Xiaomi TV Apologizes for That False “Beijing Haidian Earthquake” Alert
On the evening of June 23, Xiaomi TV rushed out an apology and clarification: At 8:15 PM, some Xiaomi TV users in Beijing and nearby areas got a jarring earthquake alert. Turns out, our R&D team accidentally pushed internal simulation test data into the live environment while testing a feature. The alert was completely made‑up test data, not an official real earthquake warning, and there’s zero earthquake risk in the area right now. We caught the bogus message immediately, and we’re overhauling the entire alert release process and test environment setup. We really are sorry for the scare this caused.

WPS Addresses C Drive Storage Worries: Fixes Are on the Way
On June 23, a lot of folks online complained that Kingsoft Office’s WPS was hogging too much space on the C drive, making their PCs sluggish. Others were just plain confused about how to clean it up or stop it from happening. In response, Kingsoft Office said it’s pulled together a special team to dig into the issue, explain what’s going on, and offer concrete fixes. The company made it clear: all the following fixes are free and don’t need a membership. First, you can change the storage location—inside the WPS cloud drive settings or the “File – Backup & Restore – Backup Center” menu, you can point the cache and backup storage to a different disk. Second, you can manually clear out local caches and backups; deleting those local copies won’t touch files already saved in the cloud. And when you’re installing WPS, you can always pick a custom install path.

While that happens, the original Black Shark community is temporarily offline. Going forward, core discussion sections, archived content, and the Black Shark Store’s product browsing and checkout functions will be folded into the “Black Shark Gearbox” app piece by piece. Once the full store is live, they’ll also add a new “After‑Sales Service” section, supporting online trade‑ins for older devices and more.
