and maps are the major issue, plus slow (if complete) browser | 20:20 |
lardman | oh, and slow connection | 20:20 |
lardman | but other than those it's fine, not too bothered about bling, but I think it should be available to wow people | 20:20 |
GeneralAntilles | I want more RAM. | 20:20 |
nid0 | my girlfriend still gets all starry-eyed by gasballs on the n900 | 20:20 |
lardman | screen size does it no favours too | 20:21 |
pupnik_ | gasballs ? | 20:22 |
nid0 | pupnik_: http://store.ovi.com/content/51436 - A visual demo thing nokia released quite a while ago | 20:23 |

lardman | :) | 20:23 |
lardman | nor did I, other than manually through HAM, and I try not to use HAM as I'm sure you'll all agree | 20:23 |
lardman | Nice work on the CSU though, I've not used the camera for ages and did so today and found some random distance numbers on the screen | 20:25 |
lardman | not sure what they do, but they looked nice | 20:25 |

DocScrutinizer | useless autofocus thing | 20:26 |

DocScrutinizer | but no random numbers telling you... what? | 20:27 |
rm_you | last version of that i had was the version i built for n800 with the onboard UPC database :P | 20:27 |

*** ebzzry has quit IRC | 20:48 | |
*** dominikb has quit IRC | 20:49 | |

lardman | never sent it back to me of course | 22:41 |
yigal | lol | 22:42 |
