I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don’t want to name, so will just say it’s initials - IBM. He also authorised usage for IBM “and it’s minions”.

Weblogic
They make chips for missiles.
Knowing IBM, probably something to do with Nazis

This isn’t talked about enough.
