01:23.04DocScrutinizer05smokex: ((concrete absorbs charge from lion batteries like a leach)) now I know what you're talking about. NCIS L.A. just explained that a new battery system developed by the navy emits Li-Ion radiation and thus they needed a dosimeter in that race car that used this new battery system to improve the combustion of the engine
01:25.30DocScrutinizer05honestly I think TV kills the brain and makes a complete idiot of everybody who's not "hardened" agianst the influence
01:25.52DocScrutinizer05all in line with Fran Zappa's "I'm the slime"

02:26.45MFaro-Tusinovgrade: morning \o
02:36.45MFaro-TusinoDocScrutinizer05: So I was looking into charging earlier today - I can't make sense of how Sailfish manages it
02:36.58MFaro-TusinoI don't see a sh file conventionally named
02:37.22DocScrutinizer05sailfish for sure is using some kernel module, or libhybris
02:38.08DocScrutinizer05depending on platform, charging might not need *any* software support
02:38.50DocScrutinizer05so what you find by "looking into sailfish" for sure depends on the hw platform it's made for
02:40.01DocScrutinizer05since info about jollaPhone is more than sparse, I have No Faintest Clue how charging works there
02:40.41MFaro-Tusinoyeah - thats why I'm hoping when I get my review device I can look into it more
02:40.55DocScrutinizer05but I'm pretty sure when it is controlled by software then via libhybris
02:41.26DocScrutinizer05thus you won't be any wiser after looking into jPhone charging
02:42.11DocScrutinizer05unless you RE libhybris
02:43.08DocScrutinizer05honestly sailfish as is now, is as much a complete OS as win3.11 been
02:43.53DocScrutinizer05AIUI it can't really run on devices that don't have a android HAL
02:46.36DocScrutinizer05I don't manage to wrap my head around that whole mess. I don't see how libhybris can use an android HAL when the kernel isn't the one this android HAL got written for
02:48.13DocScrutinizer05maybe today is not one of my brightest days... :-/
02:49.10DocScrutinizer05I also wonder if that damn device ever starts shipping to me
02:51.25DocScrutinizer05though OTOH I'm not as eager to get may paws at it as you seem to be. It's boring and annoying me each day a little more than the day before
02:51.39DocScrutinizer05just like did the N9
02:51.58DocScrutinizer05and the N9 I got for free
02:52.04MFaro-TusinoI just want to see if it surpasses my expectations
02:52.07MFaro-Tusino(I did too)
02:53.11DocScrutinizer05I see it doesn't ship with any decent docs so you could make use of the brick beyond what the gods of jolla thought "app devels" would need to be able to do
02:53.43DocScrutinizer05heck I don't even see any docs about the friggin TOH I2C interface
02:54.11DocScrutinizer05and the missing flasher makes it a still born tragedy
02:55.28DocScrutinizer05I don't even dare to *touch* this thing, feeling afraid I could chose some "incorrect" locale or whatever in initial aka first-boot setup that I never again can revert
02:57.00DocScrutinizer05counting in all those little (missing) details, the whole thing is such an epic fail... ;-S
02:57.51DocScrutinizer05I'd rather get an android device, where I had CM at least
02:58.54DocScrutinizer05seriously, no kidding. I think cyanogen mod would offer more user freedom to mess with the device than whole sailfish on jollaphone does
02:59.42DocScrutinizer05(not that I ever looked into any android or even CM)
03:02.20DocScrutinizer05I'm seriously considering to immediately sell this brick the very moment it arrives at me
03:02.48DocScrutinizer05would be interesting to find out how much it could go for, on ebay
03:03.23DocScrutinizer05would it be more than the 413EUR I paid for it? less? how much less?
03:04.02MFaro-Tusinohttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Jolla-16GB-Sailfish-OS-Mobile-Phone-with-exclusive-cover-new-in-sealed-box-/221334700679?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3388938287
03:05.11DocScrutinizer05THe FUCK!!! :-D
03:05.21DocScrutinizer05now I know for sure what I gonna do
03:11.07MFaro-Tusinohahah
03:14.11DocScrutinizer05feeling way better now about my own stupidity to *again* pay money to get a sample of a new device
03:15.16DocScrutinizer05funny enough other jollas go for $850 "buy now"
03:17.37DocScrutinizer05OH I see, ``Without battery if sent abroad!ยดยด
03:18.29DocScrutinizer05LOL
03:20.15*** join/#n950club mattaustin (~matt@106-68-204-39.dyn.iinet.net.au)
03:23.34MFaro-Tusinouseless!
03:25.25DocScrutinizer05I wonder how Jolla and Nokia manage to ship their products
03:25.56DocScrutinizer05and on same topic, about any arbitrary other portable electronics manufacturer nowadays
03:26.08DocScrutinizer05apple for example, or samsung
03:26.49DocScrutinizer05mayn of those devices have no removable battery at all
03:27.10DocScrutinizer05so this means you can't ship iPhones? lol
03:27.30MFaro-TusinoFrom blogging I have an understanding of how it all goes down - due to gettting devices sent to me and shipping them back
03:27.52MFaro-TusinoMany countries have bans on exporting batteries
03:28.57MFaro-TusinoThough, if you are a company, you can request that you're company gets permission to ship them. Some shipping companies exist that will ship them, though, for example, for me to ship to the US a phone, its about AUD$150
03:29.26DocScrutinizer05yay
03:29.36MFaro-TusinoSo Apple, Samsung, Nokia etc, can ship the phones wherever they like, though its hard for individuals to ship them
03:29.44MFaro-Tusino(Without paying a hefty fee of course)
03:30.11DocScrutinizer05or without blatantly lying about the package content
03:30.49MFaro-TusinoYeah that too!
03:31.13DocScrutinizer05I simply won't open the original packaging, so I never got to know about any battery inside
03:31.47DocScrutinizer05maybe I don't even open up the DHL/whatever wrapper, so I'd be surprised when they don't pick it up again
03:31.54MFaro-Tusinohaha
03:32.03DocScrutinizer05just with a different addr sticker on it
03:34.29MFaro-TusinoNot sure if you can (as it would still have Jolla waybill info attached to it )
03:34.31mattaustinIt's mostly to do with the right declaration. I think certain batteries can no longer be transported on a plane with passengers etc.
03:35.14mattaustinhttp://www.dhl.com.au/content/dam/downloads/g0/express/shipping/lithium_batteries/lithium_batteries_interactive_tool.pdf
03:35.37DocScrutinizer05I think it's first and foremost about safe packaging which only companies can warrant
03:36.13DocScrutinizer05a LiIon in a iPhone is considered inherently safe
03:36.44DocScrutinizer05a raw possibly tampered with LiIon shipped by a weird individual... NOT
03:37.09mattaustinYeah, stll has to have special stickers on the packaging, and a signed declaration. I had to do the same for my laptop recently which didn't have a removable battery when I returned it for servicing.
03:37.28DocScrutinizer05:od:
03:37.33DocScrutinizer05:nod: even
03:37.43mattaustin:)
03:39.12mattaustinMy Jolla should arrive in the UK on Monday. Hoping that I can get it forwarded to Perth in time for Christmas. Expensive though for private forwarding. 50-60GBP.
03:42.04DocScrutinizer05how much **Watt per hour** OUUUuuuUUUUUUCH!
03:45.43DocScrutinizer05>>use the formula Ampere hours x Voltage in case the watt per hour is not marked in the battery<< Math: insufficient, 'F', 0 points. Start with class #5 again!  Ah*V = VA/h,  uh??
03:53.37MFaro-Tusinohahah
03:59.19DocScrutinizer05only PRIMARY (metal) Li-cells are forbidden to transport on board of passenger airplanes, and AIUI only for USA (and Asia)
04:00.01DocScrutinizer05and yes, it's mainly about packaging (cell needs own blister) and proper labeling
04:00.42DocScrutinizer05LiIon *can* get extinguished by airplane halon fire extinguisher. Metal Li cells CANNOT
04:01.24DocScrutinizer05(according to that pretty scientifically sound DHL document ;-D)
04:04.46DocScrutinizer05I should file the required documents with "no 'watt per hour' figure available for this unit. Here are the WattHour figures instead, if you care about those maybe:..."
04:08.00DocScrutinizer05I bang my head against the wall ~5..8 times a year, when in TV again they tell stuff like "this power plant can provide electrical power for 500 households per year"
04:08.27DocScrutinizer05so after 10 years it can provide power for 5k households, or what?
04:09.09MFaro-TusinoYou make me laugh!
04:09.55DocScrutinizer05shows how stupid average joe parrots any technical data he heard, without thinking for a single second what it might mean
04:12.29DocScrutinizer05maybe we should specify our CPU as "1GHz/day"
04:14.34DocScrutinizer05with one gigabyte*8bits/byte log hours^2 memory
04:16.50mattaustin:D
04:16.51DocScrutinizer05then we double that to "2 giganibble/4bit-nibbles-per-device memory"
04:17.18DocScrutinizer05err
04:17.45DocScrutinizer05to "2 giganibble/(byte/2)-nibbles-per-device memory"
04:18.32MFaro-Tusino:D
04:19.47DocScrutinizer05and finally we go to a plain and stunning (and even 100% correct) '8Gb memory'
04:20.02DocScrutinizer05for mark3 device series
04:22.03DocScrutinizer05'with doubled data rate"
04:22.45DocScrutinizer05'which means it can move twice as much data per hour'
