Some of our IAM policies might as well have been written by the Saxons they make so little sense. You know it’s going well when there’s an allow and a deny for the same resource in one policy.

Fuckin loads. iCloud+ VPN Apple Music Apple Fitness AppleCare+ Prime AWS Need a spreadsheet to track em all. Tbf did used to have even more like Nvidia GeForce Now and Discovery+ but they were a bit of a waste.

Several people have pointed out that they have entered in to some big sponsorship deals across motorsport which seems stupid if they are having cash flow problems. Some have speculated that they’ve been blowing money on sponsoring things instead of paying their suppliers on time which is what’s...

ChatGPT to the rescue. A standstill agreement between a bank and a company is a legal contract that typically occurs when a company is facing financial distress or is in default on its loans. In this agreement, the bank agrees to temporarily refrain from taking any legal action against the...
