[07:15] wow a long time since i have logd on to irc [07:15] how are all the old hats doing [07:16] and it looks like i only know one person here jdong [07:16] ugh and I've even barely been around [07:17] i havnt bine on in close to 3 years [07:17] i have moved 3 times since i was last on [07:18] i now live in a collage town [07:18] with my wife [07:18] that i just married may of last year [07:19] and i am missing my ubuntu :( [07:19] hehe [07:20] oh how time changes things [07:20] i only have my lappy now no frankenstine pc's [07:20] I'm still doing Ubuntu work but oddly enough for the most part under the umbrella of the evil empire (tm) [07:20] and i dont have the space for it [07:21] lol tipical [07:21] ant it [07:23] I guess so [07:23] hey, I have to feed myself at the end of the day. [07:23] i dont even have a solid inet connection i am teathering my cellphone atm with a true unlimited [07:23] ya we all have to feed the need [07:23] yeah I was doing that for a week or two when I moved into this apartment. [07:24] gotta love att [07:24] lol [07:24] haha [07:25] I've got both an AT&T and a Verizon iPhone [07:25] both of which tether. [07:25] I was switching between the two [07:25] well the Verizon one I'm more or less paid to abuse, so I was using that one more. [07:25] motorola karma q1a is what i use [07:26] batt life is an issue tho about 2-3hrs of heavy use then i have t o switch out the batt [07:26] yeah the Verizon iPhone can tether for about 5-6 hours of heavy use [07:27] but in a few days i qualify for a upgrade my wife wants it but she has a newer phone than mine [07:27] and i am looking at a android [07:28] 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] motorola really made improvements to power consumption there [07:28] and hey jdong [07:28] i am looking at a sony erassion xperia x10 [07:29] look at the upgrade cycle [07:29] 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 [07:30] 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] this one is [07:30] i think its 2.4 [07:30] I'd have to say they barely improved it on the software side. [07:31] :) [07:31] i am on my secound android device and i think my next device will be an iphone 5 [07:32] i want to try an android befor i go al iphone and get locked out of the software [07:32] and hell personally I even feel iPhone/Darwin power consumption still sucks. [07:32] but eh then I'm getting too picky. [07:33] for the devices I work on, typical power draw is on the order of single milliamps :) [07:33] what are they [07:33] various iPods [07:33] lol and the new ones he cant talk about yet [07:33] ah isnt the biggest power draw at this point the screen though [07:34] well it only is because of the sheer amount of optimization done. [07:34] i would think it would be the audio chips [07:34] try decoding AAC or MP3 on any other Cortex ARM processor [07:34] and tell me how much power it's drawing [07:34] probably 10x as much [07:34] it would make sense they use specific chips for hardware decoding to lower the power draw [07:35] every milliamp is like pulling teath [07:35] not particularly true :) [07:35] and yes, every milliamp is like an hour of music playback [07:35] that would be one of the main reasons they are very particular about video they support [07:36] unless you use rockbox [07:36] but does that use more amps buy using a differnt decoder [07:36] i would think so but we know someone else would know better [07:37] yep [07:37] and i wonder if he has tested that [07:42] and the brain that jdong is has gone silent [07:44] goodnight everyone [07:44] night shadow [12:21] okay, will grab it [16:07] Hi All [16:08] Hello [16:12] Just checking out this channel. this is the general chatroom for the community right? [16:12] Erik_NL_84: I'd say that is #ubuntu-offtopic [16:12] But the forums people may disagree with me. [16:12] Where is this one for? [16:13] Its ubuntuforum's home on IRC. [16:13] Ok, so this one is for discussions about the forum in general? [16:15] Then I think I indeed need to move to offtopic :P Bye === bodhizazen_ is now known as bodhizazen === jussi01_ is now known as jussi === s-fox2 is now known as s-fox === bodhizazen_ is now known as bodhizazen === popey_ is now known as popey
