Explain to me how this wasn't a smart move by Apple.
Pro tip: you can't
>inb4 apple sucks op is a fag
I for one actually like this phone and above all that I only paid 150$ for it.
>>59502544
it was the best phone apple ever put out... although black iphone 5 is better in desing IMHO
Where did you get it for $150?
>>59502619
It was with my Verizon upgrade. If I went with the 6s or 7 I would've been looking at 250-300$.
How do we make the internet a healthier place, /g/?

Start by burning agenda-driven SJW tech companies to the ground.
>>59502560
this, and obliterate DRM, endorse free software, and condemn invasion, via by ads or by companies like google

>The electronics giant sold $4.2 billion (NZD) worth of products in New Zealand, but it didn't pay any local tax at all. That's according to a Saturday report from the New Zealand Herald. Apple did pay $37 million in income tax based on its New Zealand sales, but it paid that money to the Australian government, since that's where the New Zealand operation is run from.
>The arrangement to send the tax on New Zealand profits to Australia has been in place since at least 2007. Experts confirmed the arrangement is legal under New Zealand law.
>"They're operating completely legally," said Deborah Russell, a university lecturer who was recently selected to be a candidate in the New Zealand Labour Party. "It's just that age-hold distinction between legality and morality."
>John Payne, a spokesman for a New Zealand business lobby called the Corporate Taxpayers Group, said the same tax techniques used by Apple are used by local exporters.
>"It's Tax 101 in terms of activity," Payne told the newspaper. "And it's quid pro quo for us when we're operating similarly in another country."
>The Herald calculated that, if Apple had "reported the same healthy profit margin in New Zealand as it did for its operations globally," it would have paid $356 million NZD in taxes.
>"Apple aims to be a force for good, and we're proud of the contributions we've made in New Zealand over the past decade," an Apple Australia representative told the newspaper. "Because our products and services are created, designed and engineered in the US. That's where the vast majority of our tax is paid."

Why do I care about corporations devising clever, yet legal ways to avoid needlessly having their money stolen by wasteful federal entities?
NZ can't be that bothered by it else they'd change their laws.
>>59502514
The average apple user, everyone.
>>59502480
They don't pay any taxes in the US, either. Unless the spokesperson was referring to sales tax and payroll tax and such. It's all laundered through Ireland.
Matter can only produce emergent properties. Emergent properties don't exist; that is, they only exist as ideas. There is no such thing as mind-independent, objective emergent properties, in the same way there is no such thing as mind-independent, objective information. Only the mind gives these things meaning. The mind exists; this is self-evident. Thus the mind isn't an emergent property. Thus the mind can't be produced by matter. Thus the mind is immaterial. Computers can't produce immaterial things. Thus computers can't produce minds.
It can be deduced, not just induced, that matter cannot produce consciousness, because there is no such objective thing as "emergent properties." An electron, or any number of electrons, passing between any number of points, in any permutation, through any combination or permutation of mediums, cannot produce consciousness, because of the simple fact that matter is never objectively more than its parts.
The mind necessarily precedes quantification. Without it, no computation even has any meaning.

>>59502396
A fine argument, but I think you missed one consideration: What if consciousness is, has always been, and will always be present, but what humans experience as consciousness only occurs when it gains something to focus on?
I would argue that the "Mind" as you call it is nothing more than consciousness, which doesn't have any computing power, but instead merely allows a person to look at the "logs" of the brain, which does have a great deal of computing power, and to experience reality through them.
Humans are born as a result of matter interacting with other matter, so at some point during the formation of the brain, either consciousness(a non-physical entity) was created during the(purely physical) process of human development as a result of the interaction of matter, which we both likely find implausible, or it gained something to focus on, some "logs" to read at some point during the process.
If the brain can somehow bind to a consciousness or create one, why can't a computer that works on different principles? Would you say that a fully accurate, particle-level simulation of the brain is conscious? Or are you claiming that there something unique to organic matter that allows it to be called a mind rather than a computer?
babby's first philosophy
>>59502396
You're assuming that emergent properties don't exist just because they are external to the mind. You are right that one cannot find existence of them through reduction to material particles. But you're making the same mistake many gaytheists make, in assuming locality.
If you make the jump to non-locality, and realize that the emergent properties are encoded in the configuration of the material particles and not the particles themselves, and that this encoding is in fact substrate independent and can be transferred from one medium to another, or transformed from one configuration to another, as information in the abstract, than you are now on the right track.
Now consider the following postulate: Information is the neutral monism from which everything emerges, including matter. It's matter that emerges from information, not vice versa.

Today we live in the instant gratification era, where you can show a product that is 25% finished and make a ton of money convincing people it's on its way to glory.
Just look at ouya or star citizen.
So yes, just finish a project a quarter of the way, make some mock final product shots, ?????, PROFIT

Been oogling on this tablet coming out
>Lenovo Tab 4 8" (or 10") plus
>Snapdragon 625

>8" 199$ with 4850mAh
>10" 249$ with 7000mAh
Is this the best tablet in a while coming out? Snappy 625 is pretty good. A 7k mAh battery for it will make the battery time hold forever without charging.
What do you think /g/?

Nvidia Shield with Bluetooth keyboard holder or a Thinkpad X220/t420?

Where can I buy a prebuilt gaming computer, with lifetime service, Im tired of having computers that work 98% of the time, but randomly bluescreens or freezes, I had a dead hard drive in it and I took it out and now the computer cant post at all. I can provide more detail if interested.
>can't troubleshoot the one of most ubiquitous piece of tech on the planet
>gayming
just get out.
The motherboard says ff right before the computer turns off, it only stays on for one to five seconds before turning itself off again, ive tried with different combinations of my hard drives plugged in because thats what I was fucking with before I broke it.

Why havn't you made a portable computer yet?
Think of all the possibilities...
https://austin.craigslist.org/sys/6033525802.html
Also is this a good deal?
I am thinking about buying it, Ive never had a portable desktop.
>>59501464
actually i have
i have a samsonite carbon fibre briefcase
the interior of it was rubbish so i gutted it, drilled mounting holes, mounted mitx board and keyboard and a slim server psu and a low profile gpu and a monitor to the inside of it
veryyyyy similar to pic in OP except mine looked far more reasonable
too bad the parts were low power
maybe ill build another in the future using 3d printed mounts but thats a lot of work for something less appealing than even a tablet
By definition, a laptop is portable.
This thread is stupid.
