“Hello readers! Welcome back to Installer No. 31, your go-to source for the latest and greatest in the world of tech and entertainment. If you’re new here, don’t worry, you can catch up on all our previous editions on the Installer homepage. This week, I’ve been diving into articles about LA crime rings and AI music tools, indulging in March Madness despite my bracket being a bust, following the tale of Mickey Mouse, and secretly getting hooked on Love Is Blind. Plus, I’m trying to decode all the basketball jargon LeBron James drops in his new podcast.
But that’s not all! I’ve got some exciting recommendations for you, including a hot new Netflix series, a budget-friendly USB charger, a fresh messaging app, the highly-anticipated new X-Men series, and much more. Oh, and I have some news – mark your calendars for April 13th because I’ll be in Chicago with some friends from The Verge for an afternoon of AI-related fun at the Chicago Humanities Festival. It’s going to be a blast, so grab your tickets and join us!
