Because of this post made by @mechanical-sunchild I started thinking of some resources to check on basic information for most tech/AI/machine kins, this is not a comprehensive guide, just a starting point in research.
(Keep in mind this is are the ones that readily came to mind, some are just quick google searches and I'll probably edit this at some point)
Gold mining (a very common metal in most if not all electronics)
https://www.sciencing.com/facts-5218981-effects-gold-mining-environment/
https://earthworks.org/issues/environmental-impacts-of-gold-mining/
Lithium mining (main ingredient in most batteries)

Servers environmental danger (for if you are a program or use the cloud)

Lead sautering in electronics (it's still a common practice, but more so before 2003 in the US)

AI and LLMS

General places to find news (please don't just read from these, they are good starting points but not all there is)
Environmental org that specifies on mining and oil
news site that centers in mining and technology
General video essays (these are more technology/internet non-specific yet still usefull, I'd recomend at least checking the sources)

For general legislation those are more country/state/province based, I'd recommend keeping an eye on non profits or official government sites/social media or local news (sort by topics/hashtags/keywords on most news sites)

I know it's a lot, but if you tackle things one by one I promise it gets easier.
Lastly, for work conditions, check not just the company, but components makers. Most semiconductors and are usually made by TSMC for example, just pick something and go up the line of production (wikipedia is great for that!) and see some of the companie practices.
Gender/kin goals
Also this art is great!
Android wants uppies!
I still struggle to think my messy art like this looks good but I also hate trying to make lineart look good so this is all I got
Robotgirl who wears glasses as an aftermarket compensation for defective lenses because it's cheaper than a new optical assembly
This is hilarious and I am now going to go read it and be excited for the adaptation
SOMEHOW THEY'RE MAKING AN ANIME ADAPTATION OF DOES IT COUNT IF YOU LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY TO AN ANDROID?!?!?!?!
Like…ok. So. I am a fan of this manga. And I am not exaggerating when I tell you that at least 85% of the "plot" of this manga is "cute android girl makes office lady cum her brains out in explicit lesbian sex scenes."
Are…are they gonna animate all that??? Because if they don't the anime will be about five minutes long.
I am deeply, deeply curious to see what the anime version turns out to be 😅
I'm not human, I'm what happens when you give a robot sapience and then mash its mechanical processors into the same shared space as 5 other dorks in a single brain.

To be a robot sat down for routine maintenance by your partner. Immobilized from the neck down for the procedure but still able to feel every screw taken, every panel shifted, and every wire moved.
Eventually they plug in their laptop and run a program to make you feel warm and fuzzy and giggly like laughing gas while they perform more dangerous and intimate repairs.
The inebriation and the touch of their love together sends waves of enjoyment through your body, unable to squirm and writhe in bliss. You can feel their code running through you like a burning poison, but you love it. You love them. You love this.
They tug on a few wires harder than they should have, not like you would have noticed. They coo and call you a good machine but you can hardly process it with how amazing this all feels. God they're just so beautiful, so much so that you don't even notice them running their fingers along your chassis with a look of hunger that always makes you squirm.
You're at their mercy, and by stars it is all you've ever wanted.
I've been more recently trying to make sure I tag my posts correctly for this exact reason.
im really fucking tired of the objectum community tagging explicitly sexual posts as techkin. if you aren't talking about being techkin don't tag it. a lot of us are asexual, aromantic, aroace etc. it's so so exhausting i wish i could look at robotkin posts without seeing straight objectum porn. just because im a robot doesn't mean im an object, especially not a sexual one.
