After the failure late at night on November 27, Didi issued an apology statement in the early morning of the same day: Due to a system failure, the Didi App service was abnormal, which was urgently repaired by technical students and is currently being restored one after another. Sorry again for the inconvenience caused to users and drivers.

On the morning of November 28, Didi Chuxing issued an apology announcement again, saying that after the technical team repaired overnight, Didi’s online car-hailing and other services have been restored, and users can download the Didi App to use the taxi service. Cycling and other services are still being repaired one after another. All green and orange vehicles that can be unlocked or unlocked can ride for free, hoping to do a little more to relieve the pressure of the morning peak.

System failure "collapse on hot search"

Didi refutes rumors in time

Late at night on November 27, the collapse of the Didi APP led to a large number of user feedback and complaints, which attracted market attention. Multiple entries such as #Didi broke down #and #Didi employees said that the intranet also broke down when the system crashed were listed on Weibo’s trending topic list.

Judging from the feedback from netizens, the failure performance is various: there are APP network abnormalities, unable to log in, and some unable to check out and arrive. The driver also has problems such as "unable to start the journey" and "unable to click to receive passengers".

In the midst of the panic, some rumors also began to emerge. For example, some netizens posted that the background income balance of the contracted driver showed 69387199691.71 yuan. In response, Didi Chuxing responded that after verification, it was confirmed that the picture was a rumor forged by PS, and I implore everyone not to spread rumors or rumors.

In response to reports that some drivers began to withdraw cash, drivers said they were afraid of a problem with the system and their account would be cancelled. Didi Chuxing said that after checking the driver’s account and withdrawal function, everything was normal, and the majority of drivers did not need to worry.

Didi Chuxing said that the Didi platform is to withdraw cash every Tuesday, and drivers with high service levels can withdraw cash every day. According to the chat of multiple driver groups, many Didi drivers said that they have successfully withdrawn cash. I implore you not to spread rumors or spread rumors.

Didi said in the announcement that drivers are requested to pay attention to the fact that starting from Monday night, due to system reasons, the issuance of relevant rewards that have been received or purchased will be delayed. The platform will calculate normally, make up the money one after another, and the word-of-mouth value travel points will also be calculated normally, and the display will resume one after another. Individual drivers and masters have reported that they cannot start the journey and billing after receiving passengers. Please pick up and drop off passengers normally and deliver them to the destination safely. The platform will calculate and reissue the fare according to the itinerary in the future.

In terms of passenger rights and interests, Didi said that the coupons in the user account can be used normally. If the coupons in the passenger account are not valid due to the failure and the user pays the original price, the system will automatically deduct the coupons and refund the same way after the failure is restored (the same amount of coupons).

"Please don’t worry about the abnormal payment of fees and multiple deductions caused by the system failure. Please be patient. We will settle the compensation uniformly after the accident is dealt with," Didi said.

According to Didi’s latest financial report, its R & D expenses in the third quarter were RMB 2.10 billion, accounting for 4.1% of total revenue, compared with RMB 2.50 billion in the third quarter of 2022, accounting for 6.2% of total revenue. Didi said that the decrease in R & D expenses as a percentage of revenue was mainly related to the decrease in the company’s smart car business product development expenses.

Conquer the problem of sound quality and thickness! Casarte Mural TV: Ultra-thin and good sound quality

  Nowadays, music variety shows such as "Summer of the Band" are not available, but watching music shows on TV always seems to be just passable. This is because under the trend of "thinner and lighter" TV, some brands choose the built-in small-size speaker unit in order to pursue the ultra-thin body. The listening experience is disappointing, and it is difficult to produce surround immersion sound effects, so it cannot resonate with the audience.

  Casarte conquered the problem of sound quality and thickness, bringing ultra-thin and good sound quality. Casarte Mural TV not only has the best 5.2.2 sky sound in the industry, but also cooperates with 122W
The combination of super-high-power speakers and independent audio perception processing chips has raised the level of TV sound quality to a new level. At the same time, it integrates true art and technology, and transforms the TV into a mural through zero-paste design and flat-mount technology, creating a more artistic and technological living space for users.

    Sound quality and thickness are difficult to balance? Casarte TV brings ultra-thin and good sound quality

  When users buy a TV, they are nothing more than considering the two levels of "sound and painting". However, looking at the technological development of the TV industry, the image quality has changed from SD and high definition to the current 4K and 8K ultra-high definition, opening the door to "new horizons" for users. However, the development of sound quality is difficult to break through, and it has become a shortcoming of TV technology change. In order to pursue ultra-thin bodies, some brands choose built-in small-size speaker units, resulting in poor sound bass, good sound quality and ultra-thin appearance are difficult to balance.

  Nowadays, under the trend of ultra-thin TVs, the space of TV audio boxes is too small, which leads to these four factors affecting the sound quality of TVs: First, the configuration of sound units, such as the limited configuration of sound units, cannot ensure that the sound forms enough reflections in the cavity, resulting in too much noise or not enough sound. Second, the audio power, the more powerful the speaker can release higher sound clarity and better sound effects; third, the sound quality processing chip, intelligently optimize the sound source and transmission method, effectively improve the sound signal strength, and the sound is more powerful. Fourth, the influence of the sound field, the sound emitted by the TV will be continuously reflected by the wall, ceiling and furniture before entering the ear. Only with a high sound field adjustment ability can users upgrade the immersive surround sound experience.

  In order to overcome the problem of TV sound quality and thickness, Casarte has undergone 5,000 hours of research and development and 1,000 acoustic simulation tests to solve three major challenges in the industry.

  First of all, in the audio speaker arrangement, Casarte TV boldly dismantles the main board of the whole machine, prioritizes the placement of the speaker position and the speaker position is all forward, breaking the current industry example of the bass speaker vibrating backwards through the wall, and raising the level of TV audio configuration. It also avoids the embarrassing appearance design of ordinary TV under thick and thin.

  Secondly, the TV sound quality level is full in the audio and picture configuration. Through 2 super audio 31 sound units, 9 cabinets are formed to complete the 50-60Hz bass band that is currently missing in high-end TVs, and refresh the 122w super power speaker. Bring the best 5.2.2 sky sound in the TV industry, and inject soul into the picture. Finally, through the independent audio perception processing chip, the independent switch gain control of each channel, intelligently optimize the adjustment of YPAO
V2.0 three-dimensional sound field, obtaining richer sound field effects, presenting users with immersive high-level surging sound.

    More artistic living space, more technological wisdom family

  In the trend of integrated home space, TVs must have both functional attributes and artistic taste. Casarte TV believes that sound quality is the soul of the picture, and aesthetics is the core of the living room to create a more artistic appearance. In terms of design, the thickness of the mural TV is only 49mm, and the design as thin as a mural can be perfectly integrated into the home environment; on the built-in, through the Residence Art Museum APP, there are a large number of built-in artworks for consumers to choose from. You can choose Monet’s world of light and shadow or Picasso’s abstract paintings to add a touch of color to the beauty of the home, so that it is a TV when turned on and a work of art when standby.

  While Chat GPT opens up more imagination space for artificial intelligence, Casarte TV also opens up imagination space for home wisdom scenes. It is not only a member of the smart living room scene, but also the entrance and brain of the smart home. It can be connected with
More than 9,000 smart home appliances are interconnected, enabling one-screen connectivity for the whole family. They can also be connected to the whole house scene, providing whole-house air, whole-house water, smart living room, and smart kitchen solutions, allowing users to experience the beautiful life of the digital intelligence era.

  For example, when you sit on the sofa and start watching a movie, the TV will automatically resume the content you didn’t watch last time. Users don’t have to get up to control the water heater by voice, and start preparing water according to the temperature you are used to. The heating progress can also be monitored in real time by Casarte TV, and the operation status of the whole house appliances is under control.

  The original intention of choosing TV is to enjoy the audio-visual experience of audio-visual integration at home. The need for upgrading sound quality technology should also be the focus of brand attack. Among many brands, Casarte TV has not only solved the problem of sound quality with its own technological advantages, but also created a mural TV with artistic and technological sense for users, leading the innovation direction of the industry, and also expanding new growth space for high-end TV.

Before this, China Hengda also had a bad news, its update overseas workout news said that in view of the subsidiary Hengda Real Estate is being investigated, China Hengda is currently unable to meet the issuance qualification of new notes.
