Imagine if people from dubai complained about having to pay import taxes to bring a few extra ferraris into the states, we would call them insane, yet a macbook is likely many months comfortable living in most of mexico.

ah yes, correct. I don't know if disassembly is required for the HWID when its forced into bootloader lock, and i am not going to experiment to find out haha. But yes correct reasoning.

I recently saw a wonderful youtube video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_L1oN8y7Bs

Title: Herculaneum scrolls: A 20-year journey to read the unreadable

it goes a little bit into the technology of how this was done, deep learning finally cracked the code. They had the scans for a decade but it took ML training to be able to identify which parts were paper and which parts were the ink on top. This had been done on a different set of scrolls with easier to read higher contrasting materials like the video says, 20 years ago. Deep learning is cracking the code for these datasets we had previously thought were impossible to algorithmically solve.

The author makes a horrible assumption themselves right in their opening argument that "most of the things you are trying to do have been done already". How is a business going to find value copying and pasting sql solutions from stack overflow as honestly suggested by the article author? Horrible advice, pick the correct tool for the job, sometimes that tool is brand new because you are doing something brand new. The author completely avoids the real question which is how to select what new technology to use by saying only choose old technology.
