"When working on a motherboard outside of the case, set it on the surface least likely to hold a charge. The best bet is an anti-static bag or the pink anti-static foam that normally accompanies the board."

WORST ADVICE EVER.

The silver foil bags are conductive on the outside to create a Faraday cage on the inside.

Motherboards get tested before being shipped, they discharge the capacitors beforehand but not always 100% you stick that on that bag and zap, bye bye mobo.

Keep it on the pink foam or on top of the usually paper box.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9275d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
