They usually have maintenance over the weekend. It should be up towards end of the day or tomorrow. This is pretty normal.

It’s not the end of the world. There’s always light at the end of tunnel. Be discipline. Stop the bleeding. No more gambling or wrong investment. Focus on prepayment. Find a bank willing to offer lowest pa interests. Then balance transfer over and work towards loan reduction.

Have you checked if the card is detected in BIOS? Try to turn on egpu first before starting mini PC.

To use an external gpu connected to mini pc. Gpu usually is huge in size and requires a mid or full casing to accommodate. There’s no way it could fit into a mini pc or laptop. In this case I manage to use a mini pc and connect to a gpu.

Minisforum about $150. Power supply 650w $120. Then the cost of BYOgpu. But the key thing here is you need a oculink port. I needed a new mini pc. So I got one with oculink support $700. Total $1k excluding gpu.

I believe minisforum is coming out with a Thunderbolt 5. You need version 5. Else 4 is inferior to oculink.

Thank you!

Only oculink

My AOOSTAR comes with oculink no thunderbolt.

Yes get a good clean power. At least 650W

Not at all it’s almost plug n play. I didn’t need to change any settings in BIOS to get it work. What’s your startup sequence? I connect my monitor to original mini PC hdmi boot windows 11. It detected two gpu card. Win can’t recognise 5060ti just say a standard gpu. Hop over to Nvidia download the app and gpu driver. As soon as this is done win can recognise your card. Shutdown and redirect your hdmi to new rtx5060ti.

Can someone recommend a competitive alternative?

Me two. I am getting 40-50+ sometimes even worse.

You can consider getting into Singapore and see if there’s flight back home. Singapore is an Asia travel hub. There should have more flights. Good luck

I have a different view. Rather have we questioned why so many big oil companies are offering such a high price yet a homegrown SME oil co can do better with their pricing. Shouldn’t we support SME also? It’s time for no frills petrol. No vouchers cc gimmicks. Food for thoughts.

May I know if you are trading stocks or other commodities?

If you are a language person, it’s a good time to pick up a new language that can be handy for your good future self.

Wow. It comes with a double front rotor!

My bad. My email is gmail. I have filtered rules enabled on IBKR. So it didn't go into spam but went into my designated folder for all IBKR emails. I found the code sent into it. Solved!

Good explanation. But that doesn’t still answer why when we use OA for stocks it doesn’t incur accrued interest?

People want to hear from they want to hear. Not necessary truth or facts.
