**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 16 03:00:52 2019 Sep 16 04:47:17 has anyone used libpebble2 in terminal to load apps, update time and connect with a pebble? Sep 16 08:07:56 xmn: Not me but I never had a Pebble. Sep 16 08:12:34 I was curious to know if I can use my USB flexible disc drive (3.5-inch, supports both DD and HD discs) with Android 8 on my LG G5. So far I have not had any success but I do not know if a special Linux driver needs to be loaded to use a USB flexible disc drive? Is a USB flexible disc drive just a normal USB Mass Storage device like a USB SSD or USB HDD? I guess the Linux “floppy” driver is only for drives using the oldskool IBM/Intel parallel Sep 16 08:12:34 interface? Sep 16 08:30:03 brolin_empey, thanks for commenting. And unfortunately I don't use android enough to share any knowledge. Sep 16 08:44:52 xmn: You are welcome. Sep 16 08:44:52 OK. Sep 16 08:44:52 I think a USB flexible disc drive is a normal USB Mass Storage device but I am not certain because I have only used this drive on Windows. Sep 16 09:37:40 does anyone have any experience about Xiaomi phones? Im thinking of buying Redmi Note 7 pro and installing LineageOs in it. Sep 16 09:43:15 Vajb: Most if not all models of Android smartphones from Xiaomi have a difficult to access and remove battery if I recall correctly. That means that I never bought one. Sep 16 09:49:10 yes, Im aware of that, but I don't consider it as a big problem. I have few devices without removable battery and they work well enough. And if I have to go to some sensitive place -> I just leave my phone home. Sep 16 09:52:04 Wait until the battery expands/bulges. Then you will have a problem if you cannot access the battery to remove it. Sep 16 09:55:10 well if it bulges enough it'll remove itself :) Sep 16 09:55:43 that actually happened to one mp3 player that I had Sep 16 09:56:53 brolin_empey: do you have some recommendation which has similiar specs than redmi note 7 pro and has removable battery? Sep 16 09:57:19 Im looking for best fit among price / performance Sep 16 09:58:18 that Xiaomi phone has 6gb of ram and Snapdragon 675 cpu Sep 16 10:02:18 there are very few new phones with removable battery Sep 16 10:02:59 sicelo: I recall you saying that you use LineageOs in phone? Sep 16 10:10:06 old phone ... Motorola Droid 4 Sep 16 10:10:27 and i used it on Samsung S4 before it fell and broke Sep 16 10:18:33 ah ok Sep 16 10:28:27 Also, if I recall correctly, when I looked at Xiaomi Android smartphones probably at least a year ago by now, most if not all of them had an AMLCD instead of an AMOLED display. I miss the AMOLED display of my Galaxy Note 3 since I switched to the LG G5 because I like what is supposed to be black to actually be black instead of grey. Sep 16 10:32:44 Vajb: I do not know that Xiaomi model off hand but do you like the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with high-resolution AMOLED display and easily accessible and removable battery? Galaxy Note 5 and later are not relevant to me because the battery being difficult to access and remove sucks. Sep 16 10:34:25 brolin_empey: I have only used Samsung galaxy tab 2 and Samsung galaxy A5. Sep 16 10:38:07 Vajb: I meant do the specifications of the Galaxy Note 4 seem satisfactory to you? I realise that the newest official OS is Android 6 but it can unofficially run up to at least Android 8 if I recall correctly. I only have a Galaxy Note 3 but my father has a Galaxy Note 4 but he still uses the stock/official Android 6 OS. Sep 16 10:43:49 ah, well I don't know the specs from memory, but will look at them thanks Sep 16 10:44:48 https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_4-6434.php Sep 16 10:45:10 nice, for such an old device .. of course it was flagship in its day Sep 16 10:47:29 The LG V20 looks nice too, still has an easily accessible and removable battery like the LG G5 but, like the LG G5, uses an AMLCD instead of AMOLED display if I recall correctly. Sep 16 10:48:54 I wish it had more ram, but otherwise nice device. Price range is good Sep 16 10:53:33 I have some old notebook computers (IBM ThinkPad 700 series, Apple MacBook with white plastic case, pre-unibody) that still have the original, easily removable battery that has not expanded but the computer will not power on if the battery is connected, which would be a problem if I could not easily remove the battery. Sep 16 10:54:03 Vajb: Do you mean the Galaxy Note 4? Or LG V20? Sep 16 10:57:18 the three of time side by side, https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6434&idPhone2=9513&idPhone3=8238#*,48mp,h990ds Sep 16 11:00:28 PHP 3 is ancient. I wonder if they are really still using PHP 3 in 2019 or if they are stuck with “.php3” in their URIs because their Web site was originally created by someone who did not know what they were doing. Sep 16 11:07:18 GSM is ancient too, is the original digital cellular network if I recall correctly. A Nokia 1011 from 1992 is a GSM telephone (even though it is already technically a computer) but a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or LG V20 is a user-programmable computer with a cellular modem that still supports GSM, not a telephone. Sep 16 12:20:51 it seems that galaxy note 5 is not supported by lineageos Sep 16 12:47:21 Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy Note 4? Sep 16 13:18:47 Galaxy Note 3 is supported by LineageOS. Sep 16 16:57:11 note5 Sep 16 18:27:45 sicelo: KotCzarny: How does your ThinkPad X40 like this image? ;-) Sep 16 18:27:45 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Aerial_view_of_Apple_Park_dllu.jpg Sep 16 19:46:20 brolin_empey: x40, 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM, https://paste.pics/d9853eadeb3d5a684d6c4cdee7864d73 Sep 16 19:48:34 it took a while to load ... i guess part of it is that i use a 1.8Mbps line .. that pic is huge. Sep 16 19:50:06 i guess one would hit the watchdog on n900 with this :) Sep 16 20:04:23 1.4-GHz Pentium M? Does the Pentium M go that high? Sep 16 20:06:16 yes, from /proc/cpuinfo => model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.40GHz Sep 16 20:10:14 Yes, Wikipedia says that the maximum CPU clock rate for the Pentium M is 900 MHz to 2.26 GHz. Sep 16 20:11:04 Maybe the Pentium M in the Dell Latitude X1 is only 1.1 GHz because the Latitude X1 is fanless? Sep 16 20:12:49 If I recall correctly, the ThinkPad X40 has a fan but the fan only runs when needed. Sep 16 20:18:21 yes. although it can be noisy at times, but not too often. i don't do any tweaks for it as it doesn't bother me too much. at some point i probably should open up the laptop, do thermal paste and remove years of dust in the interoir Sep 16 22:19:44 MyDocs are mounted as rw,...,rodir. What's the best way to fix this? Sep 16 22:20:07 Fsck.vfat -n says Free cluster summary wrong (22 vs. really 422) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 17 03:01:14 2019
