Wizzup: I have fixed nothing re 6.6 power usage. Also, power usage in 6.6 is not ok, my device is using > 200 mW on idle with 6.6 compared to ~135 with 6.1
<freemangordon>
I'll be back home later today, though I don;t know if I will have time today to try to fix it
<Wizzup>
freemangordon: well, it is 'good enough' for me, I still get 2 days, so I am happy
<Wizzup>
but yes, we do need to fix it

I want a 5G (or at least, 4G) phone running Linux - and not just a candybar. Between LG Wing, Blackberry Priv and Blackberry Passport, which one is more likely to be able to run Maemo Leste? Other device recommendations are welcome, too.
<Wizzup>
probably currently none of them, but looking at the soc in there and if hte community has interest in it might be a good guide

<uvos__>
i gues the closest ist the fxtec 1 right? if you can find one of those
<uvos__>
not that it works
<uvos__>
but at least there was some work done on that
<uvos__>
tecnically mapphones are 4g :P not that you can do anything with the lte modem

uvos__: What is mapphone?
<Wikiwide>
uvos__: Had Fxtec Pro1, with Sailfish OS on top of Android with libhybris. Software update bricked that. No energy left to unbrick that.
<uvos__>
the droid4 (and related devices) currently the most targeted development platform of leste. but they are 4g in theory only, the modem is of no use in modern times
<uvos__>
well your out of luck then, the droid4 is the most modern qwerty phone with good linux support and the fxtec is the only lte+ qwerty phone with any support
<Wizzup>
I have not checken on fxtec mainline support recently
<Wizzup>
checked*
<uvos__>
yeah
<uvos__>
even if it works they made seemingly 3 of those before going out of bussness
<uvos__>
:P
<Wikiwide>
My sibling has another Fxtec Pro1, was running it with stock Android. Until got hardware problem. Pogo pin broken off? Don't remember. Got spare parts, even. But haven't been able to revive it, yet.
<Wizzup>
they went out of business? shame
<Wikiwide>
Everybody goes out of business. If they are start-ups. Solution is to get Dragonbox Pyra (I have pre-ordered one, should pre-order one more, have been waiting for years) or to piggy back on devices of existing large companies (as in, community edition Linux for those mainstream devices which have not been utterly locked).

Or to collect devices of start-ups - rarities, like in a museum.
<Wikiwide>
Has anyone got hold of email address of HMD Global or anybody else sufficiently out of the box to persuade them to try out multi-board bracelet Linux-based mobile computer/phone?
<Wikiwide>
Like, link up all the multiple boards with USB cable into network.
<buZz>
a usb bracelet? :P
<buZz>
this sounds cute
<Wikiwide>
Meanwhile, I did not major in electrical engineering, I don't like soldering, my e-bike battery would likely need spot welding to replace cells, and boring recycling companies would not even try to reimburse me if I brought the mostly fine battery to them.
<Wikiwide>
buZz: Exactly! Much cuter than pink plastic Barby phone. Also, each of the devices on the bracelet would have its own tiny battery, and swap over to wireless comms instead of USB when taken off the bracelet.
<buZz>
nice pipedream ;) but bracelet computing in general might be something to think about
<buZz>
or , like those 1980 sweat absorbing wristbands?
<buZz>
as a formfactor
<Wikiwide>
Imagine: you can snap GPS/maps/navigator off bracelet and put it onto bicycle handlebar, and it would last you a hour or two until you put it back onto bracelet.
<buZz>
i have that pine64 smartwatch , its kinda cute
<Wikiwide>
I have pebble smartwatch or two somewhere, should get around to charging it and updating its software to rebble.
<buZz>
nice :) that hardware might be near your bracelet idea?
<buZz>
like a smartwatch with multiple screens
<sicelo>
Wikiwide: why not Pinephone Pro or Librem5
<sixwheeledbeast>
I'd be happy getting a pinephone if there was a compact slider keyboard more like the N900. The current keyboard offering is more like a massive case and not suitable for on the go. Dragonbox suffers the same it's keyboard is more for on a desk in which case I'd use a thin laptop.
<buZz>
just get a droid4 then :)
<gnarface>
they discontinued the pinephone keyboard anyway
<gnarface>
they couldn't get a clamp on the quality control issues, and the size and fact it wasn't a slider model were already to avoid anticipated quality control issues
<buZz>
also the charging was pretty iffy :D
<buZz>
causing burning keyboards? or pinephones
<buZz>
cant remember
<gnarface>
a few of them burnt out their charging circuit, reasons still debated
<gnarface>
afaik no phones actually lit on fire from them, but they did discontinue the wireless charging backplate because it melted one phone
<sixwheeledbeast>
unavailable. at least you can buy a PP
<buZz>
gee
<buZz>
sixwheeledbeast: yeah i guess Wizzup owns all droid4s out there now ;)

Any open-source thermometers for sick people? Should be easier than Pinecil.
<Wikiwide>
Like, we have one ancient mercury thermometer, one unreliable infrared thermometer, and one new-fangled-cheapest-from-pharmacy 10s-metal-tip electronic thermometer. And they manage to get lost easily.
<Wikiwide>
I imagine that an open source electronic thermometer with a charging dock could start complaining loudly if it is motionless and not in dock. And shine bright LED lights.
amunizp has quit [Quit: Not sure what quit means.]
<sixwheeledbeast>
I like the look of the pinecil but I often need to solder in stupid locations, butune is less hassle than chunky battery banks an wires. I'd use a bench iron for proper jobs.
<sixwheeledbeast>
thermometers went mad during covid you couldn't buy one anywhere. Not something I would care about being expensive or open source if it's accurate enough.
<Wikiwide>
But I would go for AAAA, not a lipo. That is, if I can find a rechargeable AAAA. I like swappable batteries, especially old-fashioned cylindrical ones.
<Wikiwide>
Could be a lithium whatever cylindrical battery, of course. Have got a charger that works with either lithium or nickel batteries, no problem.

Would rather use eink screen, not OLED, if it reduces power consumption. For retro looks, it could even look like mercury thermometer - scale, not spoon-fed numbers.
<Wikiwide>
Would rather avoid smacking the thermometer, that's wear and tear. Rather, make thermometer feel the pressure, like an active stylus?
<Wikiwide>
And yes, charging circuit would be nice.
<Wikiwide>
But 1.2V or 3.7V~4.2V, I would probably find the redesign to be arduous.
