Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer<\/em> No. 129, your guide to the best and Verge<\/em>-iest stuff in the world. (If you\u2019re new here, welcome, come on you Gunners<\/a>, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer<\/em> homepage<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This week, I\u2019ve mostly been sick, which has meant nearly a full rewatch of Parks and Recreation<\/em><\/strong><\/a> while alternately napping and feeling bad for myself. But I\u2019ve also been reading about Nick Fuentes<\/strong><\/a> and clowns<\/strong><\/a>, listening to old episodes of Short History Of<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, testing the NextSense Smartbuds<\/strong><\/a> while I sleep, writing in the Outerline<\/strong><\/a> Markdown app beta, and eagerly looking for things to do with the upcoming Flipper One<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today\u2019s issue is a little short since I\u2019ve been out, but I didn\u2019t want to leave you completely hanging. Plus, it\u2019s a good week, including my favorite new browser in years, a new Star Wars <\/em>movie, two great new tech books, a surprisingly great set of earbuds, and more. Let\u2019s do it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
