This week, I’ve been reference astir private garbage collectors and vintage watches and My Favorite Murder, watching The Running Man (which was not great) and Sinners (which was extremely great), giving my Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses different whirl, nostalgia-tripping my measurement done The Format’s caller album, sitting successful the assemblage for the first Star Search connected Netflix, yet reference Dungeon Crawler Carl because astir 40,000 of you recommended it, and spending measurement excessively galore hours wrestling pinch level Wi-Fi. Life is excessively short for level Wi-Fi, my friends.
Bit of an abbreviated rumor this week — it’s a short week, and has besides been an unusually bananas 1 some personally and professionally. But excessively overmuch bully worldly to conscionable return the week off! So see this an Installer Lite. A Mini Installer. A “bug fixes and capacity improvements” update, if you will. But we’ve sewage a smartphone you request to cheque out, a caller soundtrack to activity to, immoderate smart thoughts connected Hollywood, and more. Let’s do it.
(As always, the champion portion of Installer is your ideas and tips. What are you watching / listening to / playing / buying / reference by the occurrence this week?

- Todoist Ramble. This is 1 of my favourite AI things connected the internet, and it conscionable came retired of beta. You conscionable commencement an audio signaling and encephalon dump everything successful your head, and Todoist does an impressively bully occupation of turning it into projects, tasks, and deadlines. A cleanable measurement to commencement the workday, if you inquire me.
- The NexPhone. One phone, 3 operating systems. This midrange Android telephone (which is much than a decade successful the making) besides comes pinch Linux and Windows installed, truthful you tin successful mentation usage it arsenic your superior machine arsenic well. It won’t vessel for a while, and I do person immoderate questions. But I emotion that this telephone exists.

It’s fundamentally Words pinch Friends with nicer creation and less ads, and I mean that arsenic a beautiful precocious compliment. I conscionable wish it didn’t require downloading a abstracted app.
- MIO: Memories successful Orbit. I’ve seen immoderate reviews putting this crippled alongside Silksong and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which is outrageously precocious indie-game praise. In summation to being perfectly gorgeous, it appears to beryllium gleefully, punishingly difficult, and I fishy that’s going to activity for a batch of people.
- The Sony LinkBuds Clip. I person started to spot this style of clip-on, open-ear earbuds perfectly everywhere, and I benignant of emotion it. Sony’s sound canceling and microphones are typically among the champion you’ll find, truthful I’m funny to spot what it tin do pinch this caller shape.
- TR-49. I emotion a bully figure-out-the-machine crippled (Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is 1 of my all-time faves), and this is simply a awesome one. You’re dropped successful beforehand of a WWII-era machine and person to fig retired really to usage it. And what’s going on. I’ve been playing the iOS version, and it’s sidesplitting my productivity.
- “Joe Rogan Experience #2440 - Matt Damon & Ben Affleck.” This is the first, and astir apt last, clip I’ll ever urge a JRE section here, but Affleck and Damon are conscionable truthful smart astir Hollywood, AI, money, and the early of entertainment. That viral Affleck-on-AI clip is only portion of the bully stuff.
- Nightshift. Kurzgesagt is 1 of the Installerverse’s favourite things connected YouTube, and their new, somewhat darker transmission is already disconnected to a beardown start. I benignant of dream each video is astir pirates.
