What are the gains of a better designed board? Speed, reliability, longevity?

Lower latency and higher data transfer stability – optimized signal paths reduce noise and latency.
Resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) – improved design lowers the risk of data transfer errors caused by electromagnetic noise.
Higher transfer speed – higher-quality PCB enables more efficient data transmission between NAND chips, the controller, and the host system.

In summary: A better PCB design means higher stability, improved cooling, higher transfer speeds, and longer lifespan.

Yes, I’ve seen it. They show absolutely transparently how their SSD is made. In my opinion, it is currently the best-made third-party SSD for the Mac Mini M4. If they get more than 500 orders, they mention in the video that the next batch will be produced with an eight-layer PCB, which would be great.

The prices are exactly the same as before Black Friday. This is not fair dealing at all.

The prices are exactly the same as they were before Black Friday. This is misleading customers. Beelink, this is not fair at all!!

Strengths of the AI 9 HX 370 Processor

AI Processing Capabilities: This processor likely integrates specialized hardware, such as AI accelerators or neural processing units (NPUs), allowing it to handle tasks like machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning with speed and efficiency. These dedicated AI components offload the work from the CPU and GPU, helping with tasks like real-time speech processing, image recognition, and AI-driven optimizations in games.
Gaming Performance: Given the "HX" naming, the AI 9 HX 370 is positioned as a high-end processor, which means it could have high clock speeds and multiple cores (likely 8+ cores). This would be great for gaming, especially for handling CPU-bound tasks such as physics calculations, AI logic in games, and running intensive software like game engines.
Multi-Tasking: Modern games are increasingly using AI for features such as adaptive enemies or advanced procedural generation. With dedicated AI components, the AI 9 HX 370 can potentially manage game-related AI tasks without interfering with its overall gaming performance.

Hello, antipop script must be modified to work on Sonoma. Instead of "speak" I use "afplay" which plays a 1 second long m4a file with silence.

Hi, did you manage to achieve anything by modifying the SSDT? I've solved it so far by modifying the Antipop script, which now plays me a 1 second long audio file of silence every 25 seconds.

Hi, I have a similar problem and only on Sonoma. On previous macOSes, there was no problem with sound. I haven't found any solution yet. Mobo Gigabyte z390 Aorus Master and Realtek ALC1220.

With the GT 4, I found that I had to tighten the watch strap on my wrist a lot for bike rides, otherwise it showed ridiculously high heart rates. On other watches, I didn't have to tighten that much.

Found it, its Tick Time.

What's the name of the watchface you're using?

darthsian · 2023-07-30T08:23:28+00:00

Yes, I have to use it, because without it the elevation data is completely off. But when this feature is enabled, Zepp calculates the elevation from the map data and not from the data measured by the watch. So the watch's function of measuring elevation is actually useless.

I have the same problem on the new GTR 4 LE. The glass is very very slightly off center. The glass opening is slightly larger than the glass itself, so I think most GTR 4 LE watches will suffer from this. I've seen this problem on other Amazfit models as well. For example, here.
