Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 138, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, happy August, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I've been reading about microwave sounds and Meta glasses and Alex vs. Alix, testing the Logitech Alto Keys K98M to see if I'm ready for the mechanical keyboard life, digging into the history of the first chatbot, clearing space on my desk for a Bob Ross deskmat, doing a full Ted Lasso rewatch ahead of the new season next week, finally getting into Cyberpunk 2077 now that it's so cheap, cackling and nodding at this A … Read the full story at The Verge.

With Switch 2, iPhone, and laptop tricks, the Sharge Disk Pro 2 is finally a worthy EDC
The Sharge Disk Pro 2. | Photo by Sean Hollister / The Verge Sharge, the company that makes delightful retro Mac-shaped chargers and see-inside batteries, is finally impressing me with a portable SSD. I couldn't recommend the Sharge Disk, Disk Plus, or even the Disk Pro, but I'd be happy to own the new Disk Pro 2 Ultra. This isn't just a drive. It's a 4K HDMI dock and a USB-C hub too. It's a veritable USB-C Swiss Army Knife for all your main gadgets: laptop, tablet, phone, Steam Deck, even the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. And this USB multitool has built-in MagSafe pattern magnets to stick it to your iPhone, Pixel, or anything where you're willing to stick a magnetic ring. (One stick-on ring is in … Read the full story at The Verge.

Structured AI data pipelines score 10.9 points below free-form code — DataFlow-Harness closes the gap
If you ask an AI coding agent to write a standalone Python script to parse a single JSON file, it will likely give you a perfect answer in seconds. But the same agent often breaks if you ask it to build a systematic data processing pipeline, like ingesting thousands of messy documents, chunking text, scoring quality, and filtering noise for a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that fits your specific enterprise stack.While large language models (LLMs) excel at one-off code generation, their outputs for complex data-processing tasks are typically free-form, disposable scripts. These scripts are detached from the governable workflow abstractions that MLOps teams rely on for production, making them difficult to audit or edit visually.To address this, researchers at Peking University, Zhongguancun Academy, and Shanghai’s Institute for Advanced Algorithms Research introduced DataFlow-Harness, an open-source framework that guides an LLM agent to build structured, visual data-process

Apple’s new AirTags are back down to their best price
Both Amazon and Costco are offering some solid deals. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge We spotted a great deal on Tile trackers earlier this week that s still live, but if you re an iPhone owner, we ultimately recommend Apple’s latest AirTag. Right now, you can pick up a four-pack for $89 ($10 off) at Amazon and Target, matching the bundle’s all-time low price. If you’re a member, Costco also has a deal that throws in a fifth AirTag for free. Apple AirTags (second-generation) Where to Buy: $99 $89 at Amazon (pack of four) $99 $89.99 at Target (pack of four) A growing number of Bluetooth trackers can tap into Apple s Find My network these days, but none combine that with Apple’s latest ultra wideband (UWB) chip, which powers even better Precision Finding than before. Precision Finding uses on-screen arrows and distance indicators in the Find My app to guide you directly to a misplaced item, while the second-generation AirTag s upgraded chip and extended Bluetooth range make
How is your enterprise tracking AI agent telemetry? Groundcover thinks it should never leave your cloud
The AI agent observability space is taking off — but how can enterprises be sure what observability products and solutions they need?Observability startup groudcover (lower case g intentional) announced this week that it raised $100 million in a round led by One Peak, bringing its total funding to $160 million. The company says it has more than 250 paying customers, tripled annual recurring revenue over the past year and is increasingly replacing established observability platforms inside enterprise environments. Those are company-reported figures, but together they point to growing momentum in one of enterprise software s most competitive markets.That market has long been dominated by companies including Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, Splunk and Grafana. Between them, they represent billions of dollars in annual revenue and years of product maturity. Breaking into that group has never been easy.groundcover s argument is that artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the assump
