| infobot | rumour has it, pkg is http://maemo.org/packages/ | 02:56 |
| * enyc mewos | 05:26 | |
| L29Ah | ohhh so enyc isn't a bot | 06:19 |
| enyc | L29Ah: =) | 09:04 |
| enyc | L29Ah: are you a 29Ah lithium battery? | 09:05 |
| KotCzarny | you should've seen what he has done to his n900 | 09:06 |
| L29Ah | sadly i've lost that photo, and cops have robbed me of my cute n900 | 09:07 |
| L29Ah | now i'm on a plain one and suffer due to short battery life | 09:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | well, that's the price to pay for keeping battery hogs like original Hildon desktop and Skype | 12:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or even installing a genuine Debian without power saving patches | 12:51 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or just keeping WLAN scanning for APs every 5 minutes | 12:54 |
| L29Ah | my device is idle 99% of time | 12:55 |
| L29Ah | but pretty stock with cssu | 12:56 |
| L29Ah | maybe the original flash sucks wrt idle consumption | 12:57 |
| L29Ah | i've lost all my hacks with the device as i didn't back anything up | 12:57 |
| L29Ah | maybe i should actually try pressing on the cops to get it back | 12:58 |
| L29Ah | as i look into more modern smartphones, it feels like the low power technology went kinda backwards | 12:59 |
| L29Ah | they feature huge batteries compared to n900 but about the same idle battery time | 12:59 |
| sicelo | Larger screens maybe? | 13:00 |
| KotCzarny | thats because android is a fat, hungry pig | 13:00 |
| L29Ah | and they spend it in s2ram (as otherwise the power consumption is exorbitant) while n900 can actually run processes continually | 13:00 |
| L29Ah | sicelo: KotCzarny on PinePhone you have no android, screen is off, but you still waste half a watt or smth on the idling CPU afair | 13:01 |
| KotCzarny | pinephone uses inefficient soc | 13:01 |
| KotCzarny | that might change once crust gets more mature | 13:01 |
| KotCzarny | but its a lots of work for smaeul and others | 13:01 |
| L29Ah | KotCzarny: ohh, what are they switching to? | 13:02 |
| KotCzarny | crust is firmware to run on risc core | 13:03 |
| KotCzarny | ie. can put most of the phone to sleep when not needed | 13:03 |
| L29Ah | KotCzarny: crust has nothing to do with the main CPU, no? | 13:03 |
| KotCzarny | yes, see the 'run on the risc core' part | 13:03 |
| KotCzarny | it communicates with arm cores/os via internal message box | 13:03 |
| L29Ah | that has to be effectively offline and spends a LOT of time to go to sleep or to wake up, making it useless for continuous tasks, unlike n900 that can run sshd just fine | 13:04 |
| KotCzarny | but can control almost any hw subsystem | 13:04 |
| KotCzarny | not necessarily | 13:04 |
| KotCzarny | but anyway, allwinner isnt the most power efficient soc in the world to start with | 13:04 |
| KotCzarny | still, one of the few nicely REd | 13:05 |
| KotCzarny | and supported in mainline linux | 13:05 |
| parazyd | Does Maemo e.V. hold copyright to the Nokia Gtk themes (alpha/beta)? | 18:35 |
| sixwheeledbeast | is there some licensing issue with them? | 19:26 |
