The retaliatory move means companies and individuals in Hong Kong will have to pay private couriers such as DHL, FedEx and UPS to deliver packages, further driving up costs for consumers on top of US levies.
A DHL spokesman told CNN that it will continue to process shipments to the US, monitor the situation and work with customers to help them keep up with latest changes. FedEx said it's "business as usual." CNN has reached out to UPS for comment.

That bracket comes with lots of screws and several heights of standoff, so I'm guessing some combination should work.
Once you have it working, let us know how it went. At this point I'm considering a strip of Velcro ;-) but mine is an inelegant solution and will probably be aggravating over time.
As the monitor doesn't have resale value, maybe I'll just drill some sort of frame onto the back and velcro to that. I've got all kinda random pieces of computers laying around that I could use.
Good to know the amazon bracket didn't work, thanks for sharing, that saves the rest of us an order.
I too had W11p 21H2. I plan on doing a fresh install, so not updating. It actually hasn't seen the internet yet.
The real test is to see where we are in a couple of years of use. I don't have objective data, but there are plenty of stories out there about Minisforum minipcs failing within a year or two.
Mine will wake from sleep for about 20 minutes after it going to sleep. After that I have to use the power button to turn it on again. This is sub-optimal for a behind-the-monitor mounted minipc. It just won't work.
I looked on the Minisforum website and there is no updated BIOS, no BIOS at all, just a 2023 drivers package. The BIOS link gives an error screen:
https://www.minisforum.
Though I did find the same BIOS on this Japanese website:
https://merideri.com/um560-valorant (scroll to mediafire link)
Unfortunately that BIOS is dated 2022.
Also, the BIOS is abysmal. There are almost no settings. I read some Reddit posts that claim ALT+F5, then save and restart will "unlock" advanced BIOS settings, but this is not working for me. Geeze, my AMD Lenovo laptop has far more BIOS settings.
Anybody have luck with getting the advanced BIOS settings to appear?
I want you to know that the computer shipped and arrived earlier than the quoted time and from the United States.
Everything about it was as described, from the computer model, the ship date and the shipment location (USA, free of tariffs). I say this because your histrionics were not appreciated and were a disservice to anybody this computer could've been good for, but who were dissuaded by you spouting incorrect information.
I hold you personally accountable for having done a disservice to the users of Slickdeals.

Or has anyone discovered a way to access to the advanced BIOS settings?
