| Wikiwide | Could it be that with only 3M of RAM free, mediaplayer simply cannot play anything? | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Wikiwide | Yes, it can play this 21sec grey movie. Great job, but it's boring to look at, even knowing that somebody painted every part of "The Overcoat" manually, without computer animation. | 00:39 |
| Wikiwide | The two videos that I could play are QuickTime Cinepack cvid .mov files. | 00:41 |
| brolin_empey | sixwheeledbeast: 1 TB on a microSD card? | 04:41 |
| brolin_empey | I thought 256 GB is currently the largest storage capacity of commercially available microSD cards? | 04:42 |
| luke-jr | lol? | 05:51 |
| brolin_empey | luke-jr: ? | 07:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | brolin_empey: yes 1TB on uSD | 08:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | They have released a new standard last year for upto 128TB on uSD | 08:57 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Obviously they will take a while but the standard is there. | 08:59 |
| sixwheeledbeast | the 1 TB are around 750CAD BTW | 08:59 |
| Maxdamantus | (note though that the standard is fairly irrelevant as far as Maemo/N900 is concerned, since the requirement of devices is simply to handle the large cards, which Linux/Maemo already do) | 09:05 |
| Maxdamantus | (that is, Linux will already handle cards that are probably much larger than TBs) | 09:06 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I assume it would depend on the file system tho | 09:35 |
| brolin_empey | sixwheeledbeast: Wow, I bought a 1-TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD in 2018 August for approximately 250 CAD. The mSATA equivalent SSD was close to the same price if I recall correctly. If it matters, the drive I bought is a WDC WDS100T2B0A. | 09:36 |
| Maxdamantus | Sure, but SD cards are not limited to a particular filesystem. The fact that devices are "required" to use exFAT is also irrelevant to Maemo, since you can just put whatever filesystem happens to be supported by the actual device (fat32, ext4 should both support 1 TB on Maemo) | 09:37 |

| sixwheeledbeast | brolin_empey: they are about 210CAD for the same now. | 09:39 |
| brolin_empey | Does anyone use a single (V)FAT volume as large as 1 TB in practice? Is that feasible even if you can live with the small maximum file size for (V)FAT? | 09:41 |
| Maxdamantus | I'm sure there are plenty of people who do. | 09:43 |
| Maxdamantus | If you want a filesystem that can portably be used between macOS and Windows, I think the main options for normal users are vFAT and exFAT. | 09:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I don't see why not think most games consoles are FAT so if you want to back them up you need a large FAT partition. | 09:45 |
| Maxdamantus | and exFAT is obviously relatively new. | 09:45 |
| Maxdamantus | Personally, I just use ext4 on my Maemo's SD card. | 09:45 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Think I switched to ext4 with my two swap partitions on the end. | 09:46 |
| Maxdamantus | (I don't have any non-Linux machines, and I don't normally intend on mounting the filesystem outside the device anyway) | 09:46 |
| brolin_empey | In my experience, MS-DOS/FreeDOS seems more relevant in practice than Mac OS X. | 09:47 |
| Maxdamantus | Yeah, I also use swap on the SD card. | 09:47 |
| brolin_empey | And Mac OS <=9 too. | 09:48 |
| * brolin_empey still uses some software and hardware that predates Mac OS X. | 09:57 | |
