I highly recommend reading the excellent book "Financial Intelligence" if anyone wants to actually interpret these numbers.

Having read the book, the section "Change in Useful Lives of Our Server and Network Equipment" immediately caught my eye. It's a classic maneuver.

Google does that "change in useful lives" shit constantly.

Who’s the author of “Financial Intelligence”?

Amazon has multiple books with that title.

Yes, I meant the one by Karen Berman. It's a fantastic book, very accessible, and worth reading for anyone interested in business.
