Wikiwide | And now PDF reader is stuck. It has document X open, I click in File Manager for document Y to open, and PDF manager continues to display document X, not perturbed in the least. | 03:14 |
---|---|---|
Wikiwide | PDF reader can go all-black for a while, so it does hear something from File Manager - it's not File Manager's fault. | 03:16 |
Wikiwide | And IRC is jumpy - on cellular Internet! At this rate, I will advocate for wooden buses with built-in Ethernet Internet - not that I know of any mobile phones with Ethernet built-in | 03:19 |
Wikiwide | And barcode readers don't read barcode from my phone's display. I have already done 200% or so zoom, set brightness to 5/5, the barcode occupies at least quarter of display - half of width and half of height... | 03:53 |
Wikiwide | They are probably designed to work with AMOLED display, with super-transparent Gorilla/sapphire glass :-/ | 03:53 |
Wikiwide | At this rate, I would want to have a e-ink display for documents, barcodes and static images - low-power and I think that e-ink should be as readable as paper. | 03:54 |
* Maxdamantus got an e-ink device yesterday (Kobo) | 04:31 | |
Maxdamantus | display seems quite nice. | 04:31 |
* Maxdamantus wants to see if he can get a usable terminal running on it at some point. | 04:32 | |
Wikiwide | Maxdamantus: Sounds neat :-) | 07:20 |
KotCzarny | maxd: what soc? | 10:03 |
KotCzarny | as for terminal, you would have your own app, so refreshes wont drive it dead ;) | 10:04 |
KotCzarny | *write your own app | 10:04 |
Maxdamantus | Do modern e-ink displays have lifetime issues? | 10:21 |
Maxdamantus | I imagine the main reason for having to write some special screen update mechanism is just to avoid ghosting. | 10:22 |
Maxdamantus | as for continuous updates, I've noticed the included web browser supports canvas .. was able to run http://maxdamantus.github.io/recplay/ on it. | 10:23 |
KotCzarny | they are physical medium | 10:23 |
Maxdamantus | So is everything. | 10:23 |
KotCzarny | so i would assume they do, although it was more about refresh rate | 10:23 |
Maxdamantus | including LCD. | 10:23 |
KotCzarny | imagine running dmesg on it | 10:23 |
KotCzarny | ;) | 10:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | KotCzarny: on what? e-ink? X-D | 15:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there's even 2-color e-ink paper now. Black&red. I guess other colors exist as well | 15:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the "A4" size display allegedly (according to the fuzzy dadashit) takes up to 40 seconds for one full erase&scan | 16:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep, forty. aka 2/3 of a minute | 16:01 |
KotCzarny | well, 16 level grayscale 1024x768 takes ~1s for full update | 17:40 |
KotCzarny | with reset | 17:40 |
KotCzarny | and color eink is just color filter applied on particular subpixels | 17:41 |
KotCzarny | so color is tripling horizontal resolution in terms of pixels to refresh | 17:41 |
