Foxconn Technology Group, is a Taiwanese multinational electronics contract manufacturing company, who make for example (but not limited to) iPhones, iPad, Playstation4, Nintendo Wii U and Amazon Kindle. (Yes really)

 

So this headline caught my eye "Foxconn to build 12 factories, employ 1 million in India"
http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/foxconn-to-build-12-factories-employ-1-million-in-india-115071400464_1.html

 

The production quality might be little questionable at the beginning. So "yay".

Let's not forget shorten the average lifespan of the workers in India too.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

That is kind of the joke, that Foxconn will bring the bad conditions they are known for, where workers kill themselves to escape.

Workers at Foxconn factories works 15 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. 

 

I think Foxconn wants to go fully robotic.

If the robots become self-aware, Foxconn better invest in some better heavy-duty suicide nets.  Knowing Foxconn, I'm sure it's an investment they've already considered.

foxconn is the trash of china, and companies like foxconn are what help make china what it is. 

There's a reason a lot of Chinese people in the tech industry hate Apple. 

India needs more industry, this is not the right kind. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives
