| sunshavi | vajb: my backlight has failed two months ago. On the night i can read anything on my n900 | 03:20 |
|---|---|---|
| sunshavi | also probably for improving my reading condition i should change the plastic over the screen | 03:21 |
| sunshavi | even answering a phone in the night is very difficult | 03:21 |
| Maxdamantus | ime the screen is still readable under direct sunlight, where the backlight is pretty much completely ineffective (might as well be off under that condition) | 03:23 |

| brolin_empey | Oksanaa: There is a series of Android smartphones from Russia that have both an AMLCD or AMOLED display and an electronic paper display but I cannot remember the name because my memory has become lossy in the last year or so, presumably because I am getting old. Anyway, I lost interest in this series when I found that the battery is difficult to remove because I will not buy a handheld computer with a difficult to remove battery after my Galaxy Note 3 | 08:16 |
| brolin_empey | battery adventure. I remembered the name: YotaPhone. | 08:16 |
| * Oksanaa nods, yes, YotaPhone. Frankly, I am tired of "display outside, to scratch, to smash, and to make people use the phone all the time - endangering anybody in traffic | 08:26 | |
| brolin_empey | You could argue that automatic transmissions endanger other users of the road because they allow operators of a vehicle to be distracted from driving. | 08:35 |
| brolin_empey | Although accidentally stalling a vehicle with a manual transmission can be dangerous too. | 08:37 |
| brolin_empey | Or rolling back too much when stopped on an incline. | 08:38 |
| *** eMHa has joined #maemo | 08:39 | |
| brolin_empey | Also, is a manual/non-electric wheelchair a modern penny farthing? | 08:40 |
| Oksanaa | No idea. But penny farthings, unlike unicycles, are still bicycles, and thus cannot be ridden on footpath. | 09:19 |
| Oksanaa | And if I ever get around to learning road rules, I would like to learn driving with manual transmission. But that will take years. | 09:19 |
| KotCzarny | nah, manual is easy | 09:20 |
| KotCzarny | just takes some practice | 09:20 |
| KotCzarny | but it's like riding a bicycle | 09:20 |
| Oksanaa | Possibly. I learnt to ride a bicycle in my late teens. At least, I didn't fall sideways into the rice field... | 09:21 |
| * enyc meows | 09:36 | |
| sparre | Good morning. | 09:38 |
| * brolin_empey just noticed the addition of the “bugs” field in /proc/cpuinfo in Linux kernel 4.4.0 on x86. | 10:12 | |
| brolin_empey | Well, it may have been added before 4.4.0 but most of the GNU+Linux computers I use are still using a 3.x or earlier Linux kernel. | 10:13 |

| Vajb | is it worth buying more memory to laptop which is running pentium 2020m processor? It has 4gb now. | 13:41 |
| KotCzarny | does it use ssd drive? | 13:41 |
| Vajb | nope | 13:42 |
| KotCzarny | then imo ssd is better investment, assuming it doesnt have to have big storage | 13:42 |
| Vajb | it is running win10 and I noticed that when just firefox was on it was using 90% of RAM already | 13:43 |
| KotCzarny | oh, windows | 13:43 |
| KotCzarny | also, first check what is really using the ram | 13:44 |
| Vajb | doing scans but so far it has seemed clean of spyware and malware | 13:45 |
| *** florian has quit IRC | 13:46 | |
| KotCzarny | you can use memory limiting options in firefox too | 13:54 |
| KotCzarny | otherwise it's one red hungry bastard | 13:54 |
| *** eMHa has joined #maemo | 14:05 | |
| Maxdamantus | What does "using 90% of RAM" mean? Does that include disk cache? | 14:08 |
| Maxdamantus | Optimally, all RAM should be used, for cache if nothing else. | 14:08 |
| Maxdamantus | the only time you would expect RAM to be unused would be immediately after booting, or after processes that were using RAM have exited. | 14:09 |
| Vajb | Maxdamantus: it was just task manager showing 90% of memory. I thought that lag of memory makes it feel slow, but maybe it is due hdd. | 14:12 |
| Vajb | but fact is that it is rather slow computer | 14:12 |
| KotCzarny | vajb: install noscript extension | 14:12 |
| KotCzarny | it will disable javascript by default and allow whitelisting sites where it will run | 14:13 |
| KotCzarny | it's a must for braindead web2.0 philosophy | 14:13 |
| Vajb | will it be suitable for regular user who just wants to browse web and listen to music? | 14:15 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 14:15 |
| KotCzarny | you have an icon to allow/deny scripts from particular domain | 14:15 |
| bencoh | it's "suitable" but quite annoying for regular users tbh | 14:16 |
| KotCzarny | help curbing bad sites tho | 14:17 |
| *** xy2_ has joined #maemo | 14:18 | |
| Vajb | I'll check how it feels and decide accordingly. Thx for the hint. | 14:19 |
| KotCzarny | some sites are quite stubborn, and plainly refuse to run because you would need to enable all ads, up to the user what to do (temporarily allow all or just find better site) | 14:20 |

| *** l_bratch has joined #maemo | 21:09 | |
