@roddux AI is fantastic for reverse engineering hardware. I used it to decode a flexible Bluetooth LED sign protocol and the commands sent to my Shanling DAC after the display died. Built a CLI and control it from my Mac.
Los que odian el trabajo en corpo es porque no conocen como es en otro lado xD
Corpo es burocrático, es predecible, muchas meets, pero de lejos es el que mas beneficios, salario, work life balance te puede otorgar
I really hope one day we stop playing on hardcore mode in Argentina every time we need to buy new hardware, especially Apple products.
The cheapest way to get a MacBook like this is usually by paying cash to an unofficial reseller. In many cases, you won't get a proper invoice for the purchase, because the device was probably smuggled into the country, so forget about deducting it from your taxes. Also, the warranty starts from the date it was originally purchased, so you could lose several months of official Apple coverage before you even receive it.
If you want to buy in installments, the price goes up a lot. A MacBook like this, that you could buy in Mexico for around $2,166 usd in six installments would cost somewhere between $3,635 usd to $3,801 usd. So you could almost buy TWO of these for the same price you would pay for one in installments here lol
Installments are especially important because most people here earn relatively low salaries, so getting a device like this upfront is simply unrealistic for many.
This actually matters if Argentina wants to stay relevant in the age of AI. We need access to hardware and we need access to good hardware. It shouldn't cost dramatically MORE than it does compared with the rest of the world, the excessive taxes and barriers around our tech will continue to hold us back here.
