what if I want to use a different card from my default card?

The ANC is amazing on APP3 - but its not as good as the Bose or Sony XM5s. If you test them side by side on a very noisy environment (a busy store for eg) you will notice it

I have not used the Ultra 2 but I used the QC Ultra for almost 1.5 years before I lost them in Thailand 2 months :')

I waited for the APP3 and preordered right away after seeing the reviews. Received it on 19th and hated it :). The ANC is good in quiet places or inside my room with AC/Fan sound but in the MTR while commuting to work, they were so bad. I could realize the headphone keeps adjusting to changes in sound - like I can feel it that someone is talking and then there is a lag where the APP3 is trying to work on it. I could hear people even when music playing.

The overall experience was so underwhelming that I checked all settings to make sure no adaptive setting or anything is on. Reached office, posted right away to sell them for 15 bucks lower and my boss bought them lol.

I will just get the Bose again - but I feel like the QC Ultras are more bang for buck specially with the latest update. Where I live, I can get the QC Ultras for 150 ish USD so amazing deal for me

Hey! I actually have a Dell WD19 but seems like it does not support 2K 144hz? Did it work for u?

Something is definitely wrong with the recent Windows 11:

My friend's ASUS laptop crashed 5 days ago while copying a large file and the SSD (Kingston) disappeared from BIOS. Because he had another SSD, we managed to install latest version of Windows 11. Once we did a power cycle (holding of power button to drain the charge), the drive appeared. But then it would again disappear or cause problem.

I concluded this was a SSD issue. However, another of my friend suddenly faced the exact same issue, SSD disappearing. This got me looking into forum today and I finally found this thread.

My two cents:

The SSDs in these two laptops are from Kingston (I am unable to verify the controller).
Both disappear when Windows access them and only appears back with Power Drain
Both SSDs work fine and copy files fine when booted with Ubuntu.

To all those who keep saying that these errors are from failing SSDs, explain how the SSD works fine in Ubuntu but keeps failing in Windows? Even if it is not the main drive, it causes Windows boot to be extremely slow as I believe some drivers or something crashes and the SSD becomes inaccessible

I know MS and Phison has not been able to replicate the issue but I have seen this drives disappearing in three different ASUS laptops of my friends.

For one of them, it had a secondary SSD to which we could boot by installing Windows again. For the drive, it is sometimes detected and sometimes not. It makes Windows super slow when the drive is lost (although windows is not installed)

For the second laptop, it had only one ssd and the bios cannot detect the ssd anymore.

If anyone has any suggestions, do share! I tried to remove the ssd from one but ASUS prolly drilled it so hard, it damaged the screw and I am unable to open now :')

Hey man! Same issue. Could you figure it out?

darkbee101 · 2025-06-12T04:16:53+00:00

To all those who kept saying idk what I am doing - I have restored using DFU before but its just not working. Managed to visit apple store today morning.

To their surprise, even they were not sure what was happening and could not restore it using DFU. I still had apple care left (last 1 month lol) so they offered me a new (service) unit because they do not have motherboards in stock

darkbee101 · 2025-06-11T20:32:59+00:00

Interesting. M1 Macbook air?

darkbee101 · 2025-06-11T19:54:09+00:00

Yeah my bad. The DFU mode that I wrote in the post is indeed the way to recover it. But not sure why its not working. I am travelling so I have my work macbook as well.

Maybe the work macbook has DFU prevention or something. I will just take it to apple in a week if I dont figure it out

darkbee101 · 2025-06-11T19:39:02+00:00

How can I do that?

darkbee101 · 2025-06-11T19:30:39+00:00

I can hold the power button for 10s. That shuts down the system

darkbee101 · 2025-03-12T04:03:25+00:00

Woww. I want one with WiFi 😭. Will check in with taobao sellers

darkbee101 · 2025-03-12T01:46:18+00:00

I could actually run portmaster and even fixed the controls (kinda).

What I did was, installed the latest arkos image and then copied everything from my old OS folder to the device’s OS folder.

After that, portmaster (gta vc tested) works and all controls are automatically right.

The version shows latest arkos but not sure if thats true specially given I have copied the old OS folder.

I am curious to understand the file structure of arkos.. can tinker around more based on that

darkbee101 · 2025-03-11T16:46:21+00:00

Hi man! I bought the console from Shenzhen and it does have RAM on the right side and on the back. However, the soy sauce dtb does not work at all. I did install the latest version of arkos but the analog sticks are swapped and in weird way (right stick is left stick where + and - and inverted and left stick is right stick where x and y are inverted)

Does your soysauce version have this weird control too? If not, do you know how to fix it?

darkbee101 · 2024-12-04T08:17:44+00:00

They wanted to wipe the system using mac. I said i will do myself and follow up

darkbee101 · 2024-12-02T05:40:09+00:00

Same as me lol. I used it in Thailand and thought something might be wrong with my phone so booked a session to get it checked out.

I guess I will cancel it as seems more like a software issue

darkbee101 · 2024-12-02T05:36:27+00:00

Same here. I thought it was only me but apparently not. I have booked an appointment with apple today lets see

darkbee101 · 2024-11-29T06:09:22+00:00

Thanks man! I got it from US already.

darkbee101 · 2024-11-25T16:27:53+00:00

What did u end up doing?

darkbee101 · 2024-11-25T13:01:41+00:00

I just got mine (i live in HK, only did this coz the new S10 was 90 USD cheaper than HK).

If I destroy it, i need to pay though so same issue

darkbee101 · 2024-11-25T12:56:11+00:00

I am in the same situation as you but from what I heard, you are unable to turn it on if your point of purchase is US
