Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 145, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, I’m happy to be done traveling for a bit, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
This week, I flew to San Francisco to try out Meta’s new hardware, including the impressive Meta VR Glasses. Along the way, I’ve been listening to Joanna Stern’s interview with Mark Zuckerberg, watching this interview with new Apple CEO John Ternus, revisiting Steve Jobs’ “Antennagate” press conference Q&A, playing games on my Steam Deck using the Xreal One Pro glasses, and reading Sarah Wynn-Williams’ Careless People when I have spare moments.
I also have for you more on Meta’s glasses, Remedy’s Control sequel, Microsoft’s updated Surface Mouse, and more.
