They offered a 12 month warranty. My phone died, so I sent it back. Now the tell me they need to replace the motherboard because of water damage [06:11] hey Kilos [06:11] hi Squirm [06:11] I know for a fact that there was no liquid anywhere near that phone at the time [06:12] or any time actually [06:12] hey magespawn [06:12] ahh well then you have to wonder [06:12] "There is liquid damage on the phone, the Whole motherboard need to be replace, It will cost R0200 ex. Delivery fee " [06:13] so I just sent off an email saying that I don't believe them but I would like to accept their quotation of R200.00 [06:13] how long have you had the phone? [06:13] it was about 6 months [06:13] ouch [06:14] I'm thoroughly annoyed [06:14] I can believe you may need to replace the board, but come on, not because of liquid damage [06:14] that your new fancy fone Squirm [06:15] indeed it is Kilos [06:15] eish [06:15] dont play on fone in hot bath or shower [06:15] hehe [06:15] joking [06:15] hmm, we had Friday and Monday off, but my boss and colleague aren't here yet.

[12:02] haha [12:02] the only day in the week [12:02] oh no [12:03] what do you do tuesdays? [12:03] rofl [12:03] studies 19:00 to 21:30 [12:03] *group studies [12:03] for how long still? [12:04] indefenitly, started middle of last year so it's been going on a while now. [12:05] well record it for that one night in the month then study on your own [12:09] hi Golynx [12:10] hi Kilos [12:16] Maaz: thanks [12:16] charl_: Sure [12:16] Kilos: afaik it isn't "production ready" yet but it looks very promising [12:17] hi gwood [12:17] Kilos: when it becomes production ready i might consider it, depending on the price of the hardware, but i'm not a big mobile phone user [12:17] ah [12:18] wb magespawn [12:19] look at all the peeps here and meeting still hours away [12:20] hi magespawn [12:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edge [12:20] The Ubuntu Edge was a proposed "high concept" smartphone announced by Canonical Ltd. on 22 July 2013. Canonical was seeking to crowdfund a production run of around 40,000 units through Indiegogo. It had the highest target of any crowdfunded project to date, $32,000,000 over a one-month campaign. The Edge was not intended to go into mass production after the initial run, but rather to serve as a demonstration for new technologies for [12:20] The Edge was designed as a hybrid device, which would function as a high-end smartphone (with both Ubuntu Touch and Android), or—when used with a monitor, keyboard and mouse—be able to operate as a conventional desktop PC running Ubuntu.[2] The Ubuntu Edge was also designed to support dual boot, and was to run along with Android.[3] [12:21] hi charl_ [12:21] that is where they went wrong [12:21] hi Golynx [12:21] you can read the rest of the page but it basically comes down to canonical wanting to do total overkill instead of aiming to provide a good usable phone [12:21] hi magespawn [12:21] and for a reasonable price [12:22] hi gwood [12:22] imho if they aimed a little lower and tried to create just a plain old good mobile telephone they would have made a killing [12:22] hi everyone [12:22] Professional ^^ [12:22] because just the ability to raise 12 mil is really amazing imho [12:23] hi gwood [12:23] i agree charl_ [12:24] look at how many huawei ideos they sold in kenya... if they made an all-round good phone with low cost it could be huge [12:24] i will maybe just make an html5 app for it, hav'nt tried Qt yet [12:26] Golynx: what are you looking to do exactly? sorry i think i missed half of the conversation ... [12:26] focusing at the mid to low end should be ubuntu phones playground [12:26] yeah and then you can move up to produce some high end phones too eventually [12:26] because there is a high end market, in particular a business market [12:27] a lot of people have company phones [12:27] anyone testing out Ubuntu Mobile OS? [12:27] eh on which device ??? [12:28] hi there guys [12:29] gotta go out for a bit, chat later [12:30] I saw the new tech partners that were announced and they make decent hardware http://en.meizu.com/ [12:31] the processing power on the device is more than capable of running the [12:32] hi Professional [12:32] Hi [12:33] hmm... storm coming here fast [12:34] Professional: that's interesting, those meizu phones look nice [12:35] but once again it seems like canonical is aiming at the high-end market [12:35] imho that is a mistake [12:35] they gotta make up for all the free stuff [12:35] like millions of shipped cds [12:36] the high end market will end up in apple's hands mostly, if you go head-on with apple you better know what you are doing [12:36] the benefit is apple is pricing themselves out of the market to some extent, that's why i'm saying, aim for the below-apple market [12:36] whow he got k-lined?! what was he doing [12:37] something not too opensource about that, just a little bit , and the word "Ubuntu" aswell [12:37] Oo [12:37] Oh hai guys [12:38] hi Trixar_za [12:38] the smart phone market is a tricky place you can be here today gone tomorrow. [12:38] Actually Ubuntu is pretty much the heart of the open source (and in some way the Anarchy) movements [12:38] windows [12:38] hi Trixar_za [12:39] Hey Kilos [12:40] Trixar_za: i would beg to differ... ubuntu and canonical have made themselves pretty controversial of late [12:41] hi Spekko welcome to ubuntu-za [12:41] or you just using another nick? [12:42] Kilos nope, I'm new here :) ... and thanks [12:42] hi Spekko [12:43] cool Spekko if you need linux help just ask [12:43] hi Spekko :) [12:44] but i guess ubuntu/canonical have to find ways to be profitable though. But its good for them if they can find a balance with that [12:44] Thanks :D much appreciated, I'm still VERRY noob, so you must excuse me if I ask really retarded stuff. I'm a friend of jabberwocky93 [12:45] And hello everyone :) [12:46] np Spekko the guys will help where they can [12:46] we were all noob at some time [12:47] i can now at least turn my pc on by myself [12:47] lol [12:47] rofl! [12:47] lol [12:47] Spekko: that is no problem, please feel welcome, and ask away if you have any questions [12:47] Spekko: just remember to always google first :) [12:48] i even had to be taught how to google [12:50] yeah :/ .. jabberwocky keeps spamming me with lmgtfy links [12:50] one still need to think hard while structuring your google query [12:51] aspecially when it comes to programming [12:51] lmgtfy :-) [12:51] yeah getting to know what to google for is an art [12:52] that is the problem yes [12:52] the point i was trying to make is that, if you type whatever you typed into irc into google and the first result is the answer, you don't have an excuse [12:52] Companies should have positions open for people who specialise in writing Google Queries. [12:52] spekko you can pm maaz and practise googling with him [12:52] as in [12:53] Maaz google lost [12:53] Kilos: "Watch Lost | ABC TV Show - ABC.com" http://abc.go.com/shows/lost :: "Lost (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series) :: "Lost (TV Series 2004–2010) - IMDb" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/ :: "Lost - Lostpedia - The Lost Encyclopedia - Wikia" http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Lost :: "Lostpedia - The [12:53] Lost Encyclopedia" https://lostpedia.wikia.com/ :: "'Lost' Finale Explained: Answering the… [12:53] Maaz google Bottie [12:53] Spekko: "Urban Dictionary: bottie" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bottie :: "Urban Dictionary: Hottie Bottie" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hottie%20Bottie :: "Urban Dictionary: Bottie cough" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bottie%20cough :: "Bottie - definition of Bottie by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus ..."

It will give them way faster results than having to wait long for an experts reply [12:57] i go pump water before power goes [12:57] Spekko is that gangnam style lol [12:59] Golynx: yes that and it lightens the load on the experts :) [13:00] Well, it was just a bro dancing, but potato tomato [13:02] Well, it lightens the load on the experts that haven't been jaded by the lazy [13:04] charl_ exactly.

[14:04] with some of us yes, but most have to use windows at work [14:06] ic. seems microsoft marketing really good in everywhere. [14:06] yeah [14:10] use yes [14:10] yes [14:11] yes [14:11] hehe [14:13] i'm recommend one software from china, i think very cool for u o [14:13] it can't run in mac, but windows and ubuntu ok [14:13] what is it for?

[14:15] but im sure some guys will go look at it [14:15] to be honest, libreoffice is very not stable under heavy duty environment [14:15] my whole company using ubuntu and Mac [14:16] so far the only challenge we face now is office application not hit enterprise requirement [14:16] else ubuntu team good job. [14:17] WPS seems close the gaps. [14:20] ? [14:20] im not an office user so dont know [14:21] well, it crash, memory leak, hang [14:21] function limited is something acceptable, but when it slow down computer then trouble.
