Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 142, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, how is it almost September already, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
朋友们好！欢迎来到第 142 期《Installer》，这是你探索全球最棒、最“Verge”风格产品的指南。（如果你是新朋友，欢迎加入！时间过得真快，怎么转眼就快到九月了？你也可以在《Installer》主页阅读往期内容。）
This week, I’ve been remembering Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, absorbing everything in Rockstar’s big GTA VI preview, wondering if Apple will announce a foldable iPhone at its September event, getting sucked into Summoning Salt’s latest speedrunning documentary about competitive Tetris, listening to Weird Al’s new Tiny Desk concert (“The Saga Begins!”), and getting a Reuben from my favorite local spot after thinking about it for months.
本周，我一直在怀念 Dolly Parton、Tim Curry 和 Peter Cullen，沉浸在 Rockstar 关于《GTA VI》的大型预告片中，猜测苹果是否会在九月的发布会上宣布折叠屏 iPhone，被 Summoning Salt 关于竞技俄罗斯方块的最新速通纪录片所吸引，听了 Weird Al 的新版 Tiny Desk 音乐会（《The Saga Begins!》），还去我最爱的那家店吃了一个心心念念好几个月的鲁宾三明治。
This week, I also have for you new Macs, a Nokia phone that can charge your phone, a Wyze cam with a great privacy feature, and more.
本周，我还为你带来了新款 Mac、一款能给手机充电的诺基亚手机、一款具备出色隐私功能的 Wyze 摄像头，以及更多精彩内容。
The Drop
The M6 and M5 Pro Mac Mini. Apple updated its tiny computer this week, and you can preorder it with a new M6 chip or an M5 Pro. Unfortunately, they have starting prices that are $100 more expensive than the previous generation, and the new model won’t be released until September 22nd. The company also refreshed the Mac Studio, and you can preorder it with a new M5 Ultra chip.
M6 和 M5 Pro Mac Mini。 苹果本周更新了其迷你电脑产品线，你可以预购搭载全新 M6 芯片或 M5 Pro 芯片的版本。遗憾的是，它们的起售价比上一代贵了 100 美元，且新机型要到 9 月 22 日才会发售。此外，苹果还更新了 Mac Studio，你可以预购搭载全新 M5 Ultra 芯片的版本。
Star Wars: Zero Company. This strategy game set in the Star Wars universe has been getting rave reviews. Gotta find some time to squeeze this in with all of the other big games coming out soon.
《星球大战：零号公司》（Star Wars: Zero Company）。 这款以星球大战宇宙为背景的策略游戏获得了极高的评价。我得挤出时间，在近期即将发布的一大堆大作中把它玩一玩。
HMD’s Nokia 300 Charge. HMD made an old-school, candybar-style Nokia dumbphone that doubles as a power bank. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Who needs a foldable iPhone when you can have this?
HMD 的 Nokia 300 Charge。 HMD 推出了一款复古直板式诺基亚功能机，它同时也是一个移动电源。它还配备了 3.5 毫米耳机插孔。有了这个，谁还需要折叠屏 iPhone 呢？
Wyze’s Indoor Cam Pan. This new $39.98 security camera can tilt 360 degrees around and 103 degrees vertically, but it also has a privacy mode that tilts the lens fully downward into the body of the camera so that it can’t see anything. Great feature.
Wyze 室内云台摄像机。 这款售价 39.98 美元的新型安防摄像头可以进行 360 度水平旋转和 103 度垂直倾斜，但它还具备一种隐私模式，可以将镜头完全向下翻转并缩入机身，从而确保什么都拍不到。非常棒的功能。
Garmin’s Fenix 9 smartwatches. The Fenix 9 and 9 Pro have OLED screens, 64GB of storage, and for the two bigger sizes of the 9 Pro, the option to get solar-charging displays. The watches aren’t cheap, though: The Fenix 9 starts at $999.99, while the Pro starts at $1,099.99.
Garmin Fenix 9 系列智能手表。 Fenix 9 和 9 Pro 配备了 OLED 屏幕和 64GB 存储空间，其中 9 Pro 的两个大尺寸版本还可选配太阳能充电显示屏。不过这些手表价格不菲：Fenix 9 起售价为 999.99 美元，而 Pro 版本起售价为 1,099.99 美元。
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. The Switch 2 version of FromSoftware’s all-time classic is apparently worth the wait after a big delay. Do I need yet another excuse to get lost in The Lands Between? Probably not, but I’m tempted.
《艾尔登法环：褪色者版》（Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition）。 FromSoftware 这款影史经典之作的 Switch 2 版本在经历了漫长的跳票后，显然值得等待。我还需要另一个理由让自己沉迷于“交界地”吗？可能不需要，但我确实心动了。
Whoop’s Meridian Band. This $149 band is made from Milanese mesh, comes in gold, rose gold, silver, and black, and makes your fifth-gen Whoop tracker look super fancy. But one part isn’t so fancy: You can’t charge your Whoop while it’s in the Meridian Band.
Whoop Meridian 表带。 这款售价 149 美元的表带采用米兰尼斯不锈钢编织工艺，有金色、玫瑰金、银色和黑色可选，能让你的第五代 Whoop 追踪器看起来非常高级。但有一点不太方便：当 Whoop 装在 Meridian 表带里时，你无法为其充电。
Screen Share: John Gruber
Today I’m featuring John Gruber of Daring Fireball. If you follow Apple and are a regular Verge reader (which, as an Installer subscriber, I assume you are), you’re probably well aware of Gruber and his work as a writer, podcaster, friend of the site, and as a general tech person on the internet.
今天我邀请到了 Daring Fireball 的 John Gruber。如果你关注苹果，并且是《The Verge》的常客（作为《Installer》的订阅者，我想你应该是），那你一定很了解 Gruber，以及他作为作家、播客主、本站好友以及互联网资深科技人士所做的工作。
Ahead of Apple’s big launch event coming up on September 9th, I thought it would be fun to feature the homescreen of one of the most well-known people in the Apple universe.
在苹果 9 月 9 日即将举行的大型发布会前夕，我想展示一下苹果圈内最知名人士之一的主屏幕，这应该会很有趣。
The phone: iPhone 17 Pro, deep blue, 1 TB (of which only 200 GB is used, but that won’t stop me from wasting money on a 1 TB model this year too).
手机： iPhone 17 Pro，深蓝色，1TB 版本（虽然只用了 200GB，但这并不能阻止我今年继续在 1TB 型号上浪费钱）。
The wallpaper: My wallpaper is a subtle gradient from very dark gray to black. For years I just stuck with a flat black wallpaper, as god and Steve Jobs intended. (You couldn’t change your homescreen wallpaper until iOS 4, and I remain unconvinced that was a good idea.) I like the subtle gradient now because it lets the dynamic island have a little visual contrast from the wallpaper background.
壁纸： 我的壁纸是从深灰色到黑色的微妙渐变。多年来，我一直坚持使用纯黑色壁纸，正如上帝和史蒂夫·乔布斯所愿。（在 iOS 4 之前你甚至无法更改主屏幕壁纸，我至今仍不认为那是个好主意。）我现在喜欢这种微妙的渐变，因为它能让“灵动岛”与壁纸背景产生一点视觉对比。
The apps: I’ve currently got three todo/task apps on the homescreen, which I can’t recommend, but it’s currently working for me: Unforgetful, Finalist, and Due. (The red “1” badge on Unforgetful is for a reminder to send you this email and the screenshot of my homescreen.) I’ve also arguably got three notes apps, if you count Journal (in addition to Tot and Apple Notes).
应用： 我的主屏幕上目前有三个待办事项/任务应用，虽然我不推荐这样做，但目前对我来说很管用：Unforgetful、Finalist 和 Due。（Unforgetful 上红色的“1”角标是提醒我发送这封邮件以及我的主屏幕截图。）如果算上 Journal（除了 Tot 和 Apple Notes），我甚至可以说有三个笔记应用。
