sebsebsebKabouik: oh00:27
sebsebsebKabouik: what kind of help?00:28
Kabouikhttps://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1551444&postcount=355 that kind sebsebseb :\00:28
sebsebsebI think most will be sleeping or something now00:28
sebsebsebKabouik: not sure your trying to do something going by link00:30
KabouikThe post is from myself, just posted it a few minutes ago00:30
sebsebsebKabouik: do you know about the xperia xa2 and the current status of sailfish x ?00:31
KabouikNot really, I'm sorry, I'm using an X Compact00:31
sebsebsebyeah thats another one it seems00:31
sebsebsebI got the xperia x already but may get the xa2 under a deal thing00:32
KabouikYes and it has full Sailfish X (unofficial), while xa2 might still be just with trial, right?00:32
sebsebsebyeaah thats what i am not sure about00:33
sebsebsebbut if salifish doesnt work as well yet on the xa2 i guess i could have a nice andrid phone for the time being as well00:33
sebsebsebsailfish x the real thing is available for xperia x00:34
KabouikNice. Android phone. :<00:34
KabouikDoesn't go well together :O00:34
sebsebsebbut not sure about xa200:34
KabouikIt will come eventually for the XA2, even with updated Dalvik, but not sure when since I did not really follow news about this device00:35
sebsebsebKabouik: well my camera wont work as well on the xperia x once i put sailfish on00:35
KabouikI'm afraid I borked mine tonight with this resize2fs not working as reported in the howto I was following :(00:36
sebsebsebi think can work on xa2 now but maybe not properly sailfish not sure quite00:36
sebsebsebwhere you from00:36
KabouikFrance, and I know most people are sleeping right now in the Jolla community00:36
sebsebsebI think sledges was also telling me something about the xa2 and sailfish when i mett him again nesrly two weeks ago but I dont remember what he said00:38
sebsebsebhow many working sims you got?00:38
KabouikJust got one and no other device accepting nanos00:39
sebsebsebKabouik: yes looks like its just come out or something00:43
sebsebsebor about too prperly00:43
sebsebsebgoing by a link I just got on  hmm00:43
sebsebsebKabouik: yep November 8th all  XA2 models should be supported !00:46
sebsebsebcool :)00:46
sebsebsebKabouik: oh november yeah00:46
sebsebsebti's december00:46
sebsebsebso uhmm :)00:46
KabouikBut be sure to check that though because I'm not sure the full version is out00:46
sebsebsebKabouik: I th8ink I saw that free is out00:46
sebsebsebat least though some where too00:46
sebsebsebKabouik: how many working sim cards you got?00:47
KabouikJust one nano00:47
tiwakeponies00:47
sebsebsebKabouik: I can get a XA2,  with a PS4 and assianens creed game, and more  mobile data and that on my network00:47
sebsebsebKabouik: but the catch is I need another sim if I go that way, since already got a hand set with them00:47
sebsebsebtiwake: horses00:48
tiwakemagical talking equines00:48
sebsebsebtiwake: magical unicourns00:48
tiwakeheh00:49
sebsebsebKabouik: I don't have a PS4 so was thinking that deal.  then pay it off aas time goes on, or more in part etc.  got to do big enough up front charge too00:50
* sebsebseb still needs to re flash the Xperia X because of ceratin reasons but yeah00:50
sebsebsebmaybe having two  sims  that got to pay for, for the time being isn't too bad, with the amount of smart phones I now have !00:50
KabouikI can't advise you, I don't have/want a PS4 and I hate Assasin's creed. :<00:51
sebsebsebplus got one I could use from my old network too on pay as you go or a goddy bag if I really want00:51
sebsebsebKabouik: PS4 i don't want that much, but could be something to have one, my brother has one00:51
sebsebsebAssasisn creed I don't know,  I saw the film and dind't really get it, but hadn't played games so. why don't you like it00:51
KabouikI'm not into action or AAA games00:52
sebsebsebor could maybe buy the XA2 ULTRA instead for mroe else, wehre and that gets sfailsh too I guess :D00:52
KabouikAnd I'm too concerned with my X Compact being borked :p00:52
sebsebsebbut eh that would cost more00:52
sebsebsebKabouik: X comapct is one of the sony phones I think? silly question maybe00:53
sebsebsebor is it like a cheaper one ?00:53
KabouikIt basically is a smaller Xperia X00:53
sebsebsebah right00:53
sebsebsebhow small ?00:53
KabouikN9/Jolla1ish00:53
sebsebseboh right00:53
sebsebsebnice00:53
sebsebsebI usually like msallerw phones too, but yeah00:54
sebsebsebbut after having a bigger phone in pocet, someth8ing like the iphone se which I also got, WOW that's just small00:54
KabouikWhich I like, even coming from a Jolla C I was thrilled to get back to a smaller phone00:54
sebsebsebKabouik: ok looks like your right, there's a  cut down trial version for the XA2, but not the full one just yet: https://blog.jolla.com/new-sailfish-x-support-xperia-xa2-variants-free-trial/00:57
sebsebsebKabouik: i missed the whole jolla  c stuff and then it was to late when I found out, or I would have tried to have ggotton one myself00:57
sebsebsebKabouik: and the Aquafish I wasn't going to risk trying to import into England from India, since I read it has no CE mark in it, so customs  confascated on ceratin people trying to get into Europe00:58
sebsebsebKabouik: no android support etc in the tiral01:00
KabouikYeah, not surprising because it's free01:01
sebsebseband the camera stops working porperly once sailfih is on ! sine porpritary b it01:01
KabouikI gues the trial is just like the full version without the proprietary components01:01
sebsebsebKabouik: yeah but the  full version isn't ready yet01:01
sebsebsebyes it is01:01
sebsebsebbut the full ins't ready for the xa2 yet01:01
sebsebsebKabouik: and once I put  saiflish on my xperia x, I know the camera won't work as well anymore01:01
sebsebseband  also Sony's android implementation seems quite good really01:01
KabouikYeah well, I really dislike Android paradigm so it's not even a question for me01:02
sebsebsebwhy don't you like android ?01:02
sebsebseboh and Ubports is really good as well :)01:02
sebsebsebthe Ubuntu touch fork yeah01:02
KabouikI don't like the whole thing, UI, the way it works, multitasking, navigation, visuals, basically everything.01:03
sebsebsebpotential spying too01:03
sebsebsebbut ios is like that too01:03
KabouikI have no idea how to fix my X Compact, damnit01:03
sebsebsebKabouik: yeah I don't like adnroid that much01:03
sebsebsebalso they got too many apps01:03
sebsebsebandroid and ios01:03
sebsebsebKabouik: yeah it's late in Europe, but if your here in day, you will probably get better luck01:03
* sebsebseb remembers messing up the Jolla 1 and having to re flash01:04
tiwakesebsebseb: you live in USA?01:05
sebsebsebtiwake: no England01:07
sebsebsebyou01:08
tiwakeUSA... was going to offer mailing some XA2 ultra crap I got on accident..01:08
tiwakeits just a couple screen protectors and a case01:09
tiwakenot worth shipping internationally01:09
KabouikConfirmed: bootloop for my X Compact :901:09
KabouikDamn, and I don't have a backup phone for this sim format01:09
tiwakeinteresting https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Epic-Games-Store01:10
sebsebsebtiwake: oh actually01:14
sebsebsebtiwake: I think if it's small not that much01:14
sebsebsebtiwake: it would probably come here mostly ok01:14
sebsebsebno big customs charge I mean01:14
tiwakewell, shipping UPS or fedex is a loooot easier for me01:14
sebsebsebtiwake: and I was just thinking about cases anyway01:14
sebsebsebtiwake: yes can send via UPS or fedex01:14
sebsebsebwell not sure about UPS quite but Fedex definetly01:15
tiwakenot for anything less than $5001:15
sebsebsebwe got Fedex in UK01:15
sebsebsebtiwake: but I was just thinking about that agin too, how woudn't have a case for it probably etc01:15
tiwakewell, I'm not sure what fedex charges for international01:15
sebsebsebprobably not that much to post USA to UK  for small things with something01:16
sebsebsebtiwake: also I  have UPS,  US  post service?01:16
sebsebsebthen just beocmes royal mail on this end01:16
sebsebsebI think above01:16
sebsebsebtiwake: Royal Mail is like our standard post company01:16
sebsebsebthe usual post01:16
tiwakeUSPS is generally what is used internationally, and I have looked at prices and stuff between UPS and USPS01:16
sebsebsebthe usual mail01:16
tiwakeUPS was bloody expensive01:17
sebsebsebtiwake: just done a google search, sending small things from USA to UK01:19
sebsebseband this came up: https://www.niparcels.com/courier-services/import/courier-from-usa-to-uk/01:19
sebsebsebnever used them but  yeah01:19
tiwakethe thing is my work has a USPS and UPS accounts, nothing else01:20
tiwakeUSPS is always closed after I'm done with work01:20
tiwakeand doing some other crap is going to be even more of a hassle01:20
tiwakeerp, work has a UPS and Fedex account, rather01:21
sebsebsebtiwake: I guess this might help https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=254017301:21
sebsebsebtiwake: we have DHL as well01:21
tiwakeI think DHL is owned by UPS01:22
sebsebsebtiwake: I would maybe have to pay a tiny bit of customs/vat on the parcel since coming outside of the EU01:23
sebsebseb(yes we are still in the EU for now, Brexit uhmm)01:23
tiwakeheh01:24
sebsebsebbut I think on your end you put what the stuff is worth and that's about it01:24
tiwakehurry up and just cut off of the EU already01:24
sebsebsebtiwake:  such a mess01:24
tiwakesheesh01:24
sebsebsebthey might try and un do the whole brexit thing it seems too now going by the news01:24
sebsebsebUSA is usally honest the stuff is worth what it is01:25
sebsebseband china lie a bit01:25
tiwakeit was kinda like "well, us leaders don't think it will pass, so sure, go ahead and vote for cutting out of the EU" and then it actually passed, and now they are coming up with as many excuses as possible to prevent it from happening01:25
sebsebsebtiwake: BUT Ithink for small enough things they will hardly een care01:25
sebsebsebtiwake: I think you should be able to send cheap01:26
sebsebsebsince it's just small stuff01:26
tiwakeblerf... maybe01:26
sebsebseba bit like how letters just go through :)01:27
sebsebsebor pay a little more on the stamps if bigger  or something bigger in there01:27
tiwakePM me in a week... I've been super busy with work lately and in a couple days a friend is arriving from 2,000 miles away to move in with me01:27
sebsebseband how did you get xa2 stuff by mistake ?01:27
sebsebseb2,000 miles hmm from there?01:27
sebsebsebfrom where01:27
tiwake2,000 miles only gets you half-way across USA :301:28
sebsebsebover here would be in some othe country01:28
sebsebsebin Europe I thin k01:28
tiwakefor sure... heh01:28
sebsebsebUSA is massive !01:28
sebsebsebnot quite as big as Russia or China though I think01:28
tiwaketo be fair, each state in USA is kinda like its own country01:29
sebsebsebbut that was the canadians fault and rpobably mexico too etc h eh01:29
sebsebsebyes the states are a bit like countiers or can be01:29
tiwakeat least are supposed to be01:29
sebsebsebwhich one are you in01:29
tiwakethe only one that matters01:29
tiwake:301:29
tiwakeTexas01:30
sebsebsebok none then, since USA doens't matter :D01:30
sebsebsebtiwake: Texas is knowng for the crazy cow boys or something like that still I think? also still has the death penalty uhhh ! ?01:30
tiwakeoh yeah, it still has all the good stuff01:30
tiwakethats why I moved here01:31
tiwakeand my friend is moving too01:31
sebsebsebso you would get the death penalty for something yeah01:31
tiwakeif I decided to kill a few people, sure01:31
sebsebsebmoved from where01:31
sebsebsebtiwake: so how did you get xa2 stuff by mistake ?01:32
tiwakeamazon, I thought I ordered XA2 stuff when in fact I was ordering XA2 ultra crap01:32
sebsebsebtiwake: oh01:32
sebsebsebdoes the ultra stuff work with the normal xa2?01:32
tiwakeso I have a water-proof case and two glass screen protectors for the XA2 ultra01:33
tiwakeheh no... the XA2 ultra is quite a bit larger01:33
sebsebsebtiwake: I bought a few wrong caes and too many scren protection stuff off amazon when I was trying to get stuff for the xpeira x01:33
sebsebsebtiwake: oh right, but I thought i said I would be getting the standard XA 2 ???01:33
tiwakeyou said something about the ultra a while back01:34
tiwakesomething about a playstation?01:34
sebsebseboh you may have mis read01:34
tiwakeiunno, and I'm too lazy to look again01:34
sebsebsebtiwake: there's a deal too get01:34
sebsebsebwell01:34
sebsebseba standard XA2 phone  single sim01:35
tiwakethe XA2 ultra will work with SailfishOS01:35
sebsebsebwith a free PS401:35
tiwakebleh, my beer is empty01:36
sebsebsebahd the game01:36
sebsebseband network stuff  including a new sim which is the catch01:36
tiwakeI should get more beer01:36
sebsebsebthen can pay off in part or full later etc01:36
tiwakeand ponies01:36
sebsebsebpay per month01:36
sebsebseband I know there are three xa2's01:36
tiwakebleh I should shave too01:37
sebsebsebbut the other two probably have a bit too big screen's etc01:37
tiwakeand take out the trash and cook something for dinner01:37
sebsebsebalso   if it's like the xperia x, then the camera won't owrk proerly once sailfish is on anyway so01:37
sebsebsebso why get the more expensive versions, doesn't make sense01:37
sebsebsebtiwake: pluss those are bigger phones01:38
tiwakesebsebseb: just do me a favor and hurry up and pull out of the EU01:38
sebsebsebtiwake: why so we can have a nice trade deal with the US, if trump allows for it01:39
tiwakeyou know, like you voted for01:39
tiwaketry not to get to the point of france01:39
sebsebsebno that wasn't me01:39
sebsebsebI voted remain01:39
sebsebsebbut over half of the people in this country are silly really so leae won01:39
sebsebsebtiwake: ok I am leaiving here,,  and my lap top fan is sounding a bit funny it seems hmm01:42
tiwakelaptops are crap01:43
tiwakeget a desktop01:43
tiwakeand PC masterrace01:43
sebsebsebtiwake: yeah can be I hae had a few issues with this one01:43
tiwakehow much more advice do you want from me?01:43
sebsebsebI have old deskotps, they take up space and uh01:43
tiwakebuy AMD, intel is crap01:43
sebsebsebAMD hsas more heat or pwoer or whatever it was01:43
tiwakeno01:44
tiwakethey have a slightly higher TDP number because AMD correctly reports what TDP is, intel lies about their TDP numbers01:44
tiwakefor all intel processors, add 5% to 20% and sometimes more, to their reported TDP for a given processor to get actual TDP values01:45
tiwakeI don't know how into security you are, but meltdown is an epic intel failure to save one or two clock cycles every once in a while, while creating a huge freaking security hole in all of their processors at the hardware level going back 25 years01:46
tiwakeand includes their modern processors01:46
tiwakethe 8000 series01:47
tiwakeit can not be fixed with a firmware or microcode update01:48
tiwakehonestly I'm surprised that anybody is buying anything intel at this point01:49
tiwakein the food or car industry that crap would be recalled because of unsafe crap, and the business would go under01:50
svuorelais it correct that sailfish for xa isn't yet with android support ?17:54
r0kk3rzthats what it says18:03
svuorelahmm.. thenm will only be short testing until that happens18:04
svuorelabut makes me a bit sad18:07
FireFlysupposedly "before the end of the year"18:17
svuorelaI'll look forward to that.18:26
FireFlymmm, I mean same18:35
FireFlyI started using the XA2 this week, but could use android support18:35
svuorelamy xperia x starts to feel a little bit used.18:35
svuorelaI got it second hand half a year ago when my C started to fade.18:35
FireFlyMy J1 started to feel a bit dated :p18:36
FireFlyit's had a good run18:37
svuorelaheh.18:37
FireFlyfirst one J1 at that, so just about five years exactly18:37
svuorelaI have 2 J1 in a drawer somewhere.18:37
FireFlyI've been in "I should get a new phone" mode sorta for like.. a year and a half maybe18:38
FireFlybut the final tipping point was when the banking app I need to login to gov't things stopped working this past summer because the android compat layer was too old18:38
FireFlyI mean I could live without it, but it's certainly a hassle18:39
svuorelahow do you get banking apps and such on your sailfish phon e?18:39
FireFlyOh, I had sideloaded google's play services thing and the play store, so could just install it from there18:39
svuorelaoh.18:40
r0kk3rzits kinda shithouse that government things dont just use a website18:40
FireFlyWas thinking I'd try microG stuffs on the XA2 once I have a working android compat layer18:40
FireFlyr0kk3rz: yes. or something that's publicly standardised/free to implement/publicly vetted18:41
FireFlyI don't like having to trust proprietary crypto18:41
r0kk3rzthe web is about as standard as it gets these days18:41
