change major or become poorer so you get thousands extra in financial aid and don't have to work.

you clearly don't like what you're doing.

if you're not american then you probably get paid to go to school.

Them's the breaks if you're enslaved.

>there are people who literally become debt slaves so they can earn a piece of paper to allow them to gain employment as wage slaves to pay off their new loans

that's not a life worth living

watson is pretty close

as far as consumer AI goes we're still stuck with shit like cortana and siri

Short answer: No

Long answer: How would we know?

>>56121611
It'd be pseudo-consciousness. Full-fledged consciousness is achieved only through brain-like processing units, like the NPU. Since we mainly code our applications and illusio-intelligent systems on computer architectures that look and function differently from the biological brain we may see a true artificial sentience being developed in the far future.

I worked with PHP during 5/6 years and with Python during 3 months (internship), and for me, Python is better.

Both are awful in their own ways.

Apple's Operating Systems Are Malware
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.html

Malware means software designed to function in ways that mistreat or harm the user. (This does not include accidental errors.) This page explains how the software in Apple's computer products are malware.

Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. The difference between free software and nonfree software is in whether the users have control of the program or vice versa. It's not directly a question of what the program does when it runs. However, in practice nonfree software is often malware, because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.

Apple Back Doors

Mac OS X had an intentional local back door for 4 years, which could be exploited by attackers to gain root privileges.
https://truesecdev.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/hidden-backdoor-api-to-root-privileges-in-apple-os-x/

The iPhone has a back door that allows Apple to remotely delete apps which Apple considers “inappropriate”. Jobs said it's OK for Apple to have this power because of course we can trust Apple.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/3358134/Apples-Jobs-confirms-iPhone-kill-switch.html

The iPhone has a back door for remote wipe. It's not always enabled, but users are led into enabling it without understanding.

Apple Censorship

Apple censors games, banning some games from the cr…app store because of which political points they suggest. Some political points are apparently considered acceptable.
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/05/apple-says-game-about-palestinian-child-isnt-a-game

Apple banned a program from the App Store because its developers committed the enormity of disassembling some iThings.
http://ifixit.org/blog/7401/ifixit-app-pulled/

Apple rejected an app that displayed the locations of US drone assassinations, giving various excuses. Each time the developers fixed one “problem”, Apple complained about another. After the fifth rejection, Apple admitted it was censoring the app based on the subject matter.

As of 2015, Apple systematically bans apps that endorse abortion rights or would help women find abortions.
http://mashable.com/2014/02/07/apple-app-tracks-drone-strikes/

This particular political slant affects other Apple services.

Apple Insecurity

A vulnerability in Apple's Image I/O API allowed an attacker to execute malacious code from any application which uses this API to render a certain kind of image file.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/22/stagefright-flaw-ios-iphone-imessage-apple

A bug in the iThings Messages app allowed a malicious web site to extract all the user's messaging history.

QC on it is insane to keep it from fucking up an instrument as fine as a modern printhead

>>56121340
Is is the ink quality or the cartridge quality?

If it's the latter, cant you just make a refillable one?

>>56121360
it's the former.
the cartridge ain't shit.

2gb for $10 cheaper

Support a company who doesn't keep their technology close sourced

>>56121296

Don't forget significantly faster compute, more double precision then the competitions high end, and new API focused performance.

I should become a scientist so I can do that too.

Ya same with cancer cures. Hey new medicine kills tumors! 3 years later... Hey this new pill kills cancer!

Ya k... Fuck u

>>56121695
Don't blame the scientists on this. They do a study, show that compound x has a beneficial effect on cancer, reducing death rates by 10% in rats, and the media reports this as:
CURE FOR CANCER FOUND BY SCIENTISTS

Same shit happens over and over again, especially with food-related things like
CHOCOLATE CURES CANCER, SAYS SCIENTISTS
DRINK RED WINE EVERY DAY AND REDUCE CANCER RISK STUDY SHOWS

And it's like rat studies, or preliminary data, or weak evidence, or some shit like that.

Tell that to everyone else.

Upgrading won't bring a profit in the short term

Runs on literally anything

Costs too much to upgrade OSes

Offline PC's - less risk of viruses

honestly its a cash register who would hack that in the open

>>56121042
XP POS-Ready will have support until the year of the linux desktop

buy a refurbished/used computer

Get a job desu

>>56120978
just download more ram, dumb dumb.

I don't remember what I did all day before 4chan

>>56120768
Look at that guy, he's so happy about his new hardware. Good for you kid :)

To answer your question OP, it's honesty because a lot of the people here share genuine interests of mine, and I appreciate being able to veiw/discuss it.

Normal laptop batteries are 2200mAh each usually, this is like a 50% upgrade plus your batteries have probably aged to -1800mAh each or less so it'll be more than 10 hours

>>56120754
That's reassuring.

One of my biggest fears is fucking up the pack. Is there a special technique to it?

>>56120795

Check forums/Google for similar topic, I'm sure there's dedicated communities to this.
