| 12:17.53 | Hurrian | @concept - i have flashed my N900 on all 3 platforms successfully |
| 12:18.01 | Hurrian | they do suck though, i'll give you that |
| 12:18.14 | Hurrian | on linux, they work like shit on an x86-64 distro |
| 12:18.17 | concept | 710flasher is a ppc app |
| 12:18.29 | concept | yeah, I was getting to that |
| 12:18.46 | Hurrian | on windows, rd flagging apparently does jack |
| 12:19.41 | concept | flasher-3.5 for linux is a 32bit bin linked to 32bit libraries, and when run on a 32bit system gives me a "No such file or directory" error while attempting to claim the USB interface (from within a VM) |
| 12:21.00 | concept | I'm really running out of options now, the next thing I'm gonna try is to boot a gentoo livecd on my mac with a flash drive connected with all the necessary files and hope that it works that way |
| 12:21.14 | Hurrian | usb forwarding is crap on all platforms, sure as f*** wouldn't trust that to flash my stuff |
| 12:21.30 | Hurrian | and btw, i prefer using macflasher to flash my N900 |
| 12:21.38 | psycho_oreos | It only flashes emmc when you flash it with emmc image, and I don't understand what you meant by restore functionality, there are none. It just wipes it clean back to how it was from manufacturer |
| 12:22.12 | Hurrian | osx - no need to worry about 32 or 64 bit atm, can set rd flags, no need to worry about drivers because libusb handles it nicely |
| 12:22.29 | concept | psycho_oreos: well, all my files were still there after flashing with nokia updater on windows; also, how do you specify an emmc images with that? |
| 12:22.47 | concept | Hurrian: macflasher gives me a timeout error |
| 12:23.43 | Hurrian | anyways, the concept of a desktop side flasher that does nothing but send images to nolo is a joke |
| 12:23.54 | Hurrian | you seriously DO NOT need that |
| 12:23.59 | psycho_oreos | concept, I don't use nokia updater with windows, in fact I don't run windows on any of my machines. Therefore I never really ran into that issue, I find it a little funny those with windows and using it to communicate with a linux device |
| 12:24.26 | Hurrian | nokia could've taken the thing that routers use to take images over tftp and embed that into a mini-phonet in nolo |
| 12:24.36 | concept | Error claiming USB interface: Operation timed out |
| 12:24.44 | concept | I get a lot of this from MacFlasher |
| 12:24.56 | Hurrian | it needs sudo |
| 12:25.16 | concept | which I used |
| 12:25.16 | Hurrian | oh and that |
| 12:25.36 | Hurrian | nokia, y u need root access for a damn flasher |
| 12:26.22 | psycho_oreos | imo that has nothing to do with nokia, not that I'm defending them, but under linux, one cannot access to raw sockets for some reason or even raw devices |
| 12:28.04 | concept | http://pastebin.com/XEGjVy05 |
| 12:28.13 | concept | that is what I get from macflasher |
| 12:28.56 | Hurrian | http://www.libusb.org/wiki/FAQ |
| 12:29.14 | concept | it is currently sitting on my desk with the backlight turned off, the nokia logo, and the USB icon in the top-right corner |
| 12:29.55 | concept | I did not have to install anything for macflasher, other than the package itself |
| 12:30.29 | Hurrian | @concept, you need to use the N900 flasher |
| 12:30.33 | Sicelo | hmm, that says harmattan |
| 12:30.40 | concept | I've tried that too |
| 12:30.56 | Hurrian | output pl0x |

| 12:33.21 | LinuxCode | although they probably hard coded that in |
| 12:34.11 | psycho_oreos | concept, I assumed you tried either: maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.dmg or maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_ppc.dmg? I don't know which mac (let alone year model) you have |
| 12:34.37 | concept | psycho_oreos: the former, yes, it doesn't even install a binary |
| 12:34.45 | concept | although it does install a manpage |
| 12:35.14 | concept | so I kinda have a flasher-3.5 manpage without the accompanying flasher-3.5 binary installed |
| 12:36.18 | psycho_oreos | concept, are you able to query the package for its contents? I know under debian (or other linux distributions having capability to read deb files) that you can query the package for its contents, both installed and the package itself |
| 12:36.26 | concept | I did eventually find the flasher-3.5 binary somewhere ysterday in a temporary directory, ran it, and it required libusb installed, so I compiled that, ran it again, and it gave me the exact same timeout error that I pasted from flasher 3.12 earlier |
| 12:36.44 | concept | psycho_oreos: yes |
| 12:37.51 | psycho_oreos | concept, ideally you shouldn't have used flasher 3.12. That's noted to only work with harmattan devices (notabley N950/n9) |

| 13:23.53 | psycho_oreos | yeah it basically requires a skin or somewhat a conductive pointer to be able to register a `keystroke' on the capacitative touchscreen |
| 13:25.20 | psycho_oreos | and I'm not too particularly fond of iphones either, the way they force new owners to use itunes to activate the product and all the usual conspiracies surrounding `phoneback' |
| 13:28.37 | concept | they don't, anymore |
| 13:29.09 | concept | itunes is almost (possibly completely) optional now |
| 13:29.18 | concept | since ios 5 |
| 13:30.35 | concept | the only thing you need it for with ios 5 is to sync with content on your computer |
| 13:30.57 | psycho_oreos | also frowns the idea that it lacks a qwerty keyboard. Though ironically n9 is the same, it gives the developer of whatever `app' they choose to create whether to even implement simple functionalities like copy or paste. If they don't incorporate or they won't incorporate it, the end users will be the ones getting the short end of stick |
| 13:33.12 | psycho_oreos | in fact for n9 when it comes to searching for music, I simply can't type in the letters to search up the music without the keyboard. I must scroll all the way up to force the search functionality to show up. If I hit the wrong area I end up playing my entire collection in shuffled order |
| 13:35.18 | psycho_oreos | oh and the way Apple treats linux users.. the last I recall when linux users wanted itunes equivalent for linux.. Apple snubbed the linux community by saying that they should run the windows version, which forces linux users to run it through wine |

| 13:55.54 | psycho_oreos | the underlying software fundamentals were already there for awhile, Apple just rearranged things to make it all appear to work out in favour of the user |
| 13:55.58 | concept | I'm not saying any of this is revolutionary, it is just the product of an integration, an integration that other ecosystems lack |
| 13:56.46 | concept | and thanks to that integration, reminders are now a fundamental part of my life |
| 13:57.16 | psycho_oreos | unarguably that is true however Apple is quite anal about others featuring similar functionalities, which to me is wrong attitude |
| 13:57.29 | concept | the apple ecosystem is full of little details like this |
| 14:00.23 | psycho_oreos | what is that supposed to mean? I mean stuff like where Apple sued Samsung for mimicking their iPad range and then the recent case against Proview |
| 14:01.25 | concept | psycho_oreos: I can understand that too |
| 14:01.52 | concept | if you focus into the big picture rather than the details (i.e.: it doesn't matter whom apple is suing and what for, but why) |
| 14:02.21 | concept | it is a fact that before the iphone, no other commercially successful phone looked anything like it |
| 14:02.54 | concept | apple accepted the risk and launched a completely different product that captured the attention of people |
| 14:03.21 | concept | then came other brands and attempted to mimic that product, after knowing that the formula was actually successful but without ever risking anything |
| 14:03.56 | concept | it is thus comprehensible that apple would be annoyed by such behavior, hence jobs' "go nuclear on android" quote |
| 14:04.29 | psycho_oreos | concept, all I can see is greed. iPod isn't revolutionary, the idea of hard disk based music players was first (iinm) originated by creative, notably their zen jukebox. Though at the time it was seen as rather bulky and ugly, so it never really sold well.. The idea of a tablet was never founded by Apple, it apparently came from a sci-fi movie and half the electronics manufacturers are making tablets just because ipad came around. Instead of Apple s |
| 14:04.29 | psycho_oreos | uing each and every other companies, they sued 1) their own CPU/RAM manufacturer, Samsung and 2) Proview simply because they utilise the words iPad internally in China |
| 14:05.05 | concept | in 2010 the ipad was launched in similar conditions to the iphone, to a market where nothing successful (if we can even talk of success in the tablet market before the ipad) |
| 14:05.25 | concept | and other brands, once again, tried to mimic the ipad |
| 14:06.08 | psycho_oreos | yeah but that's not the point, in the case of Apple vs Samsung over galaxy tab vs iPad was the fact that Apple claimed they whole idea of tablet PC was theirs |
| 14:06.16 | concept | psycho_oreos: it has nothing to do with greed actually, it has more to do with perception; jobs' apple was not about money (in his own words, they had plenty, which they indeed do) |
| 14:06.46 | Gadgetoid_mbp | psycho_oreos: I think it had a little to do with how profoundly similar looking the entire Tab product line was to that of the iPad |
| 14:06.47 | psycho_oreos | concept, no it is greed. Why would they be suing otherwise? jealousy? too much ego and power? |
| 14:06.53 | concept | apple never aggressively sought market share (as shown by the fact that they've never tried to offer low-end products) |
| 14:07.14 | Gadgetoid_mbp | Samsung copied Apple accessory for accessory |
| 14:08.36 | psycho_oreos | Gadgetoid, again still besides my point, search up on the case about how Apple claimed it idealised the whole tablet idea. That's the wrong sort of quotation to make |
| 14:09.29 | psycho_oreos | concept, never aggressively sought market share.. as if they didn't |
| 14:09.38 | Gadgetoid_mbp | I don't think anyone was under any illusion that tablets simply didn't exist before the iPad, but it was fairly well established that they sucked balls |
| 14:09.46 | concept | they didn't, and they don't |
| 14:10.45 | Gadgetoid_mbp | Can't find any quotes supporting your belief that Apple claim to have invented the tablet, though |
| 14:11.01 | psycho_oreos | Gadgetoid_mbp, well they may have sucked balls, but that still doesn't make the point that Apple was trying to claim the idea of tablet based pc as completely their own. This was what they claim against samsung in the case of galaxy tab |
| 14:11.10 | concept | they are in the business of selling you high-end products that work very well together but are not necessarily dysfunctional on other platforms |
| 14:11.18 | jacekowski | Gadgetoid_mbp: they claim that they invented specific design of it |
| 14:11.45 | jacekowski | Gadgetoid_mbp: which is what whole apple vs samsung thing was about |
| 14:12.29 | psycho_oreos | concept, wikipedia notes that pretty well, though Apple doesn't have as much hatred for being anti-competitive (like microsoft) though it did create a whole lot of hatred for the way it treats other players in the community |

| 14:19.15 | Robot101 | they had their own voip extension |

| 14:26.58 | Gadgetoid_mbp | psycho_oreos: You forgot the holy font, don't forget the holy font. Samsung don't have a holy font, and therefore all their device are sinful and against Steve |

Apple relied on Samsung for their CPU and RAM and now they're suing their own manufacturer, quite ironic how one would think that Apple is not trying to dominate the market and not being greedy |
| 14:28.52 | Gadgetoid_mbp | psycho_oreos: the article you linked to is flawed, in that it lists all the alternatives that Apple gave Samsung and suggest that they are a list of everything Samsung should have done, rather than discrete suggestions for design variation |

| 14:31.57 | jacekowski | psycho_oreos: thing is, apple is quite a big customer for samsugn |
| 14:32.00 | Gadgetoid_mbp | psycho_oreos: No, I pointed out that I couldn't find any statements about Apple claiming they were the inventor of the tablet PC |
| 14:32.14 | jacekowski | psycho_oreos: and even if apple sues samsung, they can't just say that they won't sell them more CPUs |
| 14:32.27 | Gadgetoid_mbp | Which is why I said: "Can't find any quotes supporting your belief that Apple claim to have invented the tablet, though" |
| 14:33.06 | Gadgetoid_mbp | The Tablet PC was invented by Steve Jobs when he travelled back in time to 1066 to watch the Battle of Hastings, anyway |
| 14:33.10 | psycho_oreos | Gadgetoid_mbp, and then I said that it was in the lawsuit no? what was that abc link for then? |
| 14:33.22 | Gadgetoid_mbp | He sat there, watching the bloodlust and thought: "If only I had an absurdly huge camera to film this" |
| 14:33.40 | Gadgetoid_mbp | And so it is told in the holy book of Steve |
| 14:33.57 | psycho_oreos | jacekowski, somewhat I wished that was moreso the case, even if Apple is their big customer.. but then again |
| 14:34.25 | jacekowski | psycho_oreos: it's big business that most of us don't exactly understand |

| 14:36.51 | psycho_oreos | jacekowski, well yeah lots of the details are really behind the doors deals that obviously keeps companies afloat. Though I'm sure Apple would now probably look for some other CPU/RAM manufacturer to replace whatever they used from Samsung just because of this case.. like historically what Apple typically likes to do, change their manufacturers completely on their own will |
| 14:37.30 | jacekowski | well, maybe not, maybe samsung is stuck with them for next 10 years |
| 14:39.42 | psycho_oreos | though Apple may only use Samsung's components on maybe products other than iPad/iPhone *shrugs*, a way to try and somehow minimalise Samsung's earnings through certain loopholes in agreements. Who knows |

| 16:08.02 | RST38h | chem|st: actually, google already has all your data. It is not google you have to worry about. |
| 16:08.13 | concept | RST38h: how do those stylii work? |
| 16:08.18 | javispedro | the n900 was "insensitive" on the corners, but the note seems like it is just imprecise |
| 16:08.39 | RST38h | concept: a coil in the stylus |
| 16:08.43 | chem|st | well, it does not have my addressbook, at least not those not on f*c*book |
| 16:08.54 | concept | I've seen one of HP's laptops with a capacitive screen and a very strange pointy stylus that works on it and can even detect when it's touching and not touching the screen |
| 16:09.14 | RST38h | javispedro: Have I told you of a funny test we did at the AT&T store with a friend? |
| 16:09.22 | javispedro | isn't that the definition of a stylus? |
| 16:09.39 | javispedro | RST38h, I think not |
| 16:09.59 | RST38h | javispedro: ANyway, AT&T had a bunch of Android phones there, and a few WP7 phones (2) |
| 16:10.00 | concept | javispedro: I suppose so, but traditionally, capacitive stylii have thick round edges |
| 16:10.08 | javispedro | concept, that's because capacitive sucks |
| 16:10.13 | chem|st | javispedro: he means the pointer is moving even without touch |
| 16:10.19 | RST38h | javispedro: the task was to take the phone into your right hand,call up the address book, and type in a name |
| 16:10.28 | RST38h | javispedro: as if searching for it |
| 16:10.35 | chem|st | inductive stuff... |
| 16:10.50 | javispedro | chem|st, I have one such capacitive+wacom lenovo tablet right here. |
| 16:10.55 | javispedro | chem|st, it's the one I'm using fwiw. |
| 16:10.59 | RST38h | javispedro: Samsung phones absolutely positively sucked at it, just could not get the keypresses right |
| 16:11.12 | concept | chem|st: so it's an inductive / capacitive screen working at the same time? |
| 16:11.20 | RST38h | javispedro: Including GalaxyII, which was a bit better due to its larger screen but still sucked |
| 16:11.38 | RST38h | javispedro: HTC was better. HTC's WP7 phone was better still. |

| 16:15.06 | javispedro | RST38h, hah |
| 16:15.25 | javispedro | RST38h, I do think that the WP7 vkb looks an improvement over samsung's stock one |
| 16:15.35 | javispedro | (which was not android's at least on the note) |
| 16:16.22 | javispedro | samsung is too much interested in looks and flashy stuff, I got a flashy animation telling me some gesture to do with the pen while pressing a button on the device |
| 16:16.29 | javispedro | I was not able to do the gesture properly |
| 16:16.33 | javispedro | but I did embarrass myself |
| 16:17.04 | javispedro | someone didn't check on the ergonomics |
| 16:17.45 | javispedro | (though I admit that with some practice I could get the handle out of it, and I do miss the stylus enough to forgive certain quirks) |
| 16:19.00 | RST38h | javispedro: we tried both samsung and vanilla android keyboards,, and swype |
| 16:19.36 | RST38h | javispedro: swype got discarded first, it could not understand non-english names |
| 16:19.49 | RST38h | javispedro: samsung's vkbd was marginally better than android's own |
| 16:20.20 | RST38h | my guess is though, that the 5"+ Note won't have this vkbd problem - huge keys |
| 16:23.09 | javispedro | well, not that huge :) |

| 16:27.28 | javispedro | also, both wacom and capacitive are just too sensitive |
| 16:27.44 | RST38h | yeah |
| 16:27.47 | RST38h | same here |
| 16:28.14 | RST38h | but I am getting used to n950/n9 screen, too used in fact. feels too natural to swipe etc |
| 16:28.34 | javispedro | not arguing. going back to n900 does require retraining. |
| 16:28.34 | RST38h | even although it tends to malfunction with dry fingers |
| 16:28.52 | RST38h | often tries swiping N900 now |
| 16:29.18 | javispedro | but this very morning I had the usual screen fails to respond because it was grounded somewhere |
| 16:29.46 | javispedro | you have to pick up the n950 or otherwise you can't even double-tap wake it |
| 16:31.07 | MohammadAG | I installed a swipe tweak on the iPhone so I don't make mistakes anymore :p |
| 16:31.20 | RST38h | hehe, put it on plastic =) |
| 16:33.05 | concept | it is likely to sense your fingers through plastic as well as thinner fabric |
| 16:33.45 | javispedro | depends on the weather |
| 16:33.50 | javispedro | that's capacitive for you! |

| 16:35.47 | RST38h | not easily |
| 16:35.51 | javispedro | the problem is that sensitivity decreases |
| 16:35.54 | javispedro | (wen using glass I mean) |
| 16:36.20 | RST38h | piezo stuff requires crystal lattices (right word?) in just the right orientation |

| 16:47.55 | javispedro | so far, I am happy with it except for the screen |
| 16:48.17 | concept | a year ago I would kill for an IPS screen |
| 16:48.50 | concept | then I was assigned an MBP at work |
| 16:48.53 | MohammadAG | <javispedro> (color saturation depends on ambient temperature) |
| 16:48.57 | MohammadAG | isn't the N950 like that? |
| 16:49.02 | MohammadAG | the colour shifts on mine sometimes |
| 16:49.08 | MohammadAG | like it's warmer |
| 16:49.09 | concept | never thought a TN could perform so well |
| 16:49.37 | javispedro | concept, you probably still have to kill, considering apple doesn't carry any IPS model |
| 16:50.09 | concept | yeah, but apparently, TN screens can be good enough for my laptop needs |
| 16:50.30 | concept | it's just that I had never experienced them as well done as they are on the MBP |
| 16:50.34 | javispedro | MohammadAG, more exaggerated here, when this thing boots after being in the cool, the windows logo is very noticeable oversaturated |
| 16:50.39 | javispedro | I should take a picture someday |
| 16:50.51 | RST38h | javispedro: Steve Jobs is already dead, so whom does he have to kill? |
| 16:50.58 | concept | I would, however, never accept a TN screen on a desktop |
| 16:51.09 | javispedro | MohammadAG, but btw, I have sometimes pondered if the N950 had a IPS screen, because there are many similiraties with those IPS screens I have seen |
| 16:51.21 | MohammadAG | javispedro, it's a bit clear to me |
| 16:51.28 | MohammadAG | usually it happens after a reboot |
| 16:51.31 | javispedro | for ex both the N950 and the HP TouchPad have a "cross" pattern that repeats every 16 pixels or so |
| 16:51.37 | MohammadAG | even if it was on like a minute ago |
| 16:51.46 | javispedro | and both exhibit indeed some changes in color |
| 16:52.03 | MohammadAG | the scrolling thing turning the screen green is something else too |
| 16:52.56 | javispedro | RST38h, whoever rules the cult these days |
| 16:53.18 | concept | RST38h: screen types are usually easy to tell just by looking at the screen from different angles; however when I tried an MBP for the first time I could honestly not tell that it was TN; it LOOKED like TN because the content would darken if looked from below, but every other aspect of TN (low color accuracy, view angle issues, etc.) was not there |

| 22:53.21 | DocScrutinizer | sure |
