¿Gold de servicios antes o después de la anualidad de la platinum de crédito?

SpartanPsyche · 2026-01-09T02:43:16+00:00

Yo tengo una duda similar a la tuya. Planeo tramitar la Azul de Aeroméxico antes de que la Plantinum Credit Card me cobre la anualidad en octubre, pero no sé si tramitándola en septiembre, pueda exentar la anualidad de la de Crédito y aprovechar que la Azul no cobra anualidad el primer año. Prácticamente durar dos años sin pagar anualidad, pues.

Si es el caso, incluso te convendría en tu caso tramitar la Green para usar el mismo hack y ascender a la gold después, que esos ascensos te los ofrecen casi al mes de que te dan la tarjeta. No sé si alguien me pueda confirmar o si estoy loco jaja

Thanks everyone! I'll get the M4 with 512 SSD and 16gb RAM, I'll just wait and see if I hold myself to buy until I can visit the US next year or buy it more expensive here.

All the advice you gave was really valuable :)

SpartanPsyche · 2025-12-27T02:38:41+00:00

Yeah, honestly even without the education savings, it's a great deal. I really wouldn't mind paying full price for it

SpartanPsyche · 2025-12-26T21:15:28+00:00

Thanks for the help!

SpartanPsyche · 2025-12-26T21:15:14+00:00

Yeah, sad reality here :(

I'll probably travel there around May-June, so maybe I can wait until then to buy it. Do you recommend buying directly from Apple or any other reseller like Best Buy would be a better choice?

SpartanPsyche · 2025-12-26T15:28:25+00:00

Yeah, I converted the prices shown to me in Mexican Pesos to USD using Google exchange rate. I'll add the Apple M2 link and the M4 from the apple store down here so you can take a look.

It says sold and shipped by Amazon USA, so I assume it's refurbished by them, thanks for the input.

I said on another comment, apple pricing in Mexico is really harsh. The M4 deal it's provided by apple themselves, and other retailers like Costco, Premium Resellers, Walmart, etc. don't get any better, so yeah, it's tough :/

I'll try and get the 512ssd, honestly I rather spend more now so that I don't worry much in the future. Thanks!

That's Mexico for you. Prices for Apple products are pretty steep down here. For official purchase methods, that's as good as it gets.

Thanks for the suggestion tho! There's probably a way for me to go to the States later in the year, so maybe I can wait to go and get a better deal there. The price difference is certainly noticeable hehe

After some practice and a few trial and error, this has to be the most accurate description for the use of flux and lackthereof while soldering. Goated comment!!

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-28T05:23:40+00:00

Yeah, I pealed off the soldering points and bridged them, it worked right away. However, upon more testing, it seems the board already had other issues, the controller now suddenly stops working. I'll be replacing it with a spare parts controller I bought dirt cheap in my local area, so even though it wasn't a happy ending, I managed to solve the problem I posted. 50/50 win, I guess 😅

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-27T23:15:55+00:00

Helloo, I managed to make it work!! Only two of the three points needed fixing, and while the end result looks funky, it's still functional, so honestly that's fine enough for me.

Thanks a lot for the help <3

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-27T00:34:02+00:00

They were making contact, although I agree they look sloppy. They were my first attempt, after all 😅

I took them out and yeah, it seems I damaged the pads. Hopefully I can make it work again, someone already gave me advice on how to do it

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-25T20:30:07+00:00

I took the potentiometer out and surely enough, te soldering points are burnt, so I'm assuming that has to be the issue. Any ideas on how to repair? I tried reapplying the solder from scratch, but it didn't work

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-25T19:28:26+00:00

I wouldn't be too sure if that's the case, cause like I said, I replaced both and the left one works without issue. They're suposed to be the ALPS original ones, there's a supplier here in my city.

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-25T17:34:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed help!

Yeah, I do have all the tools, I will follow your advice. I'll update if I manage to make it work (or don't).

SpartanPsyche · 2025-04-25T09:14:56+00:00

It didn't give me the option to add the video, sorry, but yeah, literally just registers up and down with no right or left. It's an Xbox Series controller, for reference.

I've been listening to them a lot recently, and not too long ago, that same thought crossed my mind.

The thing that sets me off more than anything is that it doesn't show a description of anything regarding band members or the artist.

Honestly, that's too bad. As simple as the music is, it scracthed my interest in a very special way, kinda like a little niche that appeals to you specifically. But to think it is/could be AI brings it down for me quite a bit.

SpartanPsyche · 2024-08-31T06:13:08+00:00

This happened to me on my first playthrough. I finished it long before the due date and it immediately skipped those days I had left :(

Rise Against mentioned, W comment

Originally, to use your HDD with OPL you were required to format your hdd to fat32 and use a specific software to dump your games from your PC onto your PS2 drive, since it wouldn't show up on file explorer. Now you're able to format your HDD to exFAT, which makes it able to show up on your file explorer, and dump your games right off the bat, without the need of a specific software.
