white screen of death for me :(
I once got through to hold music at 8am only to sit on the phone waiting the entire business day when it hung up on me, telling me to try again during business hours. I've never been able to get through since.

microLED screens have microLEDs attached to them, the Bloomberg article states that the electronics parts are made at their Taiwan factory
They make display screens there, not semiconductors.
> The problem that Ashley faced was that she was exposed 24/7.

She never faced to industrial chemical exposure, let alone 24/7. She didn't work in that building. She worked as a program manager for a software engineering team in an office building in Sunnyvale.

She was on here a few years ago socking to promote herself, she makes commentaries about things, but then when you look at the evidence, it doesn't add up. She wrote in Slack before she even went mega viral that if we never heard from her again it was because Apple gave her enough money to go live in Hawaii and start a private law practice.

I don't like Apple secrecy and after what they did during the wage survey, I don't trust anyone on the People team or in Security. But that doesn't make Ashley right or credible. She was a bully to other women in nearly every situation like everyone else in leadership. She baited us into confiding in her about our issues with management and the People team and then she ratted us out to the People team and we were all harassed into deciding whether or not we wanted a coerced investigation into our issues. What's worse is that Ashley convinced us that the People/Security teams were spying on us, when really it was her using us as some kind of leverage trying to squeeze them for money. She uses us still in her evidence in all her litigation against Apple. She never asked us for consent, she doesn't care. Just like when she worked with us, we were just things to be collected and used for her to get ahead.

a non-redacted version would only be visible to EPA and Apple
And importantly, Ashley's not qualified either. She has a track record of this stuff!!
Just for some background, the "nearly killed" thing is new. She said at first she was getting light-headed a lot and over the last 4 years it has become "almost killed."

I don't think that any of this is as serious as even you are making it out to be, though I understand I misunderstood the carbon boxes thing.

all of the findings are mundane
Got it. Still not worried about my health, though.

This is clearly not a factory.

And Bloomberg reported in 2018 that's where they've been prototyping their microLED display screens.

19 potential violations, most of which were mislabeled and unlabeled things or poor storage habits and addressed (meaning they aren't violations).

The rest of it was things being managed under state/local rules that should have been managed under federal rules which Apple still has time to fix and make them not violations.

The EPA said that Apple may have been under accounting the types of waste because they were treating it without the permits the EPA requires, it said in the document they had things labeled as "California Waste Only" that should be under EPA jurisdiction.

I didn't see anywhere that they weren't changing the filters enough, only Ashley said she figured that out from public records requests. I don't trust her to understand anything she reads.

She has confused everyone at work into thinking we're breathing/drinking toxins more than once.

As someone who lives in that building and works at Apple, I don't believe her. We were all pretty mad that she caused us to panic about being poisoned and gettin cancer.
Her other claims have all been dismissed, so she needs a new one

Do you also believe that Apple has broken into her homes across three states, follows her in unmarked vehicles, threatened to mail her a severed head, intercepted her home internet, and bugged her apartment, too?

Or is bringing up her own dubious allegations against this company off-limits when she's analyzing an EPA report without any qualifications?

Uhh

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.41...

Ashley Gjovik's lawsuit against Apple claims that Apple broke into her home in three different states, intercepted her home internet, follow her in unmarked vehicles, threatened to mail her a severed head, and bugged her apartment.

This reads like a meth-induced psychosis

It's probably not been uploaded to their docs yet
She invented the idea that they are making semiconductors there.

They make device screens: https://www.siliconvalley.com/2018/03/19/apple-secretly-deve...

No
As yet, none of it is legit
They don't do chip fabrication there, they make device screens: https://www.siliconvalley.com/2018/03/19/apple-secretly-deve...
Much better unbiased journalistic context: https://www.siliconvalley.com/2018/03/19/apple-secretly-deve...
It's because it is not a chip fab. They make device screens there.
> EDIT: read some of the report. Apple marked a bucket as waste, the EPA could not determine if it was state, federal, or even waste at all. HOW LONG WILL THESE BASTARDS KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!?

THIS BEHAVIOR GOT A WOMAN ALMOST KILLED
