I wasn't going to watch this originally, but it turned out to be rather geekily interesting.
Linus actually disassembles this $5000 Nvidia enterprise class crypto mining card. The engineering is interesting. Then they wind up testing it by mining Etherium on it, and easily doubles the performance of a 3090, mainly because of the wickedly fast, but hideously expensive, on-die memory.
Interestingly, this uses silicon meant for enterprise compute GPUs that failed to meet the spec, so it's making use of GPUs that would otherwise go to waste.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
