I'm still quite surprised how many people come up with excuses in the comments.

Years ago, Cards Against Humanity admitted their cards were made in China in a factory with standard (shitty) work conditions. They paid for the factory to close and the workers to actually have paid time off, where normally they'd have been redirected to other work. It was a good thing to do, but an even better thing would have been sourcing their work somewhere without those types of labor conditions.

people are still trying to get cucked on reddit? lmao

I took a spill on my bmx with my Apple Watch on, and it detected the fall and it asked for a response from me.

people fail to realize that apple doesn’t own the vast majority of these factories. third party assembly contractors often lie about working conditions, and apple generally has been pretty good about switching companies when issues have been discovered.

and i’m not talking about the issues mentioned in this article, that’s just how working in a high-yield factory generally is. i’m talking about slavery and child labor, or unsafe conditions

yeah, but not enough people would for it to make financial sense

it’s all the same, headlines about apple just generally get people more angry on reddit for some reason

You wouldn't, but the point is to improve peoples lives, so save pay half the hours would help a whole lot with quality of life. Id also say depending on the exact job productivity wound be more than half and quality would be higher. Happy people are better workers

Ever got something made in Germany or Italy vs made in China?

The user was mistaken when they said the fold. The Foldable devices are manufactured in china. The Galaxy Models tho are manufactured in South Korea or Vietnam

And you’re aware that Foxconn also manufactures Motorola phones?

I don't think it's just $500. People forget how expensive computers were in the 1980s where mostly everything was made in the US.

I made sure I turned this feature off. As sad as it is to say, I’d rather limit my contact with any law enforcement officers.

where are those made?

Is the percentage of false detections astronomically low?

I’ve thought about for over landing since my car is a 1990 that barely starts some days in the city… but I can’t justify the cost. If they bring back the mini for the iPhone 15 and it has satellite I may upgrade from my 13

Edit: I use my phone all day everyday and go off-roading maybe a dozen times a year

Yah, in my experience it was always sales overpromising that led to those long 12x7 shifts. "Oh yeah we can get that out easily in 2 days" that sort of shit. When you're making 10x what the average employee in the shop makes (that shop was still doing 10-15% commissions on $100k-500k or so jobs), you tend to be able to drag everyone else around by the dick. Stupid but that's how it was there.

$40/month vs your life during a backpacking/deep wilderness emergency

I'm not sure what else people seriously use an Inreach for.

cuz i want a better quality of life duh

realistically, at low levels of work, there isn’t much to add quality wise either… how high quality can plugging in cables be?

I'm a commercial priting and packaging factory manager. We generally try to minimize 12h shifts but sometimes there are weeks where workers has to go full week 12h shifts Sunday included to make deadline. There are workers who by the end of the year had not used any of their paid day off.

Ofcourse as compensation for the strenuous working condition, they are allowed regular smoke brake with some regulation and we made sure there are enough operators always. And their incomes are considered pretty high by local standard.

just move all smartphone production to the US . . . oh wait, that would mean its 99% robotic/automated and device prices would double . . . .hmmm
