Will Linus ever update us on what happened to the mining rig?

I was rewatching Mining Adventure Pt. 2, and I recalled a part of one of the newer videos, where they're building a gaming room in place of the mining room, he makes a comment on the failure on the mining rigs ("...you see where that went.")

Would it be possible for Linus or the staff to update the community on what exactly happened with the mining rig?

I don't feel like there's much LTT could add to the topic to be honest...mining has been done to death (quite literally), and nowadays there are very few environments where it's anything but a waste of money and hardware.

no profit to be made
takes up valuable space
loud
takes energy
costs money

Mining has crashed as a market so its not profitable on a small scale such as what LTT was doing.

The update would be what everyone already knows. "The mining market crashed so the mining rig is no longer worth it". They replaced it with a different project

That's an F in the profile pic
