| Wikiwide | Tired. Nokia N900 has been bullied by our 8yo brother for a very long time. "Get an Android", "It's not a smartphone", "It cannot send SMS", "Nokia N900 is a dumb dumb", "Nokias aren't interesting", and so on. | 21:36 |
|---|---|---|
| KotCzarny | kids will bully over stupidest things | 21:37 |
| KotCzarny | nothing new | 21:37 |
| Wikiwide | Today morning, I have returned home from beach walk to find Nokia N900 with battery taken out. Wonder how damaged the file system may be?.. | 21:37 |
| Wikiwide | When questioned, he said "It wouldn't stop beeping". Considering that it was and is Silent, the only sound could have been 7 o'clock alarm. | 21:38 |
| KotCzarny | or ghosts | 21:38 |
| Wikiwide | What did he do, confuse Snooze and Stop? | 21:39 |
| Wikiwide | School should have taught him reading long ago. | 21:39 |
| KotCzarny | maybe it was afraid | 21:39 |
| Wikiwide | I am too tired of my sister's unrealistic jokes to even find such suggestions funny. | 21:40 |
| Wikiwide | I am too serious. | 21:40 |
| Wikiwide | And my sister's Nokia 8110 4G has got unasked for 6 o'clock alarm, at least once. Pretty sure that only our brother could have set the alarm. | 21:41 |
| gry | hey KotCzarny you got kids too? | 23:20 |
| brolin_empey | Is a person who is younger than the N900 qualified to opine about the N900? | 23:30 |
| gry | he thinks he is; the adults think they're qualified to get angry, too | 23:32 |
| gry | it's one of the most energy wasting reactions with the least impact on the situation | 23:33 |
| gry | and then a minute later the said "adult" talks nicely about how kites or butterflies or $whatever works, as if there was nothing happened with the mobile... | 23:34 |
| gry | have you tried doing that with your kids? scream at them for unqualified opinions about your nokia mobile, and then a minute later lead an innocent conversation. wait 5 or 15 mins for their next tease, repeat | 23:35 |
| gry | to be fair thats a bit offtopic here, i would be a bit more interested in ways to get pmwiki on a nokia device | 23:36 |
| gry | and that needs php-fastcgi, but i only have php-cgi in the packages | 23:36 |
| gry | and at pmwiki web site i do not see install instructions for lighttpd | 23:36 |
| brolin_empey | I do not have a child and do not want one. | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | hey gry! | 23:37 |
| gry | hey DocScrutinizer05 | 23:37 |
| gry | long time we did not speak i believe | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yeah | 23:38 |
| gry | i had this idea of making a mobile device with no screen, controlled by audio | 23:38 |
| gry | and my sister is getting started on it gradually | 23:38 |
| gry | do we have an offtopic channel somewhere which is not logged publicly? | 23:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | seems you already found it | 23:41 |
| brolin_empey | gry: Like the (apparently now discontinued) iPod Shuffle? | 23:43 |
| gry | I don't think I am familiar with ipod | 23:45 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | 'funny' enough there was a suggestion for a similar concept on neo900. To go modular with a main device that has no kbd, no display and not even much of speakers | 23:46 |
| luke-jr | did Neo900 ever ship?\ | 23:46 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | lol nope | 23:46 |
| luke-jr | is it still a project? | 23:47 |
| gry | ah I see where that question came from | 23:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Neo900 never reached the number of preorders so it stalled shortly before proto_v2 | 23:47 |
| gry | I think neo900 ended, and I am not sure whether translating its website to other languages would have helped | 23:47 |
| gry | I had this idea and even cloned its website to my localhost once | 23:48 |
| gry | but that stopped there and then, as I was too busy with homework and relocations etc | 23:48 |
| gry | got a power measurement tool and it looks like nokia n900, while being a full linux computer, uses close to no power | 23:53 |
| Maxdamantus | Presumably the easiest way to make a screen-less mobile would be to just take the screen off an N900 or something (and obviously come up with some other cover for the exposed PCB) | 23:53 |
