so no acpi sleep or hibernation
Kirn
Ah, okay
Kirn
so I was half-right
David
but when you shutdown the VM/PC, and it turns itself off without showing a "you can now turn off the computer" screen a-la win98?
David
that's acpi shutdown.
Kirn
Actually, even Windows Vista and Windows 7 show that on pre-ACPI systems
David
yep
David
and so would ros.
Kirn
Had an old Pentium 3 box that I ran Windows 7 on back in 2010, it didn't have a working ACPI implementation so I had to manually power off
Kirn
Although, 9x/ME did auto power off, but that's because those OSes fell back to APM, which hasn't been used in a very long time.

it's not like if we can PASTE the spec ;P

David
that page has a link to a 4.5mb PDF file
David
your choice.

Kirn
4.3MB, actually

I must ask, Alex... when you say EDGE, is it really EDGE, or does your operator only give you so much full-speed data and then give you unlimited EDGE-level speeds thereafter
Kirn
I'm in United States and I use T-Mobile, and after 6GB of usage at full speed, I am limited to 128kbit/s on all network levels (including 3G and LTE), although certain services still go at full speed (and do not count against the 6GB limit to begin with)
Kirn
For example, YouTube does not count against 6GB usage and will not be limited to 128kbit/s after 6GB usage
Kirn
The marketing name for that feature is "Binge On"

Reactos already can do it

Every mobile opreator does so.

David
at least here, mobile operators just give limited 3G/4G, ratherthan downgrading the connection
David
because supporting older systems would be too expensive

Kirn
at least here, mobile operators just give limited 3G/4G, ratherthan downgrading the connection
well, same here, too, but after you use all that data, they give you unlimited, but capped at 128kbit/s, but you can use that on 2G, 3G, or 4G, whichever is available in your area
🦥Alex Fails
But I have speed limit in 2 Mbit/s
🦥Alex Fails
because it's my tariff

I bought a only-2G package several year ago. Now it connects to LTE but only 10KB/s of speed.

Okay, just wondering, because as network interfaces are serial interfaces, they are typically rated in bits not bytes

I still use that phone number to receive SMS, because it cost only $1/mo.
Kirn
However, all of their data plans now exempt music streaming services from high-speed data, and from throttle cap after high speed is used up
Anonymous
Kirn
and all plans with 3GB or more per month also add various video services (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) to that as well, but those get limited to 1.5Mbit/s, without regard if there is high-speed data left or not
Kirn
which is actually good for me
Kirn
I can use 80GB of data on YouTube and none of it counts against my 6GB monthly limit
Kirn
but YouTube will be limited to 1.5Mbit/s
Anonymous
That is not available in india, once your speed is capped all services are capped
Kirn
although, if I have used all 6GB of monthly usage, YouTube still works up to 1.5Mbit/s

It's a special feature that only T-Mobile USA does

Oh, and I can use my entire high speed data bucket, unlimited SMS, and unlimited voice minutes, while internationally roaming in Canada or Mexico
orestes
Kirn
and it is treated as if I were still in United States
orestes
Kirn
And I have unlimited international data roaming (at 128kbit/s), unlimited international SMS roaming, and international voice roaming at $0.20/minute in over 140 countries

(never uses it)
This is true, but I do occasionally (every two years or so) go to Mexico
orestes
Kirn
To make you jealous :P it doesn't cost extra, it's part of the base plan
David
many operators have roaming included these days
orestes

🌚So how much does it cost
orestes
yeah how much
orestes
120$?
Kirn
nope
Kirn
$35/mo
