00:31.39psycho_oreosthere's probably a few good reasons why you wouldn't want to be walking around in the public with N950 anyway :)

01:20.38DocScrutinizerpsycho_oreos: well, it was fun to have the N950 with me at chaos camp
01:22.10DocScrutinizertriggered all kinds of unusual behaviour, and earned me some drinks
01:22.19psycho_oreosDocScrutinizer, heh I don't mean that it isn't fun to carry your N950 around, I meant in the more of the general context as in using your N950 everyday such as commuting to and from work, going to various places with it every day every week
01:22.29psycho_oreosit carries a bit of risk though
01:22.54DocScrutinizerhmm, yeah

01:24.06psycho_oreosI'm sure any happy N950 owner in the first few days would be a little paranoid but then would ease up and may want to flirt around with a rare toy, but really that's kinda like holding a lollipop and wondering around waiting for it to catch more attention
01:24.54DocScrutinizeresp when taking into account the equation sb did here some monzhs ago which was like $NOKIA_R&D_FOR_MAEMO/MEEGO  / $NUMBER_OF_N950_IN_THE_WILD = 3.6 mio USD per device
01:25.14doc|homewoah
01:25.29doc|homethen they put a bullet in the head of the entire thing :/
01:25.46psycho_oreosyou can thank Elop for all that
01:26.09doc|homeI'll be anti-thanking him by not buying another nokia, does that count? :)
01:26.38psycho_oreosfirst it was a very nice ad of N950, then it becomes unavailable and whilst its unavailable the specs are crippled. Then it becomes developer only device
01:26.58psycho_oreospartially imo ;) I'd also tell people to avoid nokia after N9
01:27.21psycho_oreosremember the simple analogy to businesses that one bad customer brings 10 bad customers
01:27.52psycho_oreosthat'll be sure to cut some wounds into them
01:28.06doc|homeI wouldn't even bother with the n9. It's a really nice looking phone, but still-born if the platform's going nowhere :/
01:28.44DocScrutinizeraegis made it not even breathe at birth
01:29.00psycho_oreosI'll admit that N9 is a still-born platform but with maemo's premature death there aren't many alternatives apart from one switching across to a completely different platform
01:29.22DocScrutinizerstick with maemo
01:29.36psycho_oreosI mean what else can one look at? android? moblin? bada? etc?
01:29.47psycho_oreosmaemo won't last around forever :)
01:30.30DocScrutinizerhttp://www.rasterman.com/index.php?page=News
01:30.30doc|homemoblin was merged into meego, meego's now dead. Bada's way off from being a competitor. So I'm keeping an eye on android :/
01:30.41DocScrutinizerFeb. 11
01:31.46psycho_oreosoh yeah I forgot about tizen and openmoko too
01:31.47doc|homeDocScrutinizer: it's now oct, and noticeable advancement since then?
01:31.54doc|homeopenmoko's dead
01:32.26psycho_oreosits still in the wraps with that samsung linux.. I won't hold hopes over vapourware imo.. but N9 is an end product, meaning that its not a vapourware.. its already out
01:32.35DocScrutinizerI never planned to get any new phone/OS during the next ~5 years, so I'm sticking with maemo and for lack of new hw with N900, and with CSSU. And I'll keep an eye on what raster eventually might come up with
01:32.36psycho_oreosopenmoko is dead manufacturer wise :)
01:32.40doc|homes/and noticeable/any noticeable
01:33.08doc|homepsycho_oreos: you're trying to say it was strong in software? :)
01:33.28DocScrutinizertizen is BS, OM is dead
01:34.05doc|homebada could be interesting, but until it's actually a competitor with a top tier phone I'm meh about it. No interest in dumb phones.
01:34.06psycho_oreosdoc|home, I'm saying that it still probably is strong in software and some minor closed group hardware developments. Though however its unfortunate that openmoko is mostly dead otherwise
01:34.18doc|homepsycho_oreos: it was never really strong in software
01:34.28DocScrutinizerOM-the-community/SHR might come up with semi-mature "anti-vendor-ports" for a fistful of devices
01:35.02DocScrutinizerbada is BS, even more than sybian or tizen
01:35.23doc|homedepends on how bent out of shape motorgoogle gets samsung
01:35.39psycho_oreosdoc|home, hey well I don't know what openmoko is really like but I'm sure its probably as highly configurable (more than maemo) right? and maybe a lot better hardware access compared to android platform
01:36.34psycho_oreosspeaking of which someone linked a mailing list of alternatives to booting up dalvik vm with android devices
01:36.57DocScrutinizeropenmoko doesn't sell any hw
01:36.58doc|homepsycho_oreos: I have a freerunner doing paperweight duties on my desk. I tried to like/use it but it just wasn't reliable enough to be usable. In the end I switched phone company who had hspa as soon as the n900 came out and that was the end of that
01:37.04psycho_oreosthe stuff is in alpha stage

01:38.01DocScrutinizerpsycho_oreos: what exactly are you talking about? and do you really know?
01:39.16psycho_oreosnot sure if openmoko did sell it but I do remember they organised group purchases for freerunner.
01:39.16psycho_oreosDocScrutinizer, which the dalvik vm alternative or openmoko stuff?
01:39.58DocScrutinizerthere's goldelico startting to sell gta04 in a Openmoko case, that's however not anything gaining traction of any degree, any time
01:40.42DocScrutinizerpsycho_oreos: ENOPARSE
01:41.14psycho_oreosError[1]: `enoparse' is not defined
01:41.19psycho_oreos:)
01:46.29HyperSnyperanyone use psx emulators, and do any decent games work without overclocking ?
01:49.35DocScrutinizerhas a strange daydream - porting fremantle to N9. What's missing? bme: available by HARM. GFX-accel: same. Boot: check. OK N9 has no kbd :-(

03:03.00Macerwon a brand new n900  for $255
03:03.24Macerafter losing bids from the same   seller 9 times
03:04.07psycho_oreoshe was probably happy that he was able to recoup around half the money he spent on the thing
03:04.37psycho_oreosat least he probably achieved his minimum price mark anyway
