| Langjan | hoe gaan dit? | 08:55 |
| paddatrapper | hey almal | 09:38 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:10 |
| Kilos | was working outside | 10:10 |
| superfly | good evening | 10:29 |
| superfly | paddatrapper: did you see the thunderstorm and the hail last night? | 10:29 |
| paddatrapper | I heard the first bit of it as I was falling asleep | 10:30 |
| paddatrapper | It was cool! | 10:30 |
| mazal | Hi | 10:48 |
| theblazehen | hi mazal. How are you? | 10:57 |
| Kilos | hi mazal theblazehen | 10:57 |
| theblazehen | hi Kilos | 11:00 |
| Kilos | Yenrabbit hi | 14:30 |
| paddatrapper | Hey Yenrabbit | 15:05 |
| paddatrapper | Anyone had any experience with TLP power management with Ubuntu? | 15:08 |
| Kilos | what is that | 15:08 |
| Kilos | tlp | 15:08 |
| paddatrapper | Power management software mainly to help prolong battery life on laptops | 15:10 |
| Kilos | whew someone told me about that about a year ago | 15:10 |
| Kilos | google how to prolong laptop battery life on ubntu | 15:11 |
| Kilos | ubuntu | 15:11 |
| paddatrapper | Yeah, I have. Now going to play with it | 15:11 |
| Kilos | bots are broken so cant ask tem | 15:11 |
| Kilos | my battery is totally broken so runs only when chargers plugged in | 15:12 |
| paddatrapper | My battery is still fairly new, but would like to have it last a full day of lectures and general work instead of the 4 hours I'm currently getting | 15:15 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 15:15 |
| magespawn | four hours is not too bad in my experience | 15:17 |
| paddatrapper | I known, just want to see if I can push it longer | 15:18 |
| magespawn | i see | 15:19 |
| Kilos | minimise all gui stuff | 15:19 |
| Kilos | min lighting etc | 15:19 |
| paddatrapper | Yup. And I have noticed that a more bloated system is more of a battery drain (as expected) | 15:20 |
| Kilos | you using kde hey? | 15:21 |
| paddatrapper | Yup, but compared to no desktop enviroment and only i3 as the WM before there is a hit on battery | 15:21 |
| Kilos | big diffs? | 15:22 |
| paddatrapper | 15-30 minutes, not too much | 15:22 |
| Kilos | now how does one go lighter and keep kde | 15:23 |
| Kilos | i know bento is much lighter but the you use openbox | 15:23 |
| Kilos | then | 15:23 |
| Kilos | ai! how to have your cake and eat it | 15:24 |
| paddatrapper | I'm fine with it as it is, though I'm curious to see what TLP does with it | 15:24 |
| Kilos | good luck | 15:24 |
| Kilos | if it works then tell me how when i get a new battery | 15:25 |
| paddatrapper | Will do | 15:25 |
| paddatrapper | Apparently it is simply install and forget, but we shall see | 15:25 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 15:25 |
| Kilos | maybe inetpro or superfly will know how to save max | 15:26 |
| Kilos | 4 hours is actually min you know | 15:28 |
| magespawn | for a working day | 15:29 |
| paddatrapper | That's running terminal (quite a few), ssh, firefox, kmail | 15:31 |
| Kilos | you use kmail? | 15:32 |
| Kilos | and it works? | 15:32 |
| Kilos | i gave up with it | 15:32 |
| Yenrabbit | Sup all :) | 15:35 |
| Yenrabbit | I played around with some battery saving stuff ages ago. The only problem is that I never bothered to see what works, so I have no idea which methods gave results :p | 15:35 |
| Kilos | paddatrapper cant you sneak a charger into some classes or are there no power plugs along the walls | 15:46 |
| paddatrapper | I usually do charge in between when I can, especially when I'm working in the library, but in actual lecture theatres there tend not to be plugs | 15:47 |
| Kilos | ai! | 15:47 |
| Kilos | only way then i think is to piggy back an extra battery | 15:48 |
| Kilos | that will give you 8 hours | 15:48 |
| Yenrabbit | There is an obvious solution - carry around a car battery and inverter! | 15:48 |
| Kilos | lol | 15:48 |
| theblazehen | Yenrabbit: Exactly what I was thinking | 15:48 |
| theblazehen | some laptops take 12V in I think :) | 15:48 |
| theblazehen | Pitty about the DRM in the chargers | 15:48 |
| Kilos | ya no inverter needed | 15:49 |
| Kilos | oh i see to run the charger | 15:49 |
| magespawn | if ypu can work out the correct voltage and supply that the there is not need for the charger | 15:52 |
| magespawn | s/not/no | 15:52 |
| magespawn | the two i am currently using take 19v @ 32.a | 15:53 |
| paddatrapper | Lol perfect! | 15:53 |
| magespawn | sorry 3.2A | 15:53 |
| Kilos | ai! | 15:53 |
| magespawn | and generally it would be a good idea to use a deep cycle battery rather than a normal car battery | 15:54 |
| theblazehen | magespawn: No, DRM :/ the charger and laptop often need to authenticate each other | 15:55 |
| magespawn | so put 2 -4 batteries in a special cart with an inverter and take every where, you could then fit solar panels to the top to charge the batteries | 15:56 |
| Kilos | rofl | 15:56 |
| Yenrabbit | Only on newer laptops. Also, the lecturers control panel has a few unused outlets. On balance, asking permission to use those might be easier than explaining your charging system to people... | 15:56 |
| magespawn | theblazehen: mine are all old, iswitch and play around with the chargers all the time | 15:57 |
| magespawn | with only the minor problem of lugging kgs of equipment everywhere | 15:58 |
| magespawn | theblazehen: i have not had a problem even with some of the newer lenovo laptops in company, with using aftermarket chargers | 15:59 |
| magespawn | on the slightly more practical side i did see some solar battery charges for laptops | 16:01 |
| magespawn | and portable batteries similar to the ones for cell phones | 16:02 |
| Kilos | is it not cheaper and easier to get a second laptop battery and swop when one dies | 16:03 |
| paddatrapper | Where's the fun in that? | 16:04 |
| Kilos | eeekk you want fun as well | 16:04 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 16:04 |
| theblazehen | https://media.blackhat.com/bh-us-11/Miller/BH_US_11_Miller_Battery_Firmware_Public_WP.pdf some more info | 16:07 |
| magespawn | thanks for that theblazehen | 16:53 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: That paper is actually quite interesting. Had never really thought about it before | 17:57 |
| pavlushka | Hello every one! | 18:03 |
