Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 95, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, new gadget season is starting, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
This week, I am listening to independent radio (shoutout to Seattle’s KEXP), reading about the life of children’s author Richard Scarry, learning about the long development of Hollow Knight: Silksong and “silkposting,” watching the trailer for the next season of The Great British Baking Show, perusing the Kottke.org Rolodex, learning about summer sunset times, and enjoying seeing Masahiro Sakurai again.
I also have for you Pixel’s next foldable, new Samsung earbuds, a chill indie game, and more.
The Drop
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google’s newest foldable has an IP68 ingress rating, meaning that it should be significantly more resistant to dust than other foldables. The company made it happen with a new gearless hinge design. When you’re paying nearly $2,000 for your phone, having some extra confidence in its durability goes a long way.
- Pixel Watch 4. The newest Pixel Watch has screws on its chassis that you can remove to more easily repair and replace the screen and the battery.
