why cant i make a playlist on apple music and then play it on my phone? why doesnt apple music add songs ive played to the recently played playlist in itunes? why does adding a playlist only work if i click the + button (with no tooltip or otherdescription) but not when i click 'add to playlist' via the context menu? how the gently caress is this interface even worse than spotify in alkost every way imaginable

Linguica posted:All three free months of Apple Music has done is convince me I should probably just pay for Spotify yes as much as the playlists are cool the fact that I can't start listening to them on my PC then get in the truck and have zero playlists kind of ruins it. At least Spotify was consistent between devices. The Spotify playlists kind of suck but my biggest gripe is I couldn't just browse a list of bands and you can't do that in Apple Music anyway so maybe time to re-up my Spotify premium account

thread got stymied so hard. you should be embarassed, as should whoever designed the apple music interface, and as i should be for continuing to pay for it. the playlists are killer but thats literally the only feature i use. beats radio sucks rear end theres already plenty of top40 stations

Dodoman posted:even for normal people they're pretty bad Yeah I have no problem if you want to believe that apple will somehow eventually stay competitive with intel to some extent (on mobile only) since intel is so far behind on mobile compared to their desktop and server chips, but to pretend that amd is somehow key to this as more than a husk of a company with an x86 license is hilarious. amd is basically 1 or 2 bad quarters away from going concern warnings on their financials and hasnt made a competitive chip in a decade

credit card fees dont come out of the waiters tips when you laeve them on a card, but they generally are included on the w-2 whereas cash tips have to rely on being declared (although some states require a baseline of 10% of cash sales to be declared unless overidden by a manager). so yeah its more about taxes than anything. i used to prefer getting credit card tips so the restaraunt would just give me cash at the end of my shift and i wouldnt have to make change or w/e

he is absolutely right though. They pay what is owed and they have no further obligations beyond that, whether legal or ethical. the government is not a charity, they set the rules and take what they want. whether you personally feel they should pay higher taxes is another issue but it's your problem not tims one interesting thing is that there is already a mechanism established to prevent corporations from acquiring huge cash hoards called the accumulated earnings tax. however it is not applied to publicly held companies due to the fact that they don't really accrue benefits just for one person.the us has a really weird system of corporate taxation

he is calling it political crap because that's what it is. "sophisticated scheme" is juat a politically charged way of saying "doing taxes legally like every other company" but people cry about it because they think it should be more

Pinterest Mom posted:
I agree but "sophisticated tax planning" is a more neutral way of saying that since "tax avoidance scheme" is pretty obviously trying to appeal to people who don't know the difference between tax avoidance and evasion and "scheme" further implies that this hasn't been legal, run of the mill, established tax planning for multinationals for years Also technically you didn't avoid state taxes you evaded them unless you paid use tax. Which I'm sure everyone here does on their out of state purchases

yeah the 2 situations are basically that investors would bitch bc they would get lower returns or everyone else would bitch bc their apple products would cost more im honestly not sold on the idea of a corporate income tax anyway, i think the earnings should be distributed and the shareholders should be responsible since they ultimately benefit. but, the earnings will not be distributed under the current system for several reasons including the fact of double taxation on both the income by the corporation and the dividend by the shareholder, the fact that it can't be brought back to the us without being recognized as income. the system as is favors retaining funds verses distributing them and favors debt over equity in many cases since interest is tax deductible. which is why apple and other companies have spent the last few years borrowing money to pay for dividends or stock buy backs instead of using their own cash hoards and incurring taxes. it is kind of funny looking at apples market cap and realizing that its bascially a third cash. also remember that they are only deferring payment on these taxes, not permanently avoiding them

PleasureKevin posted:i actually kind of hate this attitude. it's kind of like saying, it is the legal right of every individual and corporation to emit as much CO2 as they need to do business. yeah, it is their legal right, but that does not make it ethical. can't companies make financial and tax decisions because they are ethical the same way they make environmental ones? tim cook has said "if you don't want us doing green stuff, get out of the stock." he could just as well say "if you want a tax avoider, get out of the stock." no this analogy doesn't hold up at all. it has nothing to do with ethics and can't be compared to willingly destroying the environment. calling someone a tax avoider is a really stupid term. it's proper financial decision making for me to deduct my mortgage interest, state income taxes, property taxes, etc which the government explicitly allows me to do, and if I instead for some reason just claimed the standard deduction it doesn't mean I am superior morally or ethically it just means I'm bad with money and as a result have overpaid

Locker Room Zubaz posted:what incentive does apple have to lose almost half of its overseas money by repatriation? they can get loans at like 2% interest rates and just keep that money overseas to deal with expenses there and wait for the tax code to be fixed. People shouldn't get mad at Apple and Buffet for paying exactly what they are required to pay, they are symptoms of a problem of a lovely tax code that needs to be updated to actually reflect how the modern economy works. I don't think morals can really be applied to tax burdens and stuff yep and that's pretty much what Tim Cook is saying, it's political crap to attack them for following the rules when the governments responsibility is to set and enforce those rules. Of course they have better things to do like try to repeal obamacare for 70th time

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:yeah corps aren't subject to notions of human morality but they also don't need to be defended by fanboys against political attacks as though their human feelings are hurt. apple is a convenient example of a large company that pays less US tax than joe voter might consider fair, and politicians using them as an example to advocate for corporate tax reform is perfectly valid since any eventual law changes would be applied equally to their fellow multinationals. hardly a fanboy I'm just pointing out that Tim Cook happens to be correct about how retarded the us corporate tax code is and if anything he didn't go far enough in his criticism.

apple music still sucks rear end. when i favorite a song it doesnt show up anywhere unless i download it and have it in my library so what is the point of favoriting anything if i can't go back and listen to it later? also the recently played feature doesn't include any songs listened to via streaming, you ahve to download songs and play them from your library to have them show up playlists on my phone and my pc are completely different and don't carry over 'my music' on my phone and pc are comlpetely different and don't carry over this software is real bad. im glad that they are spending all their money trying to support their stock price by taking on massive debt to fund buybacks and dividends instead of giving a poo poo about the products they also need better menus than 'for you' and 'new' since the way the navigation works you end up playing an album in one of those tabs most of the time it would be nice not to have to go like 10 menus deep to get to an album
