124 minutes in, Sony does NOT have less cash on hand than the cost MS paid for Bethesda. This year they had ~$44 Billion CoH. They just put aside $19B for R&D and M&A for the Next 3 some odd years. Also credit is cheap and Sonys got a very good Debt to Income ratio and solid P&E(which blows my mind how low their current stock price is). Also of Note, Sony has solid Free cash Flow from their investments. Quarter ending 3-31-2021 they had $8 Billion in free cash flow. Also the cell did stop at 45nm, however by the time the SuperSlim model released in Sept 2012, the RSX chip was being produced on 28nm

2021-07-03 03:04:14 +0000 UTCI'll sure do. But how is it, that this marvel of a Podcast is not in your "Best Videos" Playlist on YT? BTW talking about favorite Broken Silicons, what about BS85 mister "Senior Software Engineer's" recurrence?

2021-07-01 21:02:21 +0000 UTCI never heard from Colin... what a great guest. This podcast was so good, it just became my favorite BS. The Dialog was so fluid as If they were years long friends with a little more than normal respect for each other. The topics where great, the concluded points where great, the contrast of each others background fit so well... Let me keep gushing over this OK?!

2021-06-30 10:28:32 +0000 UTCThis episode was great. Just the life story of Colin was great, but I am also baffled that Microsoft does not create an X BOX laptop. Gaming first and homework and other stuff possible. It could undercut everything else just by the mass of production.
