Something like 10 years ago I used to have a fox conn motherboard in my computer. It was their own brand name and everything, I had never heard of them before and just thought it was some two bit little outfit
I had a sata cable made by them in my first computer which was from compaq i liked the name and did some research and at time i knew how big it was and how big it will get
Question to the viewers: Please recommend me some TechAltar-like channel, which focuses more on the analytical part of tech rather than just unboxings and reviews. I have been trying to make more content like that and felt I should consume more content like that.
One such channel is GaryExplains where Prof Gary explains in depth about hardware and software concepts. PS: replied to get notifications about replies from other people
@@TechAltar yeah, that asianometry guy is basically a Taiwanese guy......he too make very good videos on tech manufacturing.....both the youtube channel tech Altar and asianometry are Underrated 👍
2:03 Foxconn and TSMC are not competitors, they make different things. Foxconn (or its client) buys chips from TSMC and assemble them in the final product.
I work at the Foxconn facility in Wisconsin - the project wasn't abandoned; disappointing you would report it as such. You otherwise nailed the company history and nature of how the business operates.
As for the business practise - it is neither new, nor innovative ... .. i mean - the way you describe it, it is literally ancient. It is a carbon copy of proto-industrial factory owners in the UK and Europe. - successful yes .. but absolutely inhumane - and past its sell date in more (socially) developed countries - something that China will go through just like Europe did ... hopefully with less violence though.
That's an amazing story! it reminds me of the Philippines SM shopping mall. I believe the creator was from Cebu. He grow up in poverty, started to make money by cleaning shoes, then he made some money where he biked back and forward between cities selling shoes he bought cheaper on the other side. After making enough money, he started to make building renting out space for different stores. Today he ruin large beautiful shopping malls, and have over 70 shopping malls around Philippines, and 7 in china.
Foxconn will purchase the former GM Chevy Cruze factory in Lordstown, Ohio, from Lordstown Motors, and is expected to produce the electric Endurance pickup at the site.
It is a myth that suicide rate among the nearly one million Foxconn workers is higher than average. I've checked that against the suicide rate of cities in China, Taiwan or Japan and found the rate among Foxconn workers are in fact much lower. Additionally most Foxconn factory workers are young and from rural areas working and staying away from home for the first time. A few percent of the general population anywhere do develop mental health problem manifesting around that age.
Terry the "warlord" seems to be an old school capitalist the American used to have back in the late 19th Century... Since Taiwan has a conscription army, Terry served in the military for 2 years, and he mentioned that he runs his factory operation like a military unit
Best tech channel I have ever come across. I have watched many of your videos & although I comment very rarely but today I can't resist myself from appreciating your work. Your channel is very underrated.
Damn, super grateful they use Spectra7 Microsystems (SPVNF/SEV) chip and cable patented technology. Future growth and EV vehicles now looking forward to 2021-2030.
who remembers a time when gigabyte mobos were good and foxconn mobos were... comparatively short-lived. perhaps that's the key to their success, a low price point and a longevity that beats the average battery.
Part of the Foxconn issue in China is due to the 996 culture that is common there. When combined with a boss that wants high production means those workers probably have to work harder in 1 day than those in the west work in 3 days. Having to do those high pressure days back to back drives people crazy.
They're doing a good job with Sharp even if they're too focused on Japan. In my opinion the Aquos phones should be exported in Europe: they're awesome products. Maybe a better brand for export could be HTC, it's a Taiwanese company (like Foxconn), is well-known and respected in the Android market and it owns a lot of VR and AR patents so it would make sense.
@@ria8850 RIP to Panama pretty much as well, the canal's now so wide most the country is gone Edit: And Iceland, Taiwan, and the rest of the carribean island countries
Fun fact: Terry actually tried to run for president in the last Taiwanese election, except the folks looked at his ethics track record and connection to China and went ... meh
So nice of them to provide suicide netting so that their employees can REALLY never escape from their hellscape reality! I can only hope to someday have such a benevolent employer.
Dude also headed the effort (along with other businesses and philanthropy org) to donate 10 million BNT vaccines to Taiwanese people when there was a shortage.
Taiwanese are in everything ! They have the worlds biggest chip foundry (which recently overtook Tecent to become Asia's most valuable company), biggest electronics manufacturer, biggest bicycle manufacturer, biggest apparel manufacturer. Taiwanese Americans are also cofounders of giants like Nvidia, TH-cam, Yahoo.
If Foxconn make a good marketing and good software ( including operating systems), they will overtake every single phone and computer manufacturing company
This was my 1st video of yours. It informed me a lot, w/o psychodrama of how evil a man he was/is. He worked hard and sold his business. Yeah he squeezed the chinese people when they were ripe for the picking. That is the world we live in. Now the bills are coming due. Between the Chinese energy crisis, Evergrande collapse, and foreign capital fleeing China with its crack down on Tech companies and the overall entertainment business. I foresee a new recession starting in China. But the world will weather the storm as the supply chains move elsewhere. Some back to Japan and the US. How many people are newly unemployed from China's closing of private tutor schooling? China has an unemployment problem festering and 0% growth in revised forecasts.

Something like 10 years ago I used to have a fox conn motherboard in my computer. It was their own brand name and everything, I had never heard of them before and just thought it was some two bit little outfit
I’ve seen that label on some mundane computer parts components here and there since the 486s era and you have to admit it sticks to your memory
My Asus motherboard from 12 years ago had Foxconn labels all over. I think it was the first time I understood the concept of outsourcing.
My hackintosh uses a Foxconn board. Its from a old prebuild (1155 socket). Its labled as foxconn and even has a foxconn graphical bios
When I got my first Asus computer I thought they were a generic startup copying everyone else.
I had a sata cable made by them in my first computer which was from compaq i liked the name and did some research and at time i knew how big it was and how big it will get

Great video. Meticulously researched and enjoyed every minute of it
Glad you liked it!
I watch you both. Good to see you both here haha.
Big fan for both of you. Truly gems of the internet.
Glad to see you two meet !!
imagine, using both "fox" and "con" in the company name and still dominate,
it sounds sus like a scammy company
Its still sus with their regulation on workers back then when smartphone reach their peak.
Con alright. Gave cheap manufacturing to Apple in order to create ponzi stock for real profits
Not when it does the job

India? I definitely have heard of it hear
Yes back int he AM2 LGA775 platform days
That intro part was like an early episode of WandaVision. That dreamy *vibe*
Foxconn has just launched its prototypes of electric cars, albeit bearing similar naming system with Tesla (model xxx...).
I do agree with his assessment that carpets are a waste of money

Damn that pronunciation of the founder’s name is really accurate
I think he lived in China before
He speak Mandarin

A movie should be made on this guy.
I'm waiting for your episode man, too informative
got here after foxconn unveiled their new line up of EV's
didn't actually know about this company before
