The last Installer of the year is here! This week, we explore a new smart home voice assistant, a promising social network app, the next Sonic movie, and more. Plus, get your most requested homescreen ever. Share your holiday recommendations and what you're into right now!

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 65, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, get ready to take up all your phone’s storage space, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This is the last Installer of the year! I’m taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays, and I hope you’re getting some relaxation in too.

Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed to this newsletter, emailed me your recommendations, told me I’m a lunatic about to-do lists, and generally been part of the Installerverse this year. Making this newsletter is so much fun, and I’m so thrilled to get to do it with you. Bigger and better next year! This week, I’ve been reading about Spotify’s ghost artists and Formula 1 and Mufasa and the deeply silly New York Jets, watching Hot Frosty (you can judge me, it’s fine) and re-watching 30 Rock, beating Balatro for the very first time, and trying to convince my toddler that it’s actually not fun and cool and great to wake up at 4am every day. I also have for you a nifty new smart home controller, a new app for the future of social networks, the next Sonic movie, and much more. Plus, our most-requested homescreen… ever? Let’s do this. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What are you into right now? What should everyone else be playing / reading / watching / building / upgrading this holiday season? Tell me everything: [email protected]. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, tell them to subscribe here.) --- The Drop * Home Assistant Voice. I am currently actively avoiding becoming a Home Assistant person, because I know as soon as I get a Green in my house I’ll become a full-on smart home lunatic. But this new voice assistant and microphone — you can call it Jarvis! — has me more enticed than ever. I might spend the holidays tearing my house apart. * Flipboard Sur
