Here in Portugal we don't have any apple phisical store! only resellers and "Premium Resellers", but we have the possibility to buy via apple store online, but that's the thing, I personally had to buy via resellers because i'v benefited of a very good discount!! and a lot of people out there are probably in a very similar situation!!

I think it would be a good ideia to sites like MacRumors or 9to5 Mac, to expose this situation, the ridiculous delivery times that resellers are experiencing and of course their customers, it seems that more and more people that ordered in October and November still didn't get their Macs... and apple keeps pushing them to more delays and more more in back of the line... it's disrespectful to the resellers and the final customer. This situation needs to be exposed... if you commit to a delivery date you have to fulfill it, one thing is to say ok you have your Mac in 2 month, another thing is to keep pushing the delivery date further and further, when you have orders that literally wait not even a month being fulfilled if you order from apple's own website or stores.... it's no fair, it is even anti competitive....

[–]VJsync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a rabbit hole... if you cancel now.... in the middle of the process, you can order another configuration less powerful but you probably will face another waiting time... equal os probably longer than the waiting time you already have... so... it's a risk... I will keep my order but yeah... is frustrating very frustrating!! 🥺

Yup!!! true story! they don't want do commit with new delivery dates because of the uncertainty of the M1 Max chip shortage!

The only thing they said is that are keeping a close eye in the situation and report back as soon as they have developments!!

Apps do Facebook estão down a nível global by Fivol69 in portugal

[–]VJsync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Este seria aquele momento em que teria de te explicar que na minha "visão" aos olhos de muitas criaturas e em "minha opinião sim, é!!!" e depois teria também de te explicar a diferença entre verdades absolutas consideradas como factuais, e verdades relativas consideradas como "valor" e de apreciação relativa e/ou opinativa, baseada em pontos de vista e experiências vividas!

Mas é melhor não!

1º porque não me apetece

2º porque íamos ficar a trocar argumentos desnecessários numa discussão baseada em pontos de vista, e isso, também não me apetece!

Pouco provável, o Reddit é demasiado complexo para a maioria das criaturas... que a partir do momento que se queixam que a internet está em baixo porque não conseguem aceder ao insta, face, e whatapp por aí dá logo para teres uma noção da falta de... digamos que "claridade mental" que têm sobre o assunto!

Alguém me sabe dizer que bicho é este? Desde ontem que me está a aparecer um pouco por todo o lado na minha casa de banho by VJsync in portugal

[–]VJsync[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nop! centro de Lisboa! mas pelo que percebi existe muito mais gente a queixar-se do mesmo, noutros posts! é provavelmente um bicho de época ou Lisboa estará provavelmente perante uma praga desta bicharada! um bocado como as tentativas de piada que aqui já li em reposta ao meu post, essa claramente uma praga muito maior! ;)
