DocScrutinizer05WTF is this??  >>Samsung Region Lock: This phone must be used with a European SIM card in Europe. If you want to use this phone with a non-EU- SIM card or outside EU, you must operate the phone for at least 5 minutes with a EU SIM in region EU first. Failing to do so, I.E. using the phone initially outside EU or with a non-EU SIM will result in malfuntion of the phone and the need to have the phone unlocked in a Samsung service point<<04:42
DocScrutinizer05is this a ultra-nifty way to spoil the day of asian mafia et al?04:44
brolin_empeyThe European Union is a subset of Europe and countries such as Russia and Turkey are in both Europe and Asia.05:51
brolin_empeyWhat if you only use the SIM in the Asian part of a country that is also in Europe, such as Russia or Turkey?  “EU” seems ambiguous because it could mean either Europe or the European Union, which are not the same.05:54
brolin_empeyCan you have an MX record for mx.mx.mx ?06:04
brolin_empeyMore precisely for mx.mx.mx. ?06:07
brolin_empeyActually, apparently the states of Mexico do not have their own second-level domain names in the .mx top-level domain.06:46
brolin_empeyVivaldi just silently exited on my home computer with 16 GiB of main memory? :-/06:53
*** pagurus` has quit IRC06:58
DocScrutinizer05brolin_empey: they were pretty specific, with list of countriesd that are not EU (not ambiguous) and yet allowed07:11
brolin_empeySuch as Norway?07:12
DocScrutinizer05let's assume "yes", just to determine if it's worth me fetching that fineprint paper07:13
DocScrutinizer05what's your conclusion fom "Norway yes"?07:13
brolin_empeyI meant that “EU” as a contraction of “Europ[ea]” is ambiguous because “EU” is also the initials of the European Union, which is only a subset of Europe because it excludes countries that are fully in Europe, such as Norway, and countries that are partially in Europe, such as Russia.07:16
brolin_empeyContraction, clipping, abbreviation, whatever.07:17
*** merlin1991 has quit IRC07:25
*** merlin1991 has joined #maemo07:25
DocScrutinizer05please note that I meant EU when I wrote EU07:25
DocScrutinizer05google "samsung region lock"07:26
DocScrutinizer05it's obviously around since 201307:26
DocScrutinizer05the text:  https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/mobile-phone/how-remove-samsung-region-locking-3590401/07:28
DocScrutinizer05not exactly my text, but similar07:29
brolin_empeys/google/Search the Internet for/ I primarily use DuckDuckGo, not Google Search.  I also use Bing Search in addition to DuckDuckGo and Google Search.07:31
DocScrutinizer05good for you. you're a smart guy who should understand that "to google" is a generic term nowadays07:34
DocScrutinizer05I use startpage, FWIW07:34
DocScrutinizer05even more so, I only provide startpage links, never google links07:36
DocScrutinizer05https://www.startpage.com/do/search?query=samsung+region+lock07:36
DocScrutinizer05but I guess hardly anybody understands >>stzartpage  "samsung region lock"<<07:37
DocScrutinizer05"to google" is in all dictionaries now07:37
brolin_empeyBy your reasoning, you would also use “Photoshop” as a verb even though the Adobe Photoshop does not natively run on your apparently preferred platform of GNU+Linux.07:41
brolin_empeyDo you also use “Skype” as a verb even though Skype is closed-source software popular with persons who do not know how to use the SIP with a service such as VoIP.ms or iptel.org ?07:44
DocScrutinizer05yes, I use the term "this is photoshoped"07:50
DocScrutinizer05and no, Skype afaik ios not commonly accepted as a term yet07:50
brolin_empeyDo you live in the FRoG (the Federal Republic of Germany)?07:51
DocScrutinizer05also SIP VoIP predates and dwarfs skype07:51
DocScrutinizer05and I think this convo turns strange and weird now, so I'm out07:52
DocScrutinizer05ding: >>to google (sth./sb.); to search (for sth./sb.) on the Internet; to search the Internet for sth./sb. (esp. using the Google search engine)  :::  (nach jdm./etw.) googeln; im Internet suchen; im Internet recherchieren (bes. mit der Suchmaschine Google) [comp.] <<07:54
DocScrutinizer05also see Duden and I guess Meriam Webster07:54
DocScrutinizer05also Hornby07:55
brolin_empeyI do not speak German but I know some about the language.07:56
DocScrutinizer05https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Learners-Dictionary-Current-English/dp/0194311414 aka "Hornby"07:56
DocScrutinizer05when you know sth about the language, you will know Duden07:57
DocScrutinizer05it included "googeln" (to google) several years ago already07:58
brolin_empeyI was already aware of Duden before today.07:58
brolin_empeyI enjoy reading dictionaries.07:58
DocScrutinizer05thanks for confirming that, though it sounds like a defeating reply07:59
DocScrutinizer05I'm out, this is not leading anywhere07:59
brolin_empeyOf course not, because we are RoHS-compliant. ;-)08:01
brolin_empeySeriously, though, I usually use the English-language Wiktionary.08:03
DocScrutinizer05honestly, from arguing about allegedly ambiguous term "EU" to "to google" to "to photoshop" to which dictionary to use? dang you must be bored08:08
DocScrutinizer05I'm totllay missing the point you try to make08:08
brolin_empeyIf “North America” is abbreviated to “NA” then “Europ[ea]” is probably also abbreviated to “EU” even though “European Union” is abbreviated to “EU” too.  That was my point about “EU” having the potential for ambiguity.  I never argued about which dictionary to use, I only meant to tell you that I usually use the English-language Wiktionary as a general source as opposed to special sources such as Duden or other sources for08:41
brolin_empeyspecific languages.  I am not bored because I literally always have something I should be doing but I often still procrastinate.  I should have been updating my resume, which was last modified in 2011, or shopping for low-energy light bulbs, probably LED or compact fluorescent, because I have no spare light bulbs at home, or replying to my written one-on-one conversations with some women, or maybe some fun but low priority computer project such as trying to08:41
brolin_empeyHackintosh my HP 2133 Mini-Note notebook computer or other, more useful computer projects such as finally getting around to implementing SPF for my domain name or trying to use a small, solid-state x86 computer that can boot from a 2.5-inch SATA drive such as the ODroid H2 (correct name?) to replace some fanful tower computers with microATX or larger motherboards in my home and office.08:41
brolin_empeyOr even seeing if my ET1000 8-bit ISA video card works better in my Asus P2B-based computer with i440BX chipset that natively supports ISA than in my Socket-370 motherboard with VIA chipset that relies upon a PCI to ISA bridge.08:46
brolin_empeyOr trying to fix my user error that seems to not matter in practice in the installation of acme.sh on a server of a customer of my company during Friday night, which is presumably a period of low demand for the service provided by this production server.08:50

fishbulbit's weird that it would stop16:41
sicelospeark or earpiece? if earpiece __> suspect riboon cable16:41
sicelosorry for typos16:41
fishbulbearpiece, there's been no inteermittent faults or anything.16:43

sixwheeledbeast~fixribbon16:55
infobotfixribbon is, like, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1324171#post132417116:55
fishbulbfrom the boot menu can i do a kind of factory reset?17:03
siceloit won't fix a broken ribbon ...17:03
siceloN900 doesn't have a boot menu. what do you mean?17:04
fishbulbi am using the phone, i have barely any data17:04
fishbulbthe one you install17:05
fishbulbi don't remember. there's a lot of shit going on.17:06
sicelonot a far as i remember.  simplest way to reset n900 is toreflash, and i repeat - it won't fix a non-working earpiece17:06
*** Pali has quit IRC17:07
fishbulbi don't have facilities to fix a broken ribbon xcable, i am inbetween apartments17:07
siceloresetting won't help either. that's the point.. maybe now you have a good reason to buy an Android phone :)17:09
fishbulbi want to reset for different reasons17:11
fishbulband i will need to research which android phone is best for my budget17:11
fishbulbi can't waste hundreds of euros on something that turns out to be worse17:11
siceloi'm sure you'll get something. choice is virtually limitless on android17:13
fishbulbthis is fucking terrible. getting an apartment is so bad here.17:13
fishbulbthat's what makes it so frustrating. the cheap choices from a store are a bit limited. i need the money to get an apartment. new phones aren't really in trhe budget17:19
fishbulbwhat about life says it has to work out. surely there's guys in prison who are there from a millisecond of too much stress17:34
sicelo:)17:38
fishbulbglad you're happy17:42

sicelowe have same issue in my country. people were complaiing that our country's most ruthless serial killer is living a life of luxury in prison. evidently, he could watch the world cup in style17:51
fishbulbi have been to jail and it's worse than you think17:56
buZzi just stopped caring about phones :)18:00
buZzdont need mobile data, dont need voice chats18:00
fishbulbserial killer should have been quietly removed but he has human rights and if thr death penalty exists it's possible an innocent person can be killed18:02
fishbulbbuzz those things make life easier18:02
fishbulbespecially if all your family is overseas18:02
siceloyou're missing the point  fishbulb. oh well18:02
buZzfishbulb: i dont like that18:03
buZzand wont cooperate in upholding such systems18:03
fishbulbwhat was the point18:04
* sicelo afk18:06
fishbulbwell you have a luxury then18:06
buZzyeah i dont see one either18:06
buZzhow does carrying a 24/7 on radio help with your families geological distance18:06

fishbulbi was testing shit out, it seems like hands on is the quickest way of infection. maybe onoly if you don't use wifi?20:53
KotCzarny~flashing20:54
infobotmethinks maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, or - on linux PC - download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh; or see ~flashing-cmdline, or see ~lazyflashing20:54

fishbulba lot of it.20:56
fishbulbis there a maemo future?20:56
fishbulbthe topic suggests it20:56
fishbulbit'll flash back to factory?20:59
fishbulbthis tiny thing is horrible for reading anything21:02
fishbulbhands on the device might be the only way of infection if you don't use the wifi21:15
KotCzarnynope.21:16
fishbulbno?21:16
fishbulbthat confuses me then21:18
fishbulbwith part of this experiment21:18
fishbulbare you german kotzkarny21:19
fishbulbkotczarny. wait i think i read kot is slavic, not sure why germans uase it21:21
fishbulbkotczarny can you elaborate on the security of these things, the forums are mostly pointless21:35
KotCzarnyold kernel, old libs, device connected to the internet in any way is susceptible to remote volnerabilities if cellular provider dont filter incoming packets. and to local vulnerabilities in browserd (any component that uses it)21:38
*** Kilroo has joined #maemo21:50
fishbulbso bad across the board21:50
KotCzarnythere are OFFLINE power plants hacked21:50
KotCzarnyso even being cut from the net doesnt prevent being hacked21:51
fishbulbpower plants21:53
fishbulbi need a phone not a power plant21:53
KotCzarnyyou are not reading what i wrote21:53
fishbulbi will amalgamate it with what i know so far21:56
fishbulbthanks21:56
fishbulbbasicvally there is no security21:59
fishbulbfuck it.21:59
KotCzarnyyes.21:59
KotCzarnygo for freebsd, they will sing you to sleep22:00
fishbulbthe internet equals a shitload of people and most of them are mostly bad22:00
sixwheeledbeastnothing is truly "secure". Security is all about layers and the number of layers should be equal to the risk.22:00
KotCzarnylayers have holes, some are obscure, some are not-yet-found22:01
fishbulblayers?22:01
fishbulbi got doxxed recently for no reason22:01
sixwheeledbeastLayers should be constantly assessed and adapted as issues are found.22:01
KotCzarnyofftopic, i'm slowly starting to love my espressobin22:02
