| <sad_plan> | perhaps im judgemental to its formfactor. seeing how thick it is. how much does it weigh even? |
| <midfavila> | like maye 4lbs |
| <midfavila> | maybe* |
| <midfavila> | maybe |
| <midfavila> | ig if youre a biceplet that could be an issue but i take it to work on my bike in a messenger bag and honestly my bike lock is heavier |
| <midfavila> | significantly so |
| <sad_plan> | 4lbs isnt *that* bad. I mean, it could be double that |
| <sad_plan> | tbh, my acer laptop probably isnt that much lighter |
| <midfavila> | 4lbs is pretty good |
| <midfavila> | i think the uconsole approaches a pound |
| <midfavila> | just handfeeling it |
| <sad_plan> | I havent weighed mine, but 4lbs doesnt sound too bad for such a thick laptop |
| <midfavila> | so ye |
| <sad_plan> | damn |
| <midfavila> | tbf tho the uconsole is a brick |
| <midfavila> | gonna be even moreso once i cram 4 more batteries in there |
| <midfavila> | 21Ah here we come >:3c |
| <sad_plan> | a forum post says uconsole weighs ~450g |
| <midfavila> | 454==1lb |
| <midfavila> | so right on the money |
| <sad_plan> | which is.. probably 4x ish the regular phone weight |
| <sad_plan> | yep |
| <sad_plan> | how many batteries doest it come with? 2? |
| <midfavila> | yeb |
| <midfavila> | 2 18650 lipos in parallel |
| <sad_plan> | neat |
| <midfavila> | someone on the forum modified the battery board to have four more terminals |
| <midfavila> | i already get a full day out of the uconsole on a single charge |
| <midfavila> | with the screen on all day |
| fitrh | quit (Quit: fitrh) |
| <sad_plan> | not too bad. even on regular phones, that can be tough |
| <midfavila> | yeb |
| <midfavila> | also keep in mind that it runs a full fat ubuntu |
| <midfavila> | so sysd/networkman/modemman/pulse/etc are all running too |
| <sad_plan> | yeah, it could probably run somewhat leaner if it ran something less than full fledged ubuntu |
| <midfavila> | a leaner, better-optimised image with proper suspend support would probably fare a lil better |
| <midfavila> | ye |
| <sad_plan> | yep |
| <midfavila> | im hoping to get back to fiddling with it soon |
| <sad_plan> | yeah |
| <midfavila> | i wanna rebuild the base image from source, then try to get a plain debian |
| <midfavila> | once i can do that i'll have the build down plus all the essentials from clockwork isolated |
| <midfavila> | after that gonna experiment with alpine |
| <midfavila> | if alpine can run, anything can |
| <midfavila> | that means a kiss image and then work starts on curses programs |
| <midfavila> | at some point id like to write a library that abstracts over xaw/curses/etc and just use that |
| <midfavila> | present a simplified interface for creating CUA programs for either toolkit |
| <sad_plan> | I was going to say alpine doesnt provide riscv rootfs's, or isos, but then I saw it |
| <sad_plan> | its only a mini rootfs though, not isos |
| <sad_plan> | but yes, if alpine runs, most other things should for sure run |
