| viric | what do you think of this 'dumb phone'? http://www.babikenshop.com/two-way-radio-phone-walkie-talkie-intercom-phone-vefone-t900-p-797.html | 10:06 |
| viric | I always wanted a phone with cb radio | 10:09 |
| Action: wpwrak hates nspluginviewer. first time in ages i had a kernel crash. | 10:47 | |
| viric | what is nspluginviewer? | 11:27 |
| viric | are you blaming a user space program for a kernel crash ? :) | 11:28 |
| wpwrak | well, that flash junk does a lot of weird things. it may have some "dirty" paths that allow it to corrupt things it shouldn't be allowed to corrupt. | 11:33 |
| wpwrak | e.g., i sometimes get residual windows that just stick in the X11 frame buffer. but only from flash. nothing else has such problems. | 11:34 |
| viric | hm I never noticed those problems | 11:37 |
| LunaVorax | Hello everyone! | 13:16 |
| whitequark | wpwrak: I'm pretty sure that your problem isn't nspluginviewer itself, but 3D acceleration which flash uses | 13:35 |
| whitequark | iow, you have broken graphics drivers, which is more common than not | 13:35 |
| wpwrak | it's some chain that begins with flash, which is a useless annoyance to begin with | 13:41 |
| wpwrak | so i put the blame right at the origin :) | 13:41 |
| wpwrak | or, paraphrasing Linus, "fuck you flash, fuck you !" :) | 13:48 |
| kristianpaul | fish a book http://olpcsf.org/node/61 | 15:08 |
| kristianpaul | sorry no only books | 15:10 |
| viric | the sheevaplug is a very nice device still | 15:10 |
| viric | and there are the pixel qi people too... I still want such a nice screen :) | 15:11 |
| kristianpaul | well i was more interested on the script to fetch media from the archive.org more easilly | 15:11 |
| viric | :D | 15:12 |
| kristianpaul | the kindle screen is very interesting too, well whatever is e-ink | 15:12 |
| kristianpaul | shame kindle fire is no color e-ink ;) | 15:12 |
| viric | I think most discomfort for reading is not always the screen | 15:13 |
| kristianpaul | oh no, how you feel the book to | 15:14 |
| viric | I think that there should be more power to the users for choosing the layout, the types, etc. | 15:14 |
| kristianpaul | passing pages... bookmarking | 15:14 |
| viric | I dislike how the CSS on browsers has developed, into a system that makes the web *authors* decide how it will look like, instead of the *readers*. | 15:15 |
| viric | the whole html idea upside down :) | 15:15 |
| viric | We rarely see easy tools to tune the spacing, the types used, the thickness, the antialiasing technique, ... | 15:16 |
| viric | for the reader. | 15:16 |
| kristianpaul | ah good point | 15:17 |
| viric | colors... | 15:17 |
| viric | bg and fg | 15:17 |
| viric | that matters a lot for me, for a comfortable reading | 15:17 |
| viric | Some *authoring* tools have nice devices to set up all that, but with computer-like devices, that power should be given to the readers. | 15:18 |
| viric | For example, I dislike the so broad use of sans-serif types for texts. | 15:19 |
| kristianpaul | oh sure | 15:20 |
| viric | I quite like how I read in my rss reader. | 15:22 |
| viric | http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/cgi-bin/offrssdemo/vnavarro | 15:22 |
| viric | (for example) | 15:22 |
| viric | I'm often lucky, that few authors use style-overriding tags in their feeds :) | 15:22 |
| viric | then I can easily make their text look like what I want. | 15:23 |
| viric | but that's tuned for my usual screen, of course. | 15:23 |
| viric | (and browser, ...) | 15:23 |
| kristianpaul | you like banks a lot :) | 15:24 |
| viric | haha | 15:24 |
| kristianpaul | you read on wich kind of screen? | 15:25 |
| viric | that's for firefox in my laptop | 15:25 |
| kristianpaul | laptop,tablet, desktop, mobile? | 15:25 |
| viric | For my sony e-ink ereader, I use the 'Plan PDF' option above :) | 15:25 |
| viric | thank you for your link nevertheless! I like these issues about making reading comfortable | 15:27 |
| kristianpaul | :-) | 15:28 |
| viric | but I think there is a lot more field for blaming the software, than the hardware :) | 15:28 |
| viric | For example, I think that if the user can easily interact with the screen contents, that makes reading difficult ;) | 15:29 |
| kristianpaul | diffcult because you want to do more and more.. the got fustrated or the contrary.. | 15:32 |
| kristianpaul | s/the/then | 15:34 |
| Ayla | whitequark: hello | 19:07 |
| Ayla | does jz-boot support the jz4770? | 19:08 |
| whitequark | Ayla: nfc | 19:52 |
| whitequark | but probably it won't be hard to fix it if it does not | 19:52 |
| Ayla | ok, it does not :) | 19:52 |
| whitequark | you'll need to substitute the secondary bootloader for jz4770's | 19:54 |
| whitequark | and probably tweak the parameters block | 19:54 |
| Ayla | I mean it's not even recognized with the -e option | 19:55 |
| whitequark | Ayla: maybe USB vendor/device ids are wrong? | 20:08 |
| Ayla | whitequark: idVendor=a108, idProduct=4770 | 20:09 |
| Ayla | my dingoo has idVendor=601a | 20:10 |
| Ayla | ok, I patched it, let's see if it works... | 20:15 |
| Ayla | yep, it is detected | 20:16 |
| whitequark | cool | 20:19 |
| Ayla | where can I find the firmware? | 20:21 |
| larsc | you have to write it :p | 20:26 |
| Ayla | ouch. | 20:27 |
| Ayla | can't I use the firmware files provided by Ingenic? | 20:43 |
| larsc | maybe | 20:43 |
| Ayla | ... | 20:43 |
| larsc | there's only one way to find it out | 20:43 |
| Ayla | yeah | 20:44 |
| Ayla | ask whitequark :) | 20:44 |
| larsc | hehe | 20:44 |
| Ayla | I tried to boot with those files, but it didn't work; however that does not mean the files are wrong, as jzboot doesn't really support the jz4770 right now | 20:45 |
| whitequark | Ayla: for jz4740 we used the ingenic firmware | 21:13 |
| Ayla | I tried with the firmware files from ingenic, but it disconnects as soon as I type "boot" or try to set a GPIO | 21:14 |
| Ayla | ok, looks like I can load the second firmware | 22:41 |
| Ayla | that means the SRAM is correctly initialized | 22:41 |
| whitequark | nice | 22:44 |
