You can get the same noise reduction by soaking your Doritos in Dr. Pepper for 10-15 minutes before eating.

Honestly, this is the AI innovation I've been waiting for. Now do babies on airplanes.

Do not dip the babies on the airplanes in mountain dew for 15 minutes.

NVIDIA RTX Voice can filter noise out of both your outgoing audio AND incoming audio. I (re)installed it briefly when my boss's Bluetooth headset was dying.

I like the crunch, but this is about gaming?!?!

No one should be eating Doritos while gaming. Who wants that nacho cheese dust all over their peripherals?

They don't help with the crunch, but finger chopsticks help with the cruft.

If they could just do this with people who swallow loudly too.

You laugh but the other day I had an extended phone conversation with a student worker in our IT department who was eating a huge sandwich or something during the whole call. At first I just had trouble understanding him and wondered what was going on, but then I heard the chewing.

The old George Costanza eating an apple on the phone to seem casual trick.

In the context of the gaming industry, the word 'crunch' means something else entirely.
