Burza w sieci. Chuwi podmienia procesory na starsze w swoich urzadzeniach
Niezależne testy obnażyły kontrowersyjne praktyki chińskiej marki Chuwi.
Okazuje się, że w popularnych, budżetowych laptopach montowane są starsze procesory, niż deklaruje to oficjalna specyfikacja. Co więcej, fałszywe identyfikowanie procesora w oprogramowaniu sprawia, że system Windows może wprowadzać w błąd użytkownika.
Sprawa zyskała rozgłos po śledztwie przeprowadzonym przez serwis sprzętowy Notebookcheck. Dziennikarze wzięli pod lupę model Chuwi CoreBook Plus, który jest oficjalnie reklamowany jako sprzęt napędzany układem AMD Ryzen 5 7430U (architektura Zen 3 z 2023 roku). Jednak po rozebraniu urządzenia na części, na płycie głównej znaleziono zupełnie inny, starszy chip – Ryzen 5 5500U (architektura Zen 2 z 2021 roku).
Choć na papierze różnica w nazewnictwie może wydawać się dla laika niewielka, nowszy układ oferuje wyższą wydajność i większą pamięć podręczną L3. Klienci płacą za sprzęt nowszej generacji, często droższy, a w rzeczywistości otrzymują leciwe podzespoły.
Zmodyfikowany BIOS i fałszywe odczyty w systemie
Najbardziej problematycznym elementem całej sprawy jest sposób, w jaki maskowano tę niezgodność. Pudełko, naklejki, BIOS, a nawet systemowe narzędzia diagnostyczne w Windowsie (takie jak Menedżer zadań) identyfikują układ jako nowszego Ryzena 5 7430U. Zwykły użytkownik nie ma szans zorientować się, że specyfikacja mija się z prawdą. Prawdę ujawnia dopiero fizyczne otwarcie obudowy i spojrzenie na sam krzem.
Nie jest to niestety odosobniony przypadek. Wcześniejsze testy przeprowadzone przez redakcję wykazały identyczny problem w innym modelu tego samego producenta – Chuwi CoreBook X. Powtarzalność problemu sugeruje, że nie jest to pojedynczy błąd produkcyjny.
Reakcja firmy i stanowisko redakcji
Jak zareagowało Chuwi na te doniesienia? Firma lakonicznie oświadczyła, że prowadzi „wewnętrzne dochodzenie”. Jednocześnie przedstawiciele marki wielokrotnie żądali od serwisu Notebookcheck usunięcia wcześniejszych raportów, grożąc krokami prawnymi za rzekome naruszenie wizerunku. To właśnie te próby uciszenia dziennikarzy zmotywowały ich do fizycznego rozebrania laptopa i udowodnienia niezgodności.
Dla konsumentów płynie z tego ważna lekcja: kupując tanią elektronikę od mniej renomowanych producentów, należy zachować ostrożność. Jeśli oferta na papierze wygląda wyjątkowo korzystnie, warto przed zakupem poszukać pogłębionych, niezależnych recenzji.

The work continues! We're getting into the third and fourth mammoth chapters of the CtL 1e corebook this week, from dreamweaving to Hedge-dueling and everything in between. Changeling's systems and storytelling stand it apart from the other nWoD games; this is where those differences really come to light. Here be friends and foes alike, and the many ways to deal with both. 🌲

Here goes something! Today begins our dive into the 1e corebook for Changeling: the Lost, a chomker of a text that will take a trilogy of episodes to get through. But it's a deep well of ideas for any game, so we hope you'll find something to use and appreciate. Stories of abduction and return, Wyrd and Glamour, seemings and kiths, Courts and Contracts... and this is just the first half. 🌵

Now that an Eldar/Aeldari book has been published, I'm actually thinking about picking up Cubicle 7's #WrathAndGlory Warhammer 40K #TTRPG (and the aforementioned Aeldari book). I note that the corebook actually includes Aeldari and Orks as viable PCs; that's very cool, but I want the whole shebang about my favorite faction.

The #librem11 is great so far, I've been giving #pureos a shot since it is #purism flagship distro -- there are things that I think need improvement -- like (a) some of the pureos apps are not as good as their #flatpak counterparts -- like for example flathub has #geany 2.0 while pureos is still 1.38 0 -- or (b) the native `gnome-calculator` app for some reason doesn't respect "Dark Theme" mode in #phosh -- same with #gedit -- the flatpak version needs to be installed by console (same with #epiphany).
I'm writing this from #tuba and i much prefer it to android #fediverse apps. #parabolic #xournal++ #gnome-maps #libreoffice #krita #gimp #discord #gimp #krita #mypaint all seem to be working just fine.
Having had no prior experience with #tablet sized devices with a keyboard, it wasn't obvious to me how the magnetic cover snaps to the back of the tablet in a λ kind of shape.
Contact sync with #nextcloud works as expected, and #geary email seems like a good fit for this size device, though I typically prefer #thunderbird -- I'm going to give that a try later.
#chatty seems clogged up when I try to login to my #matrix -- though I had a lot of rooms and person to person chats. I am thinking of installing the #flatpak version to see if that fixes it, but then that would seem odd to not use pureos version. It sometimes shows my rooms and contacts double in the left sidebar. Though I have been impressed when using my #librem5 and #postmarketos version of the app as I am new to it. It's a bit rough but seems to have come a long way.
Overall the device is pretty snappy, I have 6 apps open as I write this and it is doing just fine.
#cheese takes photos and videos just fine. I tried to get the #gnome "snapshot" "camera" app running but it doesn't automatically detect the cameras. I am not sure if this is because it is a flatpak or not. I enabled the permissions in #flatseal
I strongly recommend a wireless bluetooth mouse. I am using a inexpensive logitech m535 and it works great. Wifi, no complaints there.
I do think that the default apps in the pureos repos should either be updated or omitted as the default software source, suchas the #libreoffice package when intalled has a theme that makes it look like it's from the 1990s whereas the flatpak version is very nice.
I've been watching #linuxmobile over the last decade and I am presently surprised how far purism and the #linux and #foss people have come. Excellent work @ all. I think this is a great device to do development on as it runs much faster than my #pinephone and even my librem5. And it's not qemu, and the device seems easy enough to reflash -- one thing I especially like about the librem5 aswell when compared to other processes like fumbling through pmbootstrap to reflash #android to #lineageos
I am still trying to figure out what the best music app for this device is -- I do like #lollypopInternal sound quality isn't amazing, but I wouldn't call it bad either when comparing to some of the other small form factor devices with mobile speakers I've owned. It's fine as a fallback but you are better off with a bluetooth headset to complement it or a tiny portable bluetooth speaker.
Some options like "scale apps to fullscreen" are not easy to find so I had to set a few options in dconf-editor. I think there is a app called "Mobile Settings" that might have it. Not all apps have the dialogs constrained inside the screen dimensions like the Geany Open dialog for example (which is understandable as this app hasn't targeted mobile or tablet yet as far as I know.)
I use the device to watch online videos, for instant messaging via matrix via #element / #schildichat and it does just fine. I haven't tested it with #zoom or anything but from what I've seen I'm sure it'd do just fine.
Epiphany "Install Website as App" is a great feature -- I have several I've added to my App Menu, Epiphany has always had trouble though being on the lean side. I do wish that I had this option on #firefox ESR, in any case I've just switched to #librewolf again as I prefer it.
I am interesting in comparing phosh to #gnomemobile as I might want to use that instead someday. I have used #plasmamobile and it's hard to put into words in some ways I like it more than phosh, and in other ways I am just not used to the apps -- some apps are just better out of box like their notes app, I like that they have a flashlight button in their top menu. Their UX scaling and fluidity is really good. I am glad that everything is doing such a good job and friendly competition will drive each side to keep improving.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this device on day 1, but I am glad I did. And as I don't have a laptop or like laptops or conventional smartphones very much for me this device is kindof a big deal that I can do basic #linux and #it things on the go along with communication and such without all the headache of android, ios or windows which is not a option for me as linux is just better.
If you think about the #privacy space -- the #libremboot #codeboot is pretty revolutionary to start to see these kinds of firmwares in all in one hardware. And of course this automatic disk encryption is a nice bonus though not something I need as a enthusiast unless maybe I want to travel with the device and protect my data.
People will have different criticisms, and opinions, and I may be easy-going but overall my opinion is that I am pleased with the utility the device offers and I think any rough edges will only get better in the software over time. I may switch the default distro eventually to do some more research and exploring in the linux mobile space -- but it's a little unclear who the big names are worth checking out. I did postmarketos for a while but I feel like the QA is a little all over the place and their package manager is a little difficult to use when I want to check the available software versions, and the phone space is such a mess to try to document and navigate if you are trying to use a previously android device.
I'm also interested in how the #starlabs #starlite5 will compare and contrast in the future. Having used this device I can't recommend something in this size without a keyboard and mouse for more complex usage, I didn't really undestand that the Librem11 keyboard is wired at first, but now that I have figured it out I prefer the simple tech vs overcomplication.
All in all, I think they have a winner, and I expect to get a lot of use out of this as a side rig to my main desktop. Would buy again, and excited to see all the software improvements coming downstream.

Contact sync with #nextcloud works as expected, and #geary email seems like a good fit for this size device, though I typically prefer #thunderbird -- I'm going to give that a try later.
#chatty seems clogged up when I try to login to my #matrix -- though I had a lot of rooms and person to person chats. I am thinking of installing the #flatpak version to see if that fixes it, but then that would seem odd to not use pureos version. It sometimes shows my rooms and contacts double in the left sidebar. Though I have been impressed when using my #librem5 and #postmarketos version of the app as I am new to it. It's a bit rough but seems to have come a long way.
Overall the device is pretty snappy, I have 6 apps open as I write this and it is doing just fine.
#cheese takes photos and videos just fine. I tried to get the #gnome "snapshot" "camera" app running but it doesn't automatically detect the cameras. I am not sure if this is because it is a flatpak or not. I enabled the permissions in #flatseal
I strongly recommend a wireless bluetooth mouse. I am using a inexpensive logitech m535 and it works great. Wifi, no complaints there.
I do think that the default apps in the pureos repos should either be updated or omitted as the default software source, suchas the #libreoffice package when intalled has a theme that makes it look like it's from the 1990s whereas the flatpak version is very nice.
I've been watching #linuxmobile over the last decade and I am presently surprised how far purism and the #linux and #foss people have come. Excellent work @ all. I think this is a great device to do development on as it runs much faster than my #pinephone and even my librem5. And it's not qemu, and the device seems easy enough to reflash -- one thing I especially like about the librem5 aswell when compared to other processes like fumbling through pmbootstrap to reflash #android to #lineageos
I am still trying to figure out what the best music app for this device is -- I do like #lollypopInternal sound quality isn't amazing, but I wouldn't call it bad either when comparing to some of the other small form factor devices with mobile speakers I've owned. It's fine as a fallback but you are better off with a bluetooth headset to complement it or a tiny portable bluetooth speaker.
Some options like "scale apps to fullscreen" are not easy to find so I had to set a few options in dconf-editor. I think there is a app called "Mobile Settings" that might have it. Not all apps have the dialogs constrained inside the screen dimensions like the Geany Open dialog for example (which is understandable as this app hasn't targeted mobile or tablet yet as far as I know.)
I use the device to watch online videos, for instant messaging via matrix via #element / #schildichat and it does just fine. I haven't tested it with #zoom or anything but from what I've seen I'm sure it'd do just fine.
Epiphany "Install Website as App" is a great feature -- I have several I've added to my App Menu, Epiphany has always had trouble though being on the lean side. I do wish that I had this option on #firefox ESR, in any case I've just switched to #librewolf again as I prefer it.
I am interesting in comparing phosh to #gnomemobile as I might want to use that instead someday. I have used #plasmamobile and it's hard to put into words in some ways I like it more than phosh, and in other ways I am just not used to the apps -- some apps are just better out of box like their notes app, I like that they have a flashlight button in their top menu. Their UX scaling and fluidity is really good. I am glad that everything is doing such a good job and friendly competition will drive each side to keep improving.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this device on day 1, but I am glad I did. And as I don't have a laptop or like laptops or conventional smartphones very much for me this device is kindof a big deal that I can do basic #linux and #it things on the go along with communication and such without all the headache of android, ios or windows which is not a option for me as linux is just better.
If you think about the #privacy space -- the #libremboot #codeboot is pretty revolutionary to start to see these kinds of firmwares in all in one hardware. And of course this automatic disk encryption is a nice bonus though not something I need as a enthusiast unless maybe I want to travel with the device and protect my data.
People will have different criticisms, and opinions, and I may be easy-going but overall my opinion is that I am pleased with the utility the device offers and I think any rough edges will only get better in the software over time. I may switch the default distro eventually to do some more research and exploring in the linux mobile space -- but it's a little unclear who the big names are worth checking out. I did postmarketos for a while but I feel like the QA is a little all over the place and their package manager is a little difficult to use when I want to check the available software versions, and the phone space is such a mess to try to document and navigate if you are trying to use a previously android device.
I'm also interested in how the #starlabs #starlite5 will compare and contrast in the future. Having used this device I can't recommend something in this size without a keyboard and mouse for more complex usage, I didn't really undestand that the Librem11 keyboard is wired at first, but now that I have figured it out I prefer the simple tech vs overcomplication.
All in all, I think they have a winner, and I expect to get a lot of use out of this as a side rig to my main desktop. Would buy again, and excited to see all the software improvements coming downstream.
