Meanwhile, there's clarification on the Dolphin emulator's no-show on Steam and discussion on the lack of a Saturn mini retro console - and the end of the mini console phase in general. And did you know that Digital Foundry is actually 18 years old?

Hi DF, I've been watching the video and once again got distracted by the humming noise in Rich's audio. There is a simple audio effect to fix the issue called DeHummer. Here's an example of how it can be set in Adobe Audition: https://imgur.com/a/EUNapl5 The EQ step is optional but I liked it more that way. And here are the samples: - No DeHummer: https://dl.sndup.net/8xmy/DF%20Weekly%20121%20No%20DeHummer.wav - With DeHummer: https://dl.sndup.net/yxmz/DF%20Weekly%20121%20With%20DeHummer.wav - With DeHummer and EQ: https://dl.sndup.net/djy4/DF%20Weekly%20121%20With%20DeHummer%20and%20EQ.wav I'm sure that there is a better approach to eliminate the issue but even these simple changes significantly reduce the noise level. Hope you will find this info useful! And thanks for another great episode!
