01:14.45WikiwideAnd now PDF reader is stuck. It has document X open, I click in File Manager for document Y to open, and PDF manager continues to display document X, not perturbed in the least.
01:16.25WikiwidePDF reader can go all-black for a while, so it does hear something from File Manager - it's not File Manager's fault.

01:19.12WikiwideAnd IRC is jumpy - on cellular Internet! At this rate, I will advocate for wooden buses with built-in Ethernet Internet - not that I know of any mobile phones with Ethernet built-in

01:53.06WikiwideAnd barcode readers don't read barcode from my phone's display. I have already done 200% or so zoom, set brightness to 5/5, the barcode occupies at least quarter of display - half of width and half of height...
01:53.51WikiwideThey are probably designed to work with AMOLED display, with super-transparent Gorilla/sapphire glass :-/
01:54.48WikiwideAt this rate, I would want to have a e-ink display for documents, barcodes and static images - low-power and I think that e-ink should be as readable as paper.
02:31.13Maxdamantusgot an e-ink device yesterday (Kobo)
02:31.22Maxdamantusdisplay seems quite nice.
02:32.13Maxdamantuswants to see if he can get a usable terminal running on it at some point.

08:03.56KotCzarnymaxd: what soc?
08:04.25KotCzarnyas for terminal, you would have your own app, so refreshes wont drive it dead ;)
08:04.33KotCzarny*write your own app

08:21.43MaxdamantusDo modern e-ink displays have lifetime issues?
08:22.09MaxdamantusI imagine the main reason for having to write some special screen update mechanism is just to avoid ghosting.
08:23.25Maxdamantusas for continuous updates, I've noticed the included web browser supports canvas .. was able to run http://maxdamantus.github.io/recplay/ on it.
08:23.26KotCzarnythey are physical medium
08:23.47MaxdamantusSo is everything.
08:23.50KotCzarnyso i would assume they do, although it was more about refresh rate
08:23.51Maxdamantusincluding LCD.
08:23.55KotCzarnyimagine running dmesg on it
08:23.57KotCzarny;)

13:57.59DocScrutinizer05KotCzarny: on what? e-ink? X-D
13:59.03DocScrutinizer05there's even 2-color e-ink paper now. Black&red. I guess other colors exist as well
14:00.24DocScrutinizer05the "A4" size display allegedly (according to the fuzzy dadashit) takes up to 40 seconds for one full erase&scan
14:01.26DocScrutinizer05yep, forty. aka 2/3 of a minute

15:40.01KotCzarnywell, 16 level grayscale 1024x768 takes ~1s for full update
15:40.08KotCzarnywith reset
15:41.01KotCzarnyand color eink is just color filter applied on particular subpixels
15:41.46KotCzarnyso color is tripling horizontal resolution in terms of pixels to refresh

22:31.37MaxdamantusI don't think the resolution is going to have an effect on how long it takes to update.
22:32.08Maxdamantusunless something about the pixel density makes low-latency refreshes harder.
22:33.42MaxdamantusI would expect a terminal to update fairly quickly (resulting in ghosting) if it knows that it's scrolling through many lines of text, and when it stops scrolling, it should do a full redraw.
22:34.07Maxdamantusbut I don't think a full redraw takes 1s on my kobo.
22:34.41Maxdamantusiirc takes probably less than 0.5s, but don't want to test that atm since I'm trying to get Xorg working
22:39.53Maxdamantusbtw, rationale for resolution not having an effect on how long it takes to update: two e-ink devices should update in the same amount of time as one e-ink device, and two e-ink devices obviously have twice the number of pixels as one e-ink device.
22:40.47Maxdamantusso if more resolution means more time, you've just got some vertical scaling issue (eg, need more CPU power), not some issue inherent to e-ink technology.
