I code for Apple platforms, build things that move and optionally push melted plastic through a hole. I like Star Treks and Missions Impossible. I made Headlines RSS for iOS (https://macbirdie.net/headlines). Señor iOS dev at @AppUnite.
Finally bought my first split keyboard (silakka54). Despite needing to learn to type again even though I've been preparing for this to not cross the split boundary with neither hand, it made sitting at my desk feel so much cooler.

Bought a Dualsense controller destroyed by a FIFA rage quit to the wall. This is going to be interesting. Doesn’t turn on, doesn’t charge. I suspect main IC reflow or reball is needed.
