Totally, the departmental audits happen yearly and are available to the public. It doesn't bother me if they want to do a separate audit but these aren't audits, aren't being perfo…

I don't question the need for an audit. I do question having a ketamine fueled oligarch and a rag-tag group of 20 year old software developers doing an audit, pretending audits tak…

Love learning about image/video formats and I enjoy how you broke it all down. Just a heads up, pretty sure you've got a typo: "Next is the Global Packed Field, which in this case …
