“The process starts with old batteries being separated and burned to strip away non-metal components. What’s left gets crushed into something called black mass. This is essentially a powder packed with recoverable metals. From there, a water-based chemical treatment called hydrometallurgy pulls the lithium out. One clever distinction in this new process is that the recovered lithium hydroxide actually replaces a chemical traditionally used during refining. This cuts the carbon footprint by about 40% compared to older methods.”

Article also said that previous methods got about 45% of the lithium from recycling.

Thanks. I hate how seeing pictures like this now just makes me suspicious immediately.

This has to be AI. Weirdly low quality, table placememt and size makes no sense, glasses don’t support themselves on ears (headphones are way lower compared to his glasses). Headphone cable size is inconsistent as well.

I think Windows 7 solitaire had an option where you could only get solvable games. Personally i like it when you don’t know if it can be solved - part of the puzzle for me.
