DocScrutinizer05 | gry: don't worry, Neo900 ended because of too long time it took to find layouters and too few preorders to sustain the project | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
gry | yes i thought translating to other languages would have opened non-english preorders | 00:01 |
gry | not sure how many though | 00:01 |
gry | if you or someone else decide to make another device i am still willing to help with translations | 00:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | judging by email we received, asking for details in non-english language, it wouldn't have made any differemce | 00:01 |
gry | ok | 00:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sorry nope, I'm done with running a company | 00:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | alas $trouble isn't done with me yet | 00:03 |
gry | yep | 00:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | did you know it costs $$$$ and takes 12 months+ to *shut down* a GmbH? | 00:03 |
gry | that sounds a tad painful | 00:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not just a tad | 00:04 |
gry | thats weird, do they want companies to keep going? :-/ | 00:04 |
gry | i remember maemo became an eV, but i don't recall what happened from there; i think this is less pain | 00:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the easiest way is prolly "chaper 11" | 00:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | chapter* | 00:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | in German it's "Insolvenz" | 00:06 |
gry | that sounds like bankrupty style thing | 00:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it is | 00:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | "alas" Neo900 UH not bankrupt enough for that | 00:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | UG even | 00:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | paradox prank | 00:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm sure there are ways around that, known by lawyers which cost $$$$ again | 00:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | conclusion: never even think about running a company if you can't afford a lawyer, an accountant and a sevretary fulltime | 00:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | secretary* | 00:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and a web designer / PR officer | 00:17 |
gry | yes | 00:17 |
KotCzarny | gry: i think if someone configures android for voice actions, then disables screen entirely, it might qualify as no-screen phone | 07:44 |
KotCzarny | listening for audio commands all the time eats battery though | 07:45 |
KotCzarny | as for n900, it uses ~9mA in idle (screen off, but ready to receive calls or events) | 07:45 |
KotCzarny | more if you have some program running all the time | 07:45 |
