modern slavery, capitalism--, child labor, sexual misconduct @alina

Apple used uyghur forced labor camps for assembly of their devices

Dell was part of the Congo cobalt child labor lawsuit alongside Apple

HPs ex-ceo has been ousted for sexual misconduct, they weaponize printers to die on you so that you have to turn perfectly working hardware into landfill decor

ASUS ran a warranty fraud operation caught by Gamers Nexus in 2024, where it invented out of warranty damage claims on devices brought in for valid warranty repairs

LG was also part of the forced uyghur labor camp thing because they used that for laptop assembly. Also they got criminally convicted for cartel operation

Acer is ALSO part of the uyghur forced labor camp thing and also they stored credit card data unencrypted which then inevitably got stolen

there are no good companies

there are no "non-shit" big companies

every sufficiently large company is soulless

it's just this one lets me repair my laptop

re: modern slavery, capitalism--, child labor, sexual misconduct @star @alina competition in liberal capitalism feels like prisoners dilemma and a race to the bottom pf standards and morale. whoever abuses more (and gets away with it) wins. be a monopoly and you can leech infinitely
