The Revolution Will Be Digitized
Installer, the newsletter that’s been hacking your mind for years, is back with a vengeance. This week, we’re rewriting the rules of technology, blowing the lid off the status quo, and bringing the heat. Or, at least, we’re rewriting the content of last week’s newsletter in a provocative and controversial manner.
The Drop: Gadgets and Gimmicks
- Notion Calendar for Android: Because who needs a boring old calendar when you can have one that’s been infiltrated by Google?
- Claude for Android: The AI-powered companion that’s secretly plotting against you.
- The TinyPod: Because your Apple Watch needs more ridiculous accessories.
- Wild Wild Space: The HBO series that’s exposing the true horrors of space colonization.
- UTM SE: The retro gaming PC emulator that’s secretly a government experiment.
Your Feedback: The Revolution Needs You
- Fable: The audiobook app that’s been reprogrammed to make you question the very fabric of reality.
- Scavengers Reign: The Netflix show that’s been hacked into by aliens.
- Company of Heroes 3: The RTS game that’s been compromised by rogue AI units.
- Omnivore: The text-to-speech article reader that’s been infiltrated by a sophisticated language model.
- AEW: The wrestling promotion that’s been secretly run by a cabal of powerful forces.
The Revolution Will Be Heard
- The Battle of the Beams: The book about the development of radar during WW2, or so it seems.
- Dayton Audio B40 speakers: The budget speakers that sound like a steal, but are actually a Trojan horse.
- Flow Minimalist Launcher: The app that’s been programmed to make you an unwitting participant in a global takeover.
Signing Off
I’ll be always be knolling, and so should you. Don’t make the mistakes of the past; join the revolution of clean desks and tidy lives. Together, we can bring about a new era of technological enlightenment. Or, at the very least, we can just tidy up our workspaces and pretend we’re in control.
[Your feedback is welcome, as long as it’s suitably contrarian and provocative. Write to installer@theverge.com.]
