是时候寻找一款新浏览器了。本周的《安装者》(Installer)栏目内容包括:使命召唤回归、Kindle Plus 的小幅更新,以及你一定要看的《荒野林》(Wildwood)。大卫·皮尔斯(David Pierce)是《The Verge》的特约编辑兼 Vergecast 联合主持人,在消费科技领域拥有超过十年的报道经验。此前曾供职于 Protocol、《华尔街日报》和《连线》。

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 149, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, happy It Actually Feels Like Fall Now At Least In My Neighborhood), and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)

朋友们好!欢迎来到第 149 期《安装者》,这是你了解世界上最棒、最“Verge”风格事物的指南。(如果你是新读者,欢迎加入,很高兴现在终于有了秋天的感觉,至少在我住的地方是这样。你也可以在《安装者》主页阅读往期内容。)

This week, I’ve been reading about Demis Hassabis and computer chips and permafrost, enjoying the first episodes of Machine Gods, filming the next season of Version History (pet season!), seeing You Can See Everything and then reading and listening to absolutely everything about it, painstakingly updating all the stuff in my 1Password, making tiny documents with Tiny Little Office, watching Conan O’Brien own Subway Takes the way he once owned Hot Ones, finally getting properly good at CapCut, and blasting the soundtrack to The Mandalorian and Grogu all workday long.

本周,我一直在阅读关于德米斯·哈萨比斯(Demis Hassabis)、计算机芯片和永久冻土的内容,欣赏了《机器之神》(Machine Gods)的前几集,拍摄了下一季的《版本历史》(Version History,宠物主题季!),观看了《你能看到一切》(You Can See Everything)并阅读和收听了所有相关内容,费力地更新了 1Password 里的所有信息,用 Tiny Little Office 制作微型文档,看着柯南·奥布莱恩(Conan O’Brien)像当年在《Hot Ones》节目中那样掌控《Subway Takes》,终于熟练掌握了 CapCut,并且整个工作日都在循环播放《曼达洛人与格罗古》(The Mandalorian and Grogu)的原声带。

I also have for you a new AI assistant, the most Duo-y new app for the iPhone Duo, my hunt for the next great browser, and much more. Let’s do this. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What are you playing / reading / watching / listening to / modding with Claude this week? Tell me everything: installer@theverge.com. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.)

我还为你准备了一个新的 AI 助手、iPhone Duo 上最“Duo”风格的新应用、我寻找下一款伟大浏览器的过程,以及更多内容。让我们开始吧。(一如既往,《安装者》最精彩的部分在于你们的想法和建议。这周你在玩什么、读什么、看什么、听什么,或者用 Claude 在做什么修改?告诉我一切:installer@theverge.com。如果你认识其他可能喜欢《安装者》的人,请转发给他们并告诉他们在这里订阅。)

The Drop: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Obviously, Grand Theft Auto VI is the biggest game release of the year, but a new COD is always a big deal. This one doesn’t sound like some grand reinvention of the form, but rather an even more playable, even more powerful version of what works. I was particularly excited to hear that the campaign mode is a huge improvement this time.

精选推荐:《使命召唤:现代战争 4》。显然,《侠盗猎车手 VI》是今年最重磅的游戏发布,但新版《使命召唤》依然意义重大。这一部听起来并不像是对游戏形式的宏大重塑,而是对现有成功模式的进一步优化,使其更具可玩性且功能更强大。我特别兴奋地听说这次的战役模式有了巨大的改进。

The Blink Mini 4K. Ring cameras get a lot more shine, but Amazon’s cheaper brand also makes some pretty good stuff. This one’s part of a whole new lineup of devices, but $80 for a 4K camera with two-way audio and plenty of smart security features? Not a bad deal.

Blink Mini 4K。Ring 摄像头虽然更受关注,但亚马逊旗下的这个平价品牌也制造了一些相当不错的产品。这是其全新设备系列的一部分,但仅需 80 美元就能买到一款具备双向音频和丰富智能安全功能的 4K 摄像头?这笔交易相当划算。

JustWatch TV. As streaming services get incessantly more expensive, I’m starting to bail on some paid services and spend more time on the free ones. JustWatch’s new service is surprisingly well-stocked out of the gate — I suspect they’ve been watching what people search for, and making some smart content bets.

JustWatch TV。随着流媒体服务价格不断上涨,我开始放弃一些付费服务,转而花更多时间在免费平台上。JustWatch 的新服务一上线就出人意料地资源丰富——我怀疑他们一直在观察人们的搜索习惯,并据此做出了明智的内容布局。

Claude Duet. Here’s Anthropic’s answer to Muse, Instinct, and Dots. Duet seems to be focused on helping you get stuff done at work by making to-do lists, coordinating meetings, and compiling data for you. Still waitlist-only right now, but it’ll be interesting to see if it’s as thirsty for attention as Muse is.

Claude Duet。这是 Anthropic 对 Muse、Instinct 和 Dots 的回应。Duet 似乎专注于通过创建待办事项列表、协调会议和汇总数据来帮助你完成工作。目前仍处于候补名单阶段,但看看它是否像 Muse 那样渴望获得关注将会很有趣。

Wildwood. Before you see this gorgeous, by all accounts excellent stop-motion movie, read everything you can about how it was made. Not a pixel of generative AI in sight, just an unbelievable amount of hard work and human creativity. Humans rock, artists rock, this movie rocks.

《荒野林》。在你观看这部华丽且口碑极佳的定格动画电影之前,请尽可能多地阅读关于它是如何制作的资料。里面没有一个像素是生成式 AI 制作的,只有令人难以置信的辛勤工作和人类创造力。人类很棒,艺术家很棒,这部电影也很棒。

The Teenage Engineering EP-35. When you go to buy this thing, it’s technically called “Life is fantastic!” Which, sure. This thing is a battery powered, multi-input, multi-instrument amp with lots of effects. As always, it is extremely cool-looking. I have no use for it, and I want it quite badly.

Teenage Engineering EP-35。当你去购买这个东西时,它的正式名称是“生活太棒了!”(Life is fantastic!)。好吧,确实如此。这是一个电池供电、多输入、多乐器的放大器,带有许多效果。一如既往,它看起来非常酷。我虽然用不上,但我非常想要它。

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Nintendo basically hasn’t changed the formula here since Wii Sports from two decades ago, and I have absolutely no problem with that. Anything that gives me that super-active tennis and bowling (plus volleyball, boxing, thumb wrestling, and more) is a win in my book.

《任天堂 Switch 运动度假胜地》。任天堂基本上没有改变二十年前《Wii Sports》以来的公式,我对此完全没有意见。任何能让我体验那种超活跃的网球和保龄球(外加排球、拳击、拇指摔跤等)的游戏,在我看来都是赢家。

Delta 2.0. The next couple of weeks are going to be full of interesting app updates as developers try to figure out what to make of Apple’s foldable phone. But one of the best is already available; Delta can now pretty successfully cosplay as any handheld console ever. (Plus the Sega Genesis!)

Delta 2.0。接下来的几周将充满有趣的应用更新,因为开发者们都在试图弄清楚如何利用苹果的可折叠手机。但其中最棒的一款已经发布;Delta 现在可以相当成功地模拟任何掌上游戏机。(外加世嘉 Genesis!)

Kindle Plus. This is mostly just a rebranding of Kindle Unlimited, but Amazon put a couple of interesting new features in its $12 monthly reading subscription, including AI-narrated audiobooks. I am dubious of those, but excited about expanding access to audiobooks. We’ll see.

Kindle Plus。这基本上只是 Kindle Unlimited 的更名,但亚马逊在其每月 12 美元的阅读订阅服务中加入了一些有趣的新功能,包括 AI 配音的有声读物。我对这些功能持怀疑态度,但对扩大有声读物的获取渠道感到兴奋。让我们拭目以待。

Spotlight: The worst news of the week here in the Installerverse is that Arc is going away. This was obviously coming: The Browser Company bailed on Arc two years ago in favor of the more AI-centric Dia, and Arc has been in maintenance mode ever since. But now it’s not just being ignored, it’s going away. By Christmas, you won’t even be able to use the app anymore.

焦点:本周《安装者》领域最糟糕的消息是 Arc 浏览器即将停用。这显然是意料之中的:The Browser Company 两年前就放弃了 Arc,转而支持更以 AI 为中心的 Dia,此后 Arc 一直处于维护模式。但现在它不仅是被忽视,而是要彻底消失了。到圣诞节时,你甚至无法再使用该应用程序。

So now a lot of us are stuck looking for another browser. There are a million new ones out there, many of them somewhere between “heavily inspired by Arc” and “a direct copy of Arc I made in Codex this morning.” I need to test a lot of them. I don’t know exactly where I’ll land yet, but I figured I’d share a bunch of the ones I’m looking at:

所以现在我们很多人不得不寻找另一款浏览器。市面上有无数的新浏览器,其中许多处于“深受 Arc 启发”和“我今天早上在 Codex 里直接复制的 Arc”之间。我需要测试其中的很多款。我还不确定最终会选择哪一个,但我打算分享一些我正在关注的浏览器:

Dia. It has recently gotten a lot of Arc’s best features, and some of the AI stuff is pretty cool. (And mercifully easy to turn off.) The Browser Company’s attention to aesthetic detail remains the best in the biz, so I’m starting here.

Dia。它最近获得了许多 Arc 的最佳功能,而且一些 AI 功能非常酷。(而且令人欣慰的是,它们很容易关闭。)The Browser Company 对美学细节的关注仍然是业内最好的,所以我从这里开始尝试。

Zen. A total ripoff of Arc, and I mean that as a compliment. Zen runs on Mozilla’s Gecko engine rather than Chromium, which is a win for anyone looking for a little less Google influence in their lives. Last time I tried Zen it was a little buggy and unpolished, but I’ve heard it’s come a long way.

Zen。完全是 Arc 的翻版,我这是在夸奖它。Zen 运行在 Mozilla 的 Gecko 引擎上而不是 Chromium,对于那些希望生活中少一点谷歌影响的人来说,这是一个胜利。我上次尝试 Zen 时,它还有点小毛病,不够完善,但我听说它已经有了很大的进步。

Orion. I am a dedicated and very happy Kagi user, and I’ve heard good things about how simple and resource-friendly the company’s browser is. Give

Orion。我是一名忠实且非常满意的 Kagi 用户,我听说过很多关于该公司浏览器如何简洁且资源友好的好评。试试看。
