Interesting! More details on this please? like what country and how the prices compare.. This doesn't seem to be available on Apple's online stores in Scandinavia.
It was in Verkkokauppa (finnish version of amazon, crudely speaking) in Finland. They were marked as refurbished on the storepage but the boxes came sealed with 4 cycles on the battery and no visible sign of use (I think I ran some utility to check for SSD usage and it was pretty low but I didn't do it immediately after turning on can't base anything off that).
Either apple refurbished a product return and then resold back through Verkkokauppa? The machine came with Sonoma 14.3 or 14.4 which is well after the November 2023 manufacturing date. But sealed box threw me off, cause the unboxing felt exactly the same as for a brand new macbook. Warranty I got from the store is also the same you would get for a brand new item.
nonetheless, the value is great. 24/512 14inc M4 Pro costs 2500eur in Finland brand new for reference and I got this M3 Max for 2999
It's most likely factory refurbished by Apple. You can buy these directly from Apple, and I've seen them in small quantities on third party resellers but I'm not sure how they're sourced.
In 2017, the United States Department of Education accused Frank of potentially misleading customers.
In 2018, Javice was sued by Adi Omesy, a co-founder of Frank, over wage theft in Israel.
And much more.
How did the bank ignore all those red flags? and how do serial criminals and fraudulent 'founders' like her kept getting praise in the media and funding for their scams? Seems more like a flaw in the system that rewards sociopaths.
What a nice well made tool. I was shocked how massive Algeria is! Maybe larger than half of Europe. And Tunisia which is a tiny country in my head, seems to be not tiny at all.
Why would Algeria's land size have anything to do with that?
Algeria is more than 80% desert and has a population of ~46 million. Non-desert area accounts for ~480k km^2 out of their ~2400k km^2 land . Europe has far more livable space than Algeria does. Spain is pretty comparable with a population of ~48 million in 505k km^2.
I get that there are political reasons, but "Algeria is big so Algerians shouldn't need to leave" is a pretty surface-level observation.
I don't think the poster meant it as a revenge thing. France at some point made it illegal to deny the Frenchness of Algeria, you could go to prison for this back then. The two countries have had a very long history of close relations with its all ups and downs, and many French lived in Algeria and Algerian lived in France. I have no connection to either of those countries I'm just interested in history.
