| zenrox | wow a long time since i have logd on to irc | 07:15 |
|---|---|---|
| zenrox | how are all the old hats doing | 07:15 |
| zenrox | and it looks like i only know one person here jdong | 07:16 |
| jdong | ugh and I've even barely been around | 07:16 |
| zenrox | i havnt bine on in close to 3 years | 07:17 |
| zenrox | i have moved 3 times since i was last on | 07:17 |
| zenrox | i now live in a collage town | 07:18 |
| zenrox | with my wife | 07:18 |
| zenrox | that i just married may of last year | 07:18 |
| zenrox | and i am missing my ubuntu :( | 07:19 |
| jdong | hehe | 07:19 |
| jdong | oh how time changes things | 07:20 |
| zenrox | i only have my lappy now no frankenstine pc's | 07:20 |
| jdong | I'm still doing Ubuntu work but oddly enough for the most part under the umbrella of the evil empire (tm) | 07:20 |
| zenrox | and i dont have the space for it | 07:20 |
| zenrox | lol tipical | 07:21 |
| zenrox | ant it | 07:21 |
| jdong | I guess so | 07:23 |
| jdong | hey, I have to feed myself at the end of the day. | 07:23 |
| zenrox | i dont even have a solid inet connection i am teathering my cellphone atm with a true unlimited | 07:23 |
| zenrox | ya we all have to feed the need | 07:23 |
| jdong | yeah I was doing that for a week or two when I moved into this apartment. | 07:23 |
| zenrox | gotta love att | 07:24 |
| zenrox | lol | 07:24 |
| jdong | haha | 07:24 |
| jdong | I've got both an AT&T and a Verizon iPhone | 07:25 |
| jdong | both of which tether. | 07:25 |
| jdong | I was switching between the two | 07:25 |
| jdong | well the Verizon one I'm more or less paid to abuse, so I was using that one more. | 07:25 |
| zenrox | motorola karma q1a is what i use | 07:25 |
| zenrox | batt life is an issue tho about 2-3hrs of heavy use then i have t o switch out the batt | 07:26 |
| jdong | yeah the Verizon iPhone can tether for about 5-6 hours of heavy use | 07:26 |
| zenrox | but in a few days i qualify for a upgrade my wife wants it but she has a newer phone than mine | 07:27 |
| zenrox | and i am looking at a android | 07:27 |
| Shadow__X | only relating to battery life. i have to say i am impressed with the battery life of my droid 2 compared to my droid 1 | 07:28 |
| Shadow__X | motorola really made improvements to power consumption there | 07:28 |
| Shadow__X | and hey jdong | 07:28 |
| zenrox | i am looking at a sony erassion xperia x10 | 07:28 |
| Shadow__X | look at the upgrade cycle | 07:29 |
| Shadow__X | at the minimum to buy an android device it should be on 2.2 and even still some oem's take forever to push updates out | 07:29 |
| jdong | no offense to all the Droidies out there, but as someone who spends 10-15 hours of his day optimizing iDevice power usage..... | 07:30 |
| zenrox | this one is | 07:30 |
| zenrox | i think its 2.4 | 07:30 |
| jdong | I'd have to say they barely improved it on the software side. | 07:30 |
| Shadow__X | :) | 07:31 |
| Shadow__X | i am on my secound android device and i think my next device will be an iphone 5 | 07:31 |
| zenrox | i want to try an android befor i go al iphone and get locked out of the software | 07:32 |
| jdong | and hell personally I even feel iPhone/Darwin power consumption still sucks. | 07:32 |
| jdong | but eh then I'm getting too picky. | 07:32 |
| jdong | for the devices I work on, typical power draw is on the order of single milliamps :) | 07:33 |
| Shadow__X | what are they | 07:33 |
| jdong | various iPods | 07:33 |
| zenrox | lol and the new ones he cant talk about yet | 07:33 |
| Shadow__X | ah isnt the biggest power draw at this point the screen though | 07:33 |
| jdong | well it only is because of the sheer amount of optimization done. | 07:34 |
| zenrox | i would think it would be the audio chips | 07:34 |
| jdong | try decoding AAC or MP3 on any other Cortex ARM processor | 07:34 |
| jdong | and tell me how much power it's drawing | 07:34 |
| jdong | probably 10x as much | 07:34 |
| Shadow__X | it would make sense they use specific chips for hardware decoding to lower the power draw | 07:34 |
| zenrox | every milliamp is like pulling teath | 07:35 |
| jdong | not particularly true :) | 07:35 |
| jdong | and yes, every milliamp is like an hour of music playback | 07:35 |
| Shadow__X | that would be one of the main reasons they are very particular about video they support | 07:35 |
| zenrox | unless you use rockbox | 07:36 |
| zenrox | but does that use more amps buy using a differnt decoder | 07:36 |
| Shadow__X | i would think so but we know someone else would know better | 07:36 |
| zenrox | yep | 07:37 |
| zenrox | and i wonder if he has tested that | 07:37 |
| zenrox | and the brain that jdong is has gone silent | 07:42 |
| Shadow__X | goodnight everyone | 07:44 |
| zenrox | night shadow | 07:44 |
| Daviey | okay, will grab it | 12:21 |
| Erik_NL_84 | Hi All | 16:07 |
| s-fox | Hello | 16:08 |
| Erik_NL_84 | Just checking out this channel. this is the general chatroom for the community right? | 16:12 |
| Pici | Erik_NL_84: I'd say that is #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:12 |
| Pici | But the forums people may disagree with me. | 16:12 |
| Erik_NL_84 | Where is this one for? | 16:12 |
| Pici | Its ubuntuforum's home on IRC. | 16:13 |
| Erik_NL_84 | Ok, so this one is for discussions about the forum in general? | 16:13 |
| Erik_NL_84 | Then I think I indeed need to move to offtopic :P Bye | 16:15 |
