javispedroso far there are two things I'm surprised02:02
javispedrothat two or three previously commercial webos app vendors have really opensourced their apps02:02
javispedroand that there's a lot of wp7 fans around :S02:02
GeneralAntillesYeah, I don't get that02:03
GeneralAntillesKinda seems like Tegra fans, though.02:03

javispedroI love how a bunch of random people is joining #webos and asking how easy is to install $RANDOM_OS on it.04:17
SpeedEvil:)04:17
SpeedEvilI was about to pop over there for that reason. :)04:17
SpeedEvilI imagine the regulars are somewhat peeved?04:17
javispedromost of them having just spent $400+ for it..04:17
javispedroeither way, believe me, it's hackable.04:21
javispedronot sure you'll ever get full blown Meego into it (qualcomm+adreno :S)04:21
SpeedEvilIf it was local, then I'd be buying it.04:22
SpeedEvilEven as just a browser tablet that couldn't be upgraded.04:22
javispedrothis morning I was hinting the webos guys to see if someone tried the n64 emulator04:22

* SpeedEvil tries hp.co.uk.06:07
javispedrothey only ship US though06:07
opdf2all retail will soon follow most likely06:08
opdf2so only time06:08
SpeedEvil16G 349 pounds, 32 429 pounds.06:08
SpeedEvilUK hp store06:08
SpeedEvilSo $500/$60006:08
flailingmonkeyi'm too dense to find these deal sites, but alright06:09
opdf2just call if you're too lazy06:09
opdf2wait is long though...30 min for me06:09
SpeedEviljavispedro: For something this large, shipping will be unpleasant.06:10
flailingmonkeyhere we go! http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/let-the-liquidation-begin-hps-16gb-touchpad-on-sale-for-99/06:10
flailingmonkey$150 for 32GB HP TouchPad06:11
opdf2palm pre3 might be cancelled06:14
opdf2quote engadget06:14
flailingmonkeybut apparently AT&T was launching pre3, and has now completely cancelled06:14
flailingmonkeyquote webOSroundup: http://www.webosroundup.com/2011/08/pre-3-orders-for-att-in-the-u-s-cancelled/06:14
opdf2ooo liquidate that pre3 stock06:14
flailingmonkeydid they have stock yet?06:15
SpeedEvil299 pounds still on UK store (palm pre3)06:15
flailingmonkeybut there must have been stock created06:15
flailingmonkeyand for at&t bands06:15
flailingmonkey...06:15
opdf2they were already packaging06:17
flailingmonkeydamn it06:19
opdf216gb $99 oos06:19
flailingmonkeythey've got to sell those pre3's some where. they're not damaged, and it would be more expensive to destroy them than sell them even at $5006:21
opdf2most likely will be liquidated at $9906:21
SpeedEvilEspecially given the maker is exiting the marketplace.06:21
SpeedEvilSo it doesn't care about the effect of the firesale on the reputation.06:21
flailingmonkeyyah06:27
opdf2geez what a great price ips/snap dual06:28
flailingmonkeymy girlfriend will be getting a new phone if they liquidate those pre3's. she never even uses apps, the only things that matter for her are e-mail, web browsing and maps06:28
flailingmonkeyand honestly, it does make me think that there is a sort of app market bubble at the moment06:29

Sc0rpiusHP's 16 GB TouchPad on sale for $9906:48
Sc0rpiusI wonder if we can put another OS in that device06:48
Sc0rpiusbecause that's some nice price06:48
Sc0rpiushttp://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/let-the-liquidation-begin-hps-16gb-touchpad-on-sale-for-99/06:49
flailingmonkeyi don't even think there's a reason to but another OS on the device06:50
SpeedEvilI'd love to get it meego'd.06:51
SpeedEvilBut.06:51
flailingmonkeymy gf has been using a pixi for about a year, and has never been interested in apps06:51
Sc0rpiusyeah that would be great06:51
SpeedEvilAt that price, I'd be buying just as a web browser06:51
*** Natunen has joined #maemo06:51
SpeedEvil(in the UK, hp has it listed at $500 still)06:51
Sc0rpiusit's a nice price only for an ocasional browsing/email/IM and PDF/eBook reader06:51
flailingmonkeyenjoyable UX, solid OS and hardware specs make a bigger difference for her06:51
Sc0rpiuseven if you stick with what's left of WebOS there06:52
flailingmonkeyand yeah, she only hits e-mail, web browsing and maps/GPS06:52
javispedroone for each bathroom!06:52
Sc0rpiussupposedly after this Saturday (tomorrow?) the cut price will be worldwide06:52
flailingmonkeyi really really want to get some dirt cheap pre306:52
javispedronote that nowhere says worldwide06:52
javispedrotechnically the US firesale starts tomorrow06:52
SpeedEvilScorcerer: Source?06:52
javispedrobut they're already sold by out06:52
Sc0rpiuswell but 99% chances are next week that price is worldwide06:52
javispedros/sold by out/sold out by now/06:53
infobotjavispedro meant: but they're already sold out by now06:53
Sc0rpiusheh ok06:53
Sc0rpiusnice bot06:53
flailingmonkeyI wonder if dealing with carriers was a major pain for HP...06:53
SpeedEvilDepending on quantities, it may make sense to carry on pricing it high for some countries.06:53
Sc0rpiuss/nice bot/totally a different thing/06:53
infobotSc0rpius meant: totally a different thing06:53
SpeedEvilIt's possible that there may be very limited stocks in some countries.06:53
flailingmonkeybecause they're really taking a dump over every carrier that stocked their stuff with this06:53
Sc0rpius12345606:53

SpeedEvilI think it only does very simple ones 1 1 106:54
SpeedEvils/1/one/06:54
infobotSpeedEvil meant: I think it only does very simple ones one 1 106:54
javispedrothat's why I usually omit the trailing slash.06:54
Sc0rpiusyeah I can see06:55
javispedroI think the human brain is smart enough, no need for the stupid bot.06:55
Sc0rpiusanyway06:55
Sc0rpius$99 it's damn good06:55
Sc0rpiusand maybe that will attract the hack scene to put another OS on it06:55
Sc0rpiusI even want one!06:55
javispedrodon't even think mentioning Android.06:56
Sc0rpiusI already have an Android tablet06:56
Sc0rpiuswhich I really despise06:56
Sc0rpiusI thought it was great, but after a couple of months you learn to hate it06:56

flailingmonkeyalready sold out06:59
flailingmonkeyUS best buy site is also "sold out online" and they aren't even reporting the price drop on the site06:59
SpeedEvilI question the $9907:00
SpeedEvilIt's ridiculously cheap07:00
SpeedEvilSurely they'd have had reasonable volumes at $20007:00

DocScrutinizeranother method to tell when OTA data traffic happens without ifconfig noticing it, was to attach one of those RF-exploiting LED batches to the phone08:59
*** kthomas_vh has joined #maemo09:00
SpeedEviloh - yeah09:01
SpeedEvilThere was an interesting report from OFCOM on those.09:01
DocScrutinizerthere's actually a lot of ways how carrier could cause your GSM modem suck battery without anything you could do about or how you'd even notice it. See e.g.09:01
SpeedEvilUnsurprisingly, they radiate rather a lot of harmonics.09:01
DocScrutinizer~gsm-agps09:01
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, rrlp is the Radio Resource LCS (Location Service) Protocol as specified first in GSM TS 04.31, or http://security.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/RRLP09:01
DocScrutinizerpublicly visible and pingable IP another idiocy that carriers can do which would possibly cause your battery go down after just hours09:05
DocScrutinizerpoorly configured T3212 timer or C1/C2 BTS handover criteria yet another way to make you cry "my battery life sucks"09:06
*** unixSnob has joined #maemo09:06
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: indeed no surprise - actually those badges made my 6210 lose connection09:08
*** e-yes has quit IRC09:09
DocScrutinizerthough there are electronically boosted battery-powered versions that should be way better wrt this09:09
SpeedEvilOr just being in an unfortunate location.09:09
DocScrutinizerI dunno if any of those, whether dirt cheap or battery powered with electronics, is capable of doing GSM/WCDMA multiband09:11
DocScrutinizeri.o.w. I know those critters from back when 3G was no publicly known term09:12

flailingmonkeyDocScrutinizer: so publicly visible IP on mobile device is bad in what use09:21
DocScrutinizerflailingmonkey: publicly visible IP allows me to suck empty your battery in as little as 2..3h and there's nuttin you can do about it, you won't even notice what's going on09:23
DocScrutinizerall I have to do is pingflood your IP09:23
flailingmonkeyjust by ping you mean, as network interface keeps waking up device09:23
flailingmonkeybecause unless ICMP (or any incoming connection) is blocked at network level, device still has to wake up to receive packets, even if it ignores them...?09:24
*** klasu___ has joined #maemo09:24
SpeedEvilyes09:25
DocScrutinizernot by waking up main processor, just by making modem crank up TX to send the ACK09:25
SpeedEvilNot an ack at tcp/ip level, but at the lower level.09:25
DocScrutinizerthere's an ACK on GPRS protocol level afaik09:25
DocScrutinizerand you'll not even notice that as the whole protocol stack runs on modem processor09:27
DocScrutinizerso the whole magic of those powersaver optimizers that tear down GPRS connection whenever it's not needed is not because GPRS login eats much power in itself, but only by stopping inbound unsolicited traffic09:29

DocScrutinizer>>My argument is that Maemo is more functional than MeeGo, and by far more mature. You are the one that started making claims that because it was "more open" it was "better". I've consistently said that regardless of how much more open it is, unless it's 100% open it has the same flaw as Maemo, making the argument of which is "more open" a moot point.<<17:02
DocScrutinizerwhere is it his core point here?17:02

Or this is not, then WTF a second time17:27
javispedrobecause for the people you are asking Meego is _UPSTREAM_17:28
DocScrutinizerand then you wonder why several people (incl me) are frowning at meegoCE?17:28
javispedroyou're adopting a stupid posture.17:29
DocScrutinizerand on the harsh way we get suggested to abandon maemo in favour of a halfdone meegoCE17:29
javispedroIt'll be like me going to the SDL forums and telling them, "hey, I've done all these changes to SDL1.2"17:29
javispedrothey'd tell me "why you didn't do them to SDL1.3??? They could be rather useful there!!!"17:29
javispedroand I would be like "oooh weelll I have many software that uses SDL1.2 and not 1.3, and I "feel" that 1.2 is better, plus 1.3 seems to be still under development..."17:30
javispedroreplace 1.2 with Maemo and 1.3 with Meego and you get exactly the same story.17:30
DocScrutinizerno, suggesting to implement sth to telepathy meego and not to bother about maemo is quite a different thing17:30
javispedroDocScrutinizer: elaborate why.17:30
javispedroand note that I'm obviously in the 1.2 side in the SDL story. But I don't make a fuss about it.17:31

DocScrutinizeras afaik in PK there actually *are* a few bugs fixed that annoy in stock kernel and affect all users18:50
* lupine_85 has downed his N900 to 250MHz, or at least that's what the screen says18:50
mintuxit's not finished yet18:50
DocScrutinizerPali: your brief description of what the patch does already makes me wonder if it could cause cpu hogging or even kernel freezes18:51

DocScrutinizerPali: such a patch definitely needs careful evaluation and peer review and an extended in-deepth investigating test period *on stock kernel* prior to inclusion into CSSU, to make sure it doesn't bring (possibly severe) regressions of any kind to CSSU users that do not use compat-wireless18:54

DocScrutinizerPali: how about packing a developer's evaluation package of that oatch, that quick-n-dirty replaces osso-wlan file on arbitrary systems, so a larger number of venturous testers can give it a try, so in a few weeks we get the thumbs-up of a larger number of qualified testers and then we can include it to CSSU and still sleep calm after that18:59
javispedroGAN900: but when added to the cart it goes back to MSRP :S19:00
DocScrutinizerPali: I'd be willing to test it on my work-phone which has no compat-wireless and no powerkernel, but has CSSU installed19:01
