Ah thank you! That's actually quite a bit lower than I would've expected. Especially how it lags behind the rest in write perf.
Also found this geerling review [0] today (which mentions yours as well) which does list slightly higher numbers but he notes that he used actual thermal paste to get better cooling with that gaping heatsink box, which seems to have helped on at least a few fronts. If your cooling theory about the G2 holds, then the memory might be overheating on the X4.
There wasn’t any easy way to cool the RAM itself - in fact, I wouldn’t try to cool it using the same heatsink since the CPU would likely transfer heat to the RAM.
I suspect this is just a matter of timing tweaks in the BIOS.
Yeah it does have the 2242 slot, but anything larger won't fit, nor will PCIe risers.
That aside, it does have some impressive specs (twin ufl ports for external wifi antennas are dope), even though the LPDDR5 is bottlenecked by a dumb 32 bit bus. I was looking to buy one the other day but it's currently out of stock everywhere and the 12/16 GB versions that would be most interesting are nowhere to be seen, so for now it's not really something anyone can buy.
The current Model Y in production is known to have significantly better suspension than Model Ys produced 2020-2022. If you have an older Model Y, you can upgrade the suspension (cost about $2k with installation).
During my first job out of college, I was assigned to maintain an ancient Windows codebase. A few different groups of people had been assigned to maintain this specific website and the people responsible before me had hardcoded secrets in the compiled executables but had excluded them from the source code. My experience using hex editors from tinkering with old video games (Diablo 2) gave me the skills to extract the secrets for work.
I'll try this out! I use a Slack DM with myself to persist scratch notes. The main benefit of this is that I'd easily be able to view notes on my phone and other computers.
