…on a regular basis. That's before you get into the slave labor, near slave labor, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Slave Labor" that goes into pretty much all our modern devices - from the cobalt on up (Cobalt Red by Kara is a good read here, Dying for an iPhone is relevant, and there's no shortage of others).

…sometimes they do video transcode or other things. When it's a dark winter day, I use a lot less energy. And before getting too excited about the state of lithium energy storage, grab yourself a copy of Cobalt Red by Kara. It's an exceedingly disturbing read on the state of cobalt mining in DRC.

Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara is a fascinating if horrifying long read which looks at the toll cobalt mining takes on the people and environment in DRC.

……书单，以便根据朋友的兴趣迅速推荐几本。我发现听有声书要轻松得多，但必须是非虚构类（或者是重温虚构类小说），而且不能太烧脑。过去这一年里，《红色钴矿》（Cobalt Red）、《法外海洋》（Outlaw Oceans）和《世无巧合》（There Are No Accidents）听起来都很棒。不过这也是我熬过我家狗每天至少两小时遛狗运动量的唯一办法了。

Cobalt Red, Outlaw Oceans and There Are No Accidents were all great listens from this past year. But it's the only way I get through the 2hr minimum of exercise my dog needs a day.

……有时它们会跑视频转码（video transcode）或其他任务。遇到阴暗的冬日，我用的电就会少得多。在对锂储能的发展现状过于乐观之前，建议你去翻翻卡拉写的《红色钴矿》（Cobalt Red）。关于刚果民主共和国（DRC）钴矿开采的现状，这本书读来让人极其不安。

西达尔特·卡拉（Siddharth Kara）的《红色钴矿》（Cobalt Red）是一篇引人入胜但令人惊骇的长篇读物，探讨了钴矿开采给刚果民主共和国（DRC）的人民和环境带来的沉重代价。

……过去十年左右的各种“运动”——为了矿产炸平一座山完全没问题，只要它是碳中和的就行。如果你想体验一把“这辈子再也不想买任何移动计算设备”，我建议你去读读《红色钴矿》（Cobalt Red），讲的是刚果（DRC）当地围绕钴矿开采的种种谎言与欺骗（基本上，概括起来就是不管外界声称采取了什么措施来改善条件，他们总能“绕过……
