In brief: Many people are using video calling as a way to stay in contact with friends, family, and coworkers. Google Duo has added some new features, including the new AV1 video codec that improves video quality for low-bandwidth video calls.

In context: Those who bought into the RTX hype and snagged one of Nvidia's latest GPUs received a nice little bonus recently in the form of "RTX Voice" -- or so it seemed. This app claims to use AI to reduce or outright cancel microphone background noise, and it was only intended to function for RTX card owners.

In context: Have you got your eye on one of Intel’s Comet Lake-S desktop CPUs? If so, you’ll need a new 400-series motherboard with an LGA 1200 socket, but the good news is that those with an LGA115x cooler won’t need to buy another one as they’re compatible.

Editor's take: What started as a simple project to connect college students in 2004 has morphed into a global communications and influencing platform that Zuckerberg never could have seen coming.
