I always thought of this project if I could get down the size to for example raspberry pi zero to affordable price

to have wi-fi chips, and hook them up to steal electricity somehwere like this one can and run VPN at public wi-fi or some shit.

Maybe I'm going into an area I shouldn't be in

they draw so little electricity its practically unnoticeable

I know I've had one for months and checked how much it uses

under high load max 0.6 Ampere

which means all four cores 100%

just under 3 W

I could get it more down

Know that some power goes to GPU too

so you can undervolt it

yeah they are pretty efficient

or low power at least

Well, we are going into more efficient turf

With the A53 cores and so

15W ULV i5s are probably more efficient per FLOP

ARM chose to do power efficiency over performance power so far

since they are mainly used in phones

well they seem to get better performance

I didn't actually look into the newer chips

but apparently the 820 is a quadcore instead of an ""8core""

I guess they just put more cores in to combat the lower juice they could output

and it still competes with 8cores in multicore benchmarks at pretty low ghz

Octa-core A53 is now a thing

thats the chinky cpu right?

Mediatek is Taiwanese, I say chink but some other people like to call taiwan, HK etc for not chinkland

sure they have it "better", like HK has free internet for example (non censorship) but we all know that the chink gov have attacked them brutally

HK vs Mainland is a joke, they will be crushed

as you can see there is quite the price difference so far

But that is since Amlogic actually included a TV tuner with the octa core

they are crazy, these TV boxes might be about to go next level. I know Xiaomi used that one with Dolby licenses to make Xiaomi Android TV box which does Netflix , YouTube, Amazon in UHD with DRM

Features VP9 software decoding

I am still waiting for the new video format to come out

the one that will beat H.265 and be royalty free, I support free software.

yeah

speaking of tv boxes

my mi max just gave me a notification about a chinese tv guide

I should probably install a 3rd party remote app

LG has the best TV app, I was at my friend who had a no-name chink TV brand

and his actually had so many models it even had that, which my HTC didn't

yeah I'm coming from a g2, so I know

I don't really need the remote app for anything but the tv itself anymore tho.

I wish I could just rob their app

because the set top box in the living room only has some sort of radio

and an app

but that would require porting it for the serial IR sensor on your phone + the LG service associated

and I have a chromecast in my bedroom

yeah I checked that, and I'm just too lazy to care since I have SHARP AQUOS which basically is obv included in any decent app.

try the anymote app

it allows one free remote, if that's all you need it's perfect

its a bit annoying since its run in the background but I use greenify so yeah

is greenify still a thing?

yes

it just freezes apps like iOS does right?

Marshmallow has this built in

called doze mode

basically the history keeps repeating itself

people use mod ideas to make games, people use app ideas to implement (Android did this so much in the past)

And the original creators get 0

since I've lollipop I keep using greenify

Same with apple doing the f.lux meme while probably still suing companies for round corners or some shit

Apple is a faggot company

f.lux sucks too

ever heard about adjusting the brightness instead of fucking up my nice IPS colours?

I like f.lux

Its about the colour

Certain colours of light strain your eyes more. Obviously if you're doing some work that requires perfect colour then don't use f.lux

they give you an option to disable it for like an hour too iirc

You can just disable it outright whenever you like

ye i havent used it in a while maybe i should reinstall it

👌

I never really used flux on my pc tbh. It is nice on your phone when you're reading shitposts in clover tho. You need it built into your rom tho

not one of those shitty overlay apps

Faggot

Stallman would never use android

Or flux

well yeah

any decent software would override the overlay app

I do use overlay for my phone thouhg, but they are typically built-in the apps

because even at the lowest brightness its too bright at night when its pitch dark (yeah my room really blocks out all light I double secured the window)

redshift is better

I'm pretty impressed with my Mi Max's minimum brightness

it's like it's off in normal light

nice

and it has a night mode in addition to that

my nexus 5's minimum brightness is a bit too bright to use comfortably at night

cyanogenmod has a night mod

mode*

yeah the livedisplay feature

I used that on my LG G2

I hate AOSP to some degree so

I used to like it, but then I became an audiophile

they had too much loudness

So I had to use stock-based ROM for the best sound quality

What happened to nadeko

Muh porn

Nadeko died
