      Right, he demanded “NO FANS” on most products and caused all those components to overheat. He was a true visionary.

      He was a marketing and brand genius I give him that.

        he did a lot of good and bad things… but more than “just a businessman” b.s.

          I volunteered at a university radio station a few times and was taught how to cut out AC/Heater/Fan noise from a recording using audacity on what I think was my second time going in. Recorded a PSA about cancer screening.

          It’s been almost a decade and a half so I don’t remember exactly how, but the point is that it was something they taught people effectively walking in off the street.

          I’d imagine it’s different with a non-constant fan, but you can force computer fans to a consistent 100% speed through a handful of different ways.

            It’s just a low pass filter. Since human speech is massively out of the frequency range of a fan, you can just delete that whole frequency wholesale.
