In February, following lobbying from Apple, Foxconn, and other companies, the Indian state Karnataka loosened its labor laws to allow for 12-hour work shifts, according to the Financial Times. Foxconn plans to build two new factories in the state.

Well, well, well. So, it's the exploitive work culture that's the main issue.

Another worker, Rajalakshmi, said her target is to inspect 526 motherboards every hour.

That's less than 7 seconds for each motherboard. Might as well not check.

Seems like if a human is only getting 9 seconds you're better off with a computer thst just takes a pic and compares it to a reference image.
