[11:45:39] <FatPhil> Normally with the bigger cards, tehy require more power, so battery-powered devices were less capable of coping with them.
[11:45:01] <FatPhil> cmn32480|away: my Raspi came with a 16GB SD card. However, I've not successfully powered it up yet, but is apparently worked for the last owner :-/

[04:01:14] <cowyon> i thought it was pretty low, like 4 or 8 GB

[02:43:54] <cmn32480> ok
[02:43:50] <Bytram> ok, I give in. ... time to get some sleep
[02:43:42] * cmn32480 changes channels again
[02:43:30] <cmn32480> it was HGTV
[02:43:25] <cmn32480> and fails
[02:43:21] * cmn32480 channels food
[02:43:09] * Bytram now channels Santana
[02:42:58] * Bytram pictures an M1 tank decked out as a "low rider"
[02:42:21] <cmn32480> just don't let the tank get too low.
[02:41:58] <Bytram> ;)
[02:41:55] <Bytram> well, there's empty and then there's E M P T Y -- I'm almost there.
[02:40:30] <cmn32480> you been running on empty for a week already
[02:40:20] <cmn32480> I'm surprised you ar still on your keyboard
[02:40:06] * Bytram is starting to feel run down... bedtime is not too far away, methinks
[02:40:02] <cmn32480> damnit... there goes my channel backups
[02:39:45] <cmn32480> house is still standing
[02:39:42] * chromas degausses the channel
[02:39:42] <cmn32480> so all in all not bad.
[02:39:41] <Bytram> so glad to hear/read it!
[02:39:35] <cmn32480> haven't killed or lost any of the kids with J gone...
[02:39:23] <cmn32480> doing ok
[02:39:18] <cmn32480> sorry had to put a kid back in bed
[02:37:57] <Bytram> how you doing?
[02:37:44] <cmn32480> bytram !!

[02:37:28] <Bytram> takyon++ well-crafted submissions!

[02:20:21] * Bytram remembers having to fine tune those settings on an old school CRT
[02:19:34] <takyon> yes i have seen the trapezoid
[02:14:19] <Bytram> and, yes, there's lots more!
[02:12:57] <Bytram> gamut, pincushion, trapezoid, etc.
[02:12:43] <Bytram> no need, I know what you mean
[02:12:33] <cowyon> if I can find and example I will link it
[02:12:29] <Bytram> my thoughts are that if they could make the gaps smaller, they would. no matter how large the lit part of the pixel, the unlit area is probably as small as they can make it so as to maximumize the display's ability to be readi in direct sunlight.
[02:12:23] <cowyon> there are more attributes to screens than PPI and resolution. I've seen some elaborate testing on anandtech
[02:11:59] <cowyon> what I can tell you is
[02:11:45] <cowyon> if they decrease in size proportionately it wouldnt matter
[02:11:36] <Bytram> could be
[02:11:30] <cowyon> and it might be different for techs like OLED
[02:11:29] <Bytram> but there's more of htem
[02:11:22] <cowyon> I think those non lit gaps could decrease in size as well
[02:11:20] <Bytram> if there were 4 pixels, there would be a vertical gap and a horizontal gap.
[02:11:02] <Bytram> if there were only ONE pixel, then the entire screen would be lit up.
[02:10:37] <cowyon> allow me to parse that statement
[02:10:33] * Bytram is guess that the pixels are not butted right up one against the other without a gap.
[02:10:11] <Bytram> as there are more pixels, there is more of the screen covered (percentage wise) by the non-lit gaps between the pixels
[02:10:02] -!- cowyon [cowyon!~422c73bf@94-77-993-929.c1-8.grg-ubr9.lnh-grg.md.cable.rcn.com] has joined #editorial
[02:09:42] <Bytram> there is probably a downside to ultra high resolutions...
[02:08:37] <takyon> what really gets me is that 3200x1800 resolution I see on some laptops. It's nice, but I'm like, just go to 4K already!
[02:07:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:06:53] <takyon> I have railed at 1366x768 resolution many times, but at this small size it doesn't matter much. I'm here looking at 1366x768 on 15.6 inches. If I move to the Chromebook, I'm just getting higher PPI
[02:06:18] * Bytram dreams of having 3 4K monitors
[02:06:04] * Bytram is so very glad he got his 1920x1200 monitor several years ago.
[02:05:45] <Bytram> oh, yeah. u r righte
[02:05:21] <takyon> 1080 or 1200 you mean
[02:05:07] <Bytram> too bad it's only 768 tall; 1024 (or 1200) makes a huge difference
[02:04:27] <takyon> i guess the 802.11ac makes it attractive to the lucky Google Fiber users out there
[02:03:52] <takyon> 1366x768 res at 11.6 inches
[02:03:26] <takyon> dual-core Celeron with integrated graphics, 2 GB of RAM which happens to be more than enough, 2 USB ports, 802.11ac wireless out of nowhere
[02:03:23] * Bytram was wondering if that would still work
[02:03:13] <Bender> woop woop woop (\/) (;,,;) (\/)
[02:03:13] <Bytram> !woop
[02:03:09] <Bytram> it can run linux? woo hoo!
[02:02:56] <takyon> the really great thing is I could easily reset the device to base Chrome or wipe it, add Linux and hand it away in the future
[02:02:52] <Bytram> wow! that's a GREAT deal! what are the specs like?
[02:02:02] <takyon> people who got it at $180-200 launch price or $120-140 sale price are probably happy with it, but at $100 I'm floored

[02:00:44] <Bytram> silence++
[02:00:37] <Bytram> VERY nice!
[02:00:26] <takyon> silent and probably 4x the battery life of my normal laptop
[02:00:23] <Bytram> nice! which one did you get?
[02:00:13] <takyon> the chromebook is working well
[01:59:54] <Bytram> glad to hear (umm read) it!
[01:59:47] <takyon> maybe dumping all this news
