Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer<\/em> No. 145, your guide to the best and Verge<\/em>-iest stuff in the world. (If you\u2019re new here, welcome, I\u2019m happy to be done traveling for a bit, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer<\/em> homepage<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, I flew to San Francisco to try out Meta\u2019s new hardware, including the impressive Meta VR Glasses<\/a>. Along the way, I\u2019ve been listening to Joanna Stern\u2019s interview with Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>, watching this interview with new Apple CEO John Ternus<\/a>, revisiting Steve Jobs\u2019 \u201cAntennagate\u201d press conference Q&A<\/a>, playing games on my Steam Deck using the Xreal One Pro<\/a> glasses, and reading Sarah Wynn-Williams\u2019 Careless People<\/em><\/a> when I have spare moments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I also have for you more on Meta\u2019s glasses, Remedy\u2019s Control<\/em> sequel, Microsoft\u2019s updated Surface Mouse, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
