Mining Limiters Were Pointless analyzes the Nvidia LHR mining limiter introduced on the RTX 30 series and what miners and reviewers observed after its release. The video highlights early skepticism toward LHR, followed by reports from miners stating the limiter did not discourage new GPU purchases and often cut performance by only about half, with various tweaks restoring mining power on many LHR cards to 70 percent or higher. The discussion also touches on broader crypto dynamics, noting Ethereum’s market status and the potential shift to other coins once proof of stake reduces demand for GPUs. The host adds contextual commentary with a mix of humor and skepticism about the practical impact of LHR on supply and mining profitability, and moves into quick bits that cover diverse tech topics, from gaming Chromebooks to corporate acquisitions and policy debates. The segment about Chromebooks speculates that low-cost laptops could become gaming devices, fueled by rumors of RGB keyboard support and partnerships with NT-based Linux laptops, while also critiquing NFT strategies by Ubisoft and the general crypto ecosystem. The video closes with a lighthearted look at regulatory and tech policy stories, including Google’s G Suite pricing changes, ISP nutrition labels, and a pig autonomous surgery robot, weaving together a stream of rapid-fire tech news that underlines the show’s characteristic blend of wit and critical analysis.
