“Hello, dear friends! Welcome to Installer No. 51, your ultimate guide to the coolest and most cutting-edge stuff out there. If you’re new here, I’m thrilled to have you on board. I hope you share my love for spy shows, and don’t forget to catch up on all the previous editions on the Installer homepage. This week, I’ve delved into the world of cobalt miners, explored the intersection of religion and AI, and learned about the fascinating history of Moleskine notebooks. I’ve been jamming to pop-punk Disney songs on repeat, finally started watching The Sopranos (I know, I’m late to the party), used the Earth.fm app to soundtrack my workdays, gave Tweek another shot for simple tasks and calendars, and spent way too much time debating the value of NFL Sunday Ticket (spoiler alert: it’s not worth it, but also kind of is).
I’ve got some exciting recommendations for you this week, including a hot new PlayStation game, a documentary on money in sports, two impressive new cameras, and a fantastic E Ink note-taking device. Oh, and a quick apology for sharing the wrong link to my homescreen icon pack last week. Luckily, the one I did share is also top-notch. My actual icons are from Nate Wren’s Lines pack.
Now, let’s dive into the plethora of gadgets featured this week!
In the Drop section:
– Reeder: An all-in-one app for podcasts, YouTube queues, RSS feeds, and more, exclusively for Apple devices.
– Slow Horses season 4: A hilarious and action-packed show on Apple TV Plus.
– Astro Bot: An adorable platformer game that’s winning hearts.
– The Remarkable Paper Pro: A high-tech E Ink note-taking device with a hefty price tag.
In the Money Game section:
– A miniseries on the NIL revolution in college sports, shedding light on social media and athlete struggles.
– Circle to Search for music: Google’s top-notch song lookup tool.
– The Peak Design Outdoor Line: Rugged gear that’s both functional and stylish.
– GoPro Hero 13 Black: The latest iteration of the beloved action camera.

In the Group Project segment, I’ve shared some fantastic recommendations from our community for lesser-known creators, spanning tech, video essays, and miscellaneous topics.
And in our Screen Share feature, we get a peek at Erick Gomez’s homescreen setup, as our new audio engineer on the Vergecast. Erick’s homescreen is a model of order and efficiency, reflecting his no-nonsense approach to work and life.
