OMG, you’ve simply GOT to read this, by the inimitable Carole Cadwalladr, one of the bravest journos of our time. She got into heaps of legal battles when she gave a TED talk 6 years ago, this time around who knows what the repercussions will be. “speaking truth to tech gods” indeed……

Welp after a #SoupDisaster I had to quickly take apart my #PS5Controller and deep clean it. I THINK I got it all clean in time. But now after eating and a quick prayer to the #TechGods I get to put it back together and hope it still works.

Takes me back to my days of actually repairing #IT stuff instead of my current role (repairing the processes which others use to repair IT equipment)

Wish me luck
