0:00.0	Welcome to the Wen show ladies and gentlemen. We've got a fantastic show for you guys today. The big topic is of course
0:08.2	that it looks like Nvidia may not have actually even launched the Founders Edition RTX 3070 Ti. That's right. All the controversy that that card managed to generate appears to be much ado about quite literally nothing nothing. We're gonna get into that a little bit later. Windows
0:29.4	11 obviously leaked this week. I did get a chance to try it and a lot more information has come out about it over the course of the week because I am far from the only one who has gotten a chance to try it. And what else we got this week, Luke?
0:45.6	Facebook or Oculus or whatever is going to be advertising to you in VR just like we all knew that they would. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
1:15.6	Netflix, widow, no, Netflix, widow, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, this me is amazing. Very important. Well everybody is. Okay, good! One days before TV show in passes,oths in August 14 show in August 15
1:19.0	on this Facebook made at the acquisition. Is now dead. This gone. I love that. Okay. Go ahead. Yeah. I wish we had no it's on it cause it'd be actually interesting to go through all of them. But also a starlink dishes are melting in the Sun, not quite, but they are actually overheating and shutting down to the point where people are spraying them with water and they pick back just a little off court.
1:42.3	All right, let's roll that intro.
1:45.6	as
2:12.0	all right I'm kind attempted to do something I'm popular here
2:14.8	Pulseway and Rachel is Ray. What do you want to start with? Why not the, why not the main line?
2:25.4	Okay. Is that not just your rule? Because your against your own rule? I know, but
2:29.5	mystic incarnate in the float plane chat said, okay, pay a crap load for the headset and get ads.
2:35.3	GG. I actually want to go right into the face-boxulous topic. Face-boxulous? That's what I'm calling
2:44.7	them now. Face-boxulous. I like it. Okay. So we're going to do that first. Then we'll talk about
2:49.4	the Nvidia thing. So let's get through what's going on here. Facebook is starting to insert ads
2:54.5	into the VR apps in the Oculus Quest. Ecosystems. Ecosystems. Excuse me. In the Oculus Quest ecosystem,
3:04.9	starting off with resolution games blast on. So we've got a picture of an in-game ad courtesy of
3:12.6	The Verge. Oh, my. It's glorious. Fast, free delivery from Jasper's Market. Thank you very much.
3:24.1	Please stop it. Jasper looks almost like shake. It looks like they have an arena game and they're just
3:28.6	trying to emulate those signs that you see on the inside of like hockey arenas. I know, right?
3:34.2	Turns out Jasper's market is not actually even a thing. That's the assumption I would make looking
3:39.2	at that. But then you can actually click on it. So it's currently a test. It may not be permanent.
