This week, I flew to San Francisco to try out Meta’s new hardware, including the impressive Meta VR Glasses. Along the way, I’ve been listening to Joanna Stern’s interview with Mark Zuckerberg, watching this interview with new Apple CEO John Ternus, revisiting Steve Jobs’ “Antennagate” press conference Q&A, playing games on my Steam Deck using the Xreal One Pro glasses, and reading Sarah Wynn-Williams’ Careless People when I have spare moments. 本周，我飞往旧金山体验了 Meta 的新硬件，包括令人印象深刻的 Meta VR 眼镜。旅途中，我一直在听 Joanna Stern 对马克·扎克伯格的采访，观看苹果新任 CEO 约翰·特努斯（John Ternus）的访谈，重温史蒂夫·乔布斯关于“天线门”的发布会问答，用 Xreal One Pro 眼镜在 Steam Deck 上玩游戏，并在闲暇时阅读 Sarah Wynn-Williams 的《Careless People》。

I also have for you more on Meta’s glasses, Remedy’s Control sequel, Microsoft’s updated Surface Mouse, and more. 此外，我还为你准备了关于 Meta 眼镜、Remedy《控制》续作、微软新款 Surface 鼠标等的更多内容。

The Drop / 本周精选

Google’s Googlebooks. Google finally revealed a ton of details about its Googlebook laptops, and they seem like they could be particularly great for people looking for a laptop to pair with their Android phone. Google is promising that they’ll get 10 years of updates, which hopefully speaks to a real commitment from the company to make the platform work. The first five are from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Google 的 Googlebooks。 Google 终于公布了关于其 Googlebook 笔记本电脑的大量细节，对于那些正在寻找一款能与 Android 手机完美搭配的笔记本电脑的用户来说，它们看起来非常出色。Google 承诺将提供 10 年的更新支持，这希望能体现出该公司让该平台取得成功的真正决心。首批五款产品分别来自宏碁、华硕、戴尔、惠普和联想。

Ray-Ban Meta Audio. Meta is launching smart glasses without cameras. The glasses still have microphones and speakers, so you can still listen to music and talk with AI. Battery life is longer, and there are also some new styles. Not going to lie, I really like the Clubmaster style. Ray-Ban Meta 音频眼镜。 Meta 正在推出不带摄像头的智能眼镜。这些眼镜依然配备麦克风和扬声器，因此你仍然可以听音乐并与 AI 对话。电池续航更长，并且还有一些新样式。说实话，我真的很喜欢 Clubmaster 款式。

Control Resonant. Remedy’s Control sequel moves out of the mind-bending Oldest House and into Manhattan and some strange new locations. I’ve beaten it, and while I prefer the original’s more contained setting, I love a lot about where the story goes. If you’re a Remedy fan, don’t miss this one. 《控制：共鸣》（Control Resonant）。 Remedy 的《控制》续作离开了令人费解的“太古楼”（Oldest House），转而进入曼哈顿和一些奇怪的新地点。我已经通关了，虽然我更喜欢原作中那种封闭式的场景，但我非常喜欢故事的发展方向。如果你是 Remedy 的粉丝，千万不要错过这一部。

Silent Hill: Townfall. Reviews for Konami’s next big horror game, set in a town in Scotland, make it sound like another worthy addition to the franchise. It should be a great one to check out to get ready for Halloween. 《寂静岭：短讯》（Silent Hill: Townfall）。 科乐美下一款大型恐怖游戏的评论已经出炉，故事背景设定在苏格兰的一个小镇，听起来它是该系列又一部值得一玩的作品。这应该会是为万圣节预热的绝佳选择。

Peloton’s Tread Flex. Peloton made a folding treadmill. (Folding is all the rage these days.) Seems like a smart idea, especially for Peloton faithfuls who have smaller living spaces. It’s also Peloton’s “most affordable” treadmill, though it still costs $2,195. Peloton Tread Flex。 Peloton 推出了一款折叠跑步机。（折叠设计如今非常流行。）这似乎是个明智的主意，尤其是对于居住空间较小的 Peloton 忠实用户而言。这也是 Peloton “最实惠”的跑步机，尽管它依然售价 2,195 美元。

Microsoft’s Surface Mouse. The second-generation version of the Surface Mouse has haptic feedback, an action button, and can be paired with three devices. It’s a tad pricey at $79.99, but it seems like a really solid option if you just want a good mouse. The Surface Pro and Laptop got a refresh, too. 微软 Surface 鼠标。 第二代 Surface 鼠标具备触觉反馈、一个操作按钮，并且可以与三台设备配对。79.99 美元的价格略显昂贵，但如果你只是想要一个好用的鼠标，它看起来是一个非常扎实的选择。Surface Pro 和 Laptop 系列也进行了更新。

Logitech G’s Yeti 2. The follow-up to the Blue Yeti, one of the most recognizable microphones ever, has an LED display and can track your voice with an audio proximity sensor. I just picked up a cheap mic of my own on a Whoop sale, but maybe if that one doesn’t cut it, I’ll end up snagging a Yeti 2. 罗技 G Yeti 2。 作为史上辨识度最高的麦克风之一 Blue Yeti 的继任者，它配备了 LED 显示屏，并能通过音频接近传感器追踪你的声音。我刚在 Whoop 的促销活动中买了一个便宜的麦克风，但如果那个不好用，我最终可能会入手一个 Yeti 2。
