Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 147, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. I’m back from parental leave! Part time, anyway. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and tips for managing three kids. I need ’em all.

朋友们,大家好!欢迎来到第 147 期《安装者》,这是您了解世界上最棒、最“Verge”风格事物的指南。我的陪产假结束了!至少是兼职回归。感谢所有发来祝福和育儿建议的朋友,我需要这些建议来应对三个孩子。

The Drop: The Social Reckoning. My hopes were not super high for this movie, and the reaction so far suggests it’s good but a far cry from The Social Network. Still, Aaron Sorkin and Jeremy Strong will end up in the annals of Big Tech Movies, and I will not be missing this one.

精选推荐:《社交清算》(The Social Reckoning)。我对这部电影的期望值并不高,目前的反应表明它还不错,但与《社交网络》相比还有很大差距。不过,艾伦·索金(Aaron Sorkin)和杰瑞米·斯特朗(Jeremy Strong)的作品终将载入大型科技电影的史册,我绝不会错过这一部。

The Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro. For the first time ever, Amazon decided — and I know this might sound far-fetched — to just build an awesome tablet. And it seems it may have! There’s lots of testing to do, and I’m particularly curious about this high-end model with the fancy screen, but I’m hopeful this is the “iPad but cheaper” we’ve been waiting for.

亚马逊 Alexa Tablet 12 Pro。亚马逊有史以来第一次决定——我知道这听起来可能有些不可思议——去制造一款真正出色的平板电脑。而且看起来他们确实做到了!还有很多测试要做,我对这款配备精美屏幕的高端机型尤其好奇,但我希望这就是我们期待已久的“平价版 iPad”。

Screen share: One thing about parental leave is that it involves a lot of time with one hand free. Over the last seven weeks I’ve spent dozens, maybe hundreds of hours on the couch while a tiny potato of a baby sleeps or cries or farts on top of me. So what did I do with all that time? Goofed around on my phone, mostly.

屏幕共享:陪产假的一大特点是,你会有很多时间只能腾出一只手。在过去的七周里,我花了几十甚至几百个小时坐在沙发上,怀里抱着一个像小土豆一样的婴儿,看着他睡觉、哭闹或放屁。那么,我用这些时间做了什么呢?大部分时间都在手机上消磨时光。
