I can't find it. I already ordered one so reading the review will be self affirmation, but still...

It’s in the print edition, so it should show up sometime in the next month online.

Mike M has called the balanced outputs on the Bifrost 2 “cheap ass balanced.” The internal design is single ended not hardware balanced like the Gungnir multibit and Yggdrasil....{{{snip}}}....
I wonder if he ever regretted muttering that comment on this thread? Moreover, it was one of the main reasons I snapped up an original Bifrost Multibit. Balanced input/outputs? I just don't need them. Why should I pay for extra circuitry that I won't use? :8ball:

I'm sure you realize that Bifrost 2 is much more than just a Bifrost Multibit with balanced outs.

Tom Brady has an NFT coming.

Honestly some of it sounds like NFTs are the digital equivalent to baseball cards/souvenirs/collectibles/art.

I read an artist from NYC had sold 40k of NFTs in 6 weeks..cool for him, but i dont understand the craze.

I also read a crazy article that NFTs generate tons of CO/CO2 emission and are terrible for the environment.... I didnt understand that article either.... seemed very alternate facty.

If it's like cryptocurrency, the issue is the computing power required to generate the crytographic information. It is estimated that a non-trivial percentage of the world's power consumption is involved with cryptocurrency mining - on the order of 100 TeraWatt-hours per year. (at a dime a kilowatt-hour, that's over 11 billiion dollars worth of electricity.)

I do not think Mike has many regrets particularly regarding what he says. He calls it like he sees it.

Jason on the other hand may have a few regrets over what Mike says =). Mike and “marketing” do not go well together.
