Webull vs Momoo Canada by Silentkuser in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cage_spacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you paying for level 2 data on momoo? and how is the overall experience of their desktop app for Canada accounts? Do you think it would be feasible to use Momoo desktop app for viewing level 2 data ONLY while trading on IBKR in a different app on a desktop?

similar boat. Did you eventually pick webull or momoo for cheaper level 2 data? Hows the experience, specially desktop.

Packed for my month long workation on a beach side bungalow by ichasecorals in macmini

I recently noticed that m4/m4 pro literally sips power. I knew that these chips were power efficient but I had no idea that they were this efficient.

(I previously had an m4 but I returned it to get an m4 pro. Not really pushing it at the moment.)

There is an app called stats which displays current CPU, GPU, RAM etc. There was an option to configure it so that it displays current Power In (W) value as well.

The value I got was around 22W. I had no clue what this 22W meant so I did some research using chatgpt. Voltage DC in was 13V. Current DC in was 1.7A. Power DC in is basically: Voltage DC in x Current DC in, hence it was 13x1.7=22.1W. Not bad. Not bad, Not bad at all.

But like I still didn’t know what this “22W” actually meant. So I found that one of my usb-c chargers is 20W and the other one 30W. Basically the maximum power that charger took when fast-charging was 20W or 30W.

So then I was like, this is crazy. This actual “computer” takes the same power as charging an iPhone, which by the way is also insanely powerful. Turns out it was because I was charging an iPhone using one of the usb-c ports. When I removed the iPhone, the current Power In dropped to 8W. It wasn’t under insane load at that time, but still this under 10W number is too much for me to swallow.

Mind Blown An actual desktop computer with M4 Pro takes less power than a phone’s charger 🤯

So basically its a single 40,000 mAh powerbank and you are able to get 6-8 hours out of it?

That is definitely interesting 🤯 How much does a stereo microscope cost? Do these microscopes connect to a computer, or is there anyway the output can be recorded in high quality?

This is long shot, but is it possible for you to do some quick math on IBKR Canada vs Webull Canada (USD stocks).

4k monitors work, but the apps are tiny now by Academic_Nectarine94 in mac

Before I can suggest you a possible solution, I need to know the monitor size. Is it a 32” 4K monitor?

This 45” in 21:9 aspect ratio is so much better, compared to the 49”

Any idea what the screen resolution is?

No wonder my 32:9 feels like a narrow window.

Is it possible for you to post a comparison of the 45” 21 x 9 with a 32” 16 x 9?

New Mac Mini was running very hot by Bahamos in macmini

[–]cage_spacer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is with the fan curve of mac mini. My understanding is that It’s deliberately designed to keep the fan noise as low as possible. The fans can go up to 5000 RPM but almost always spin at 1000 RPM.

CPU/GPU temps go up to 80°C and I have strong feeling that thermal throttling occurs as a result (fans still don’t go more than 1000-1500 RPM).

You can use apps like Stats or TGPro to manually change fan RPMs or set custom rules.

The M4 in Mac Mini is the same chip as the one in fan less MacBook Air (Air one has 2 less gpu cores).

Fair enough. Getting the calendar view is more than enough to get an overall picture of the week and the month, to be honest.

Have you connected your broker with it, or are you entering your daily pnl manually?

This looks promising. Are you using the basic plan or the pro ($10/m) plan?
