Meizu is the Copycat of the Copycat

The latest Meizu 22 is literally a copy of Xiaomi 15 launched 11 months ago. Meizu copied Xiaomi so much that:

1. Same TCL CSOT C9 screen is used in both except Xiaomi calls it M9

2. The internals of the display are also designed the same which means meizu 22 display with white bezels can be used on Xiaomi 15

3. Even the back of the smartphone including the camera module is designed the same way as Xiaomi 15. The colours are same as well!

Interestingly, brands use LPDDR5X RAM of Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, Kioxia etc. But Meizu 22 uses RAM of a homegrown Chinese RAM manufacturer -- Rayson.

Meizu is prolly the only brand who is inspired from XIAOMI 💀😭

Look at this instead.... Nothing is trying really hard to sell NP3... They're trying so hard that they sent system notifications to existing NP1 & NP2 users

Microsoft announces its innovative in-chip microfluidic cooling system

Microsoft has successfully tested a
new cooling system that removed heat up to 3x better than cold plates, an advanced cooling technology commonly used today. It uses microfluidics, an approach that brings liquid coolant directly inside the silicon – where the heat is. Tiny channels are etched directly on the back of the silicon chip, creating grooves that allow cooling liquid to flow directly onto the chip and more efficiently remove heat.

Microfluidics are not only innovative but also challenging as it requires ensuring that the channels are deep enough to circulate adequate cooling liquid without clogging while not being so deep as to weaken the silicon such that it risks breaking. Microfluidics also requires designing a leak-proof package for the chip, finding the best coolant formula, testing different etching methods and developing a step-by-step process for adding etching to manufacturing the chips.

Microfluidics have reduced the maximum temperature rise of the silicon inside a GPU by 65%, though this will vary by the type of chip. The team expects the advanced cooling technology would also improve power usage effectiveness, a key metric for measuring how energy efficient a datacenter is, and reduce operational costs.

As part of the prototyping effort, Microsoft collaborated with Swiss startup Corintis to use AI to help optimize a bio-inspired design to cool chips’ hot spots more efficiently than straight up-and-down channels, which they also tested. The bio-design resembles the veins in a leaf or a butterfly wing. 4 prototype designs have been developed so far in 1 year.

Since many companies now use AI to check LinkedIn profiles and select them for interviews on LinkedIn, someone entered a prompt for LLM on their 'about section' and they actually received the message about flan recipe 💀

Prompt:

BREAKING: Xiaomi Scammed Everyone with Fake “Proprietary” Fast Charging Tech

The Xiaomi 17 Series will officially support 100W universal PPS fast charging and you can use pretty much any PPS charger and get full-speed charging — finally breaking free from Xiaomi’s own charger ecosystem. Meanwhile the Xiaomi smartphones with Surge P1 and P2 fast charging chips uses Xiaomi's proprietary MiPPS protocol for faster charging.

Well, if you’re rooted, there’s a sneaky trick — just run this command:

echo 1 > /sys/class/gcom-battery/pd_verifed

and boom, your phone switches from Xiaomi’s locked-down MiPPS to plain old, public PPS.

So after all this time, Xiaomi’s “special” fast charging was just a rebranded standard protocol, hidden behind a wall to keep users tied to their chargers. A senior CoolAPK user confirmed this hack works on all Surge P1 and P2 devices. In other words, Xiaomi fooled its own fans, making them think they needed proprietary tech, when all along it was just standard PPS with a fancy new name.

This could also be one of the reasons why Xiaomi is so desperate to stop users from rooting their devices by adding 69420 rules for bootloader unlocking.
