| 07:13.46 | cmpxchg | wonder if there will ever be a new phone-platform that provides FM-radio and infrared, on a self-hosting linux system |
| 07:18.02 | sixwheeledbeast | IR transceiver on this keyboard plate would be nice, in fact if they just commited to getting as close to N900 features on the this keyboard I could see it being relatively popular option. |
| 07:25.52 | cmpxchg | 'this keyboard' ? |

| 08:23.15 | luke-jr | do people still use FM and IR? |
| 08:23.32 | luke-jr | I mean, I never did even when I used N900 |
| 08:28.30 | KotCzarny | fm is nice in a car when you dont have cable or bt |
| 08:28.46 | KotCzarny | or to jam radio in public transport, hue hue |
| 08:30.39 | luke-jr | lol |
| 08:31.24 | luke-jr | IIRC I just used a casette-tape 3.5mm adapter to save battery |
| 08:31.47 | KotCzarny | see the 'forgotten cable' part |
| 08:31.59 | KotCzarny | unless you always carry one with you |
| 08:32.00 | KotCzarny | :) |

| 11:21.03 | cmpxchg | infrared is nice to control TV and lighting remotes |
| 11:21.49 | cmpxchg | or to exchange businesscards with very specific other IR users |
| 11:22.09 | cmpxchg | 'special IR hanshake' :) |
| 11:23.54 | Maxdamantus | I have used IR occasionally to control a flatmate's TV which doesn't have a remote. |
| 11:26.10 | Maxdamantus | and I think my own TV/monitor when I've realised my remote's batteries are flat (I only use the remote rarely since I normally use it as a computer monitor, but will sometimes switch to component to use it as a PS2 display) |
| 12:19.15 | sixwheeledbeast | I use the IR and FM |
| 12:20.49 | sixwheeledbeast | FM in friends cars to listen to music and IR for random TV's. Ever been into a TV showroom and switched all the TV's off... :whistle: |
| 12:21.47 | sixwheeledbeast | In pierogi i have a macro for setting my tv to a mode too |

| 15:22.46 | sunshavi | I have never used infrared. Could I open my garage door?. Is it python|C? |
| 15:24.21 | sunshavi | I used infraded with Palm on the past. But It was an app. like a remote control (And You neeed to be very near to the tv, less than a meter) |
| 15:26.27 | sicelo | n900 IR cannot exchange business cards since it's uni-directional |
| 15:26.30 | bencoh | infrared on n900 can come in handy once in a while |
| 15:26.47 | bencoh | (although I even forgot about it tbh) |
| 15:27.04 | sicelo | i also have used it for some time are a remote :) |
| 15:27.36 | bencoh | sunshavi: you can have a look at pierogi if you want an example |
| 15:27.51 | bencoh | there is another popular application, but I forgot its name |
| 15:38.41 | cmpxchg | sunshavi: infrared is typically a UART-like signal from a software point of view |
| 15:38.59 | cmpxchg | there once was a IR mode of the wifi spec, but that has long been abandonned |
| 15:40.46 | cmpxchg | RC-5 is used for remotes, and not really standard UART https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC-5 |
| 15:44.08 | sunshavi | bencoh: cmpxchg: thanks |

| 20:30.14 | sunshavi | pierogi worked with my ISDTB deco. :) |
| 20:57.11 | sixwheeledbeast | pierogi is coded more from the UX whereas LIRC types are more open to whatever you want |
| 20:57.39 | sixwheeledbeast | If it's not in Pierogi you would have to see if the devs still about or add it yourself. |

| 21:21.49 | sixwheeledbeast | generally about the apps and the protocols |
| 21:25.23 | sunshavi | well my SBC has /dev/lirc0. so probably I could play a little bit with it |

| 21:39.25 | sicelo | pierogi wasn't exactly using the LIRC backend/protocol |
| 21:44.00 | sicelo | might be easier to adapt the other applications instead, i suppose. not saying pierogi won't work :) |

| 22:32.05 | sixwheeledbeast | indeed thats my point, everything was hardcoded but layout was better from a UX POV |

| 22:50.01 | untakenstupidnic | what are some slightly powerful but cheap phones which could do linux stuff? Nokia 8110 4G is powerful enough but there doesn't seem to be much hacking community around its OS. |
| 22:55.12 | sicelo | 8110? 0.o |
| 22:56.15 | ashley | you sure? from what I've seen there's a decent hacking community around the 8110 (not necessarily its OS though, but that particular phone has generated quite a bit of interest) |
| 22:56.22 | untakenstupidnic | the KaiOS phone |
| 22:56.28 | sicelo | i know this is getting you out of Maemo, but you might want to perhaps choose from whatever phone is in the 'Community' section of https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices |
| 22:57.21 | sicelo | yes i know about 8110 4G ... I just ... am not sure it's that useful. just my own 2 cents |
| 22:57.25 | untakenstupidnic | i thought its the n900 of new generation when i saw its page but the website for GerdaOS is offline, also they barely have a terminal emulator |
| 22:58.21 | untakenstupidnic | not even an irc channel |
| 22:58.54 | sicelo | they have irc channel (which i'm in) |
| 22:59.13 | untakenstupidnic | what is it? #kaios is empty |
| 22:59.32 | sicelo | but seriously, for linux, look at pinephone, droid4, or those other devices. i'm sure that A3/A5 exists in your market |
| 23:00.07 | sicelo | if you're interested, you could even port Maemo leste to the A3/A5 .. shouldn't be hard |
