Meta’s smart glasses have been a hit in part because they don’t try to do too much. With the new Display glasses, though, Meta is trying to do… a lot more. The Verge’s Victoria Song joins the show to tell us about her experience with the glasses, from the impressive but very first-gen hardware to the somewhat underwhelming set of things you can do. After that, podcaster and creator Stephen Robles explains to David why he’s dead wrong about Apple Shortcuts. Stephen shares how he uses Shortcuts, why he’s found such a big audience of Shortcuts fans on YouTube and elsewhere, and why it’s worth doing the work to learn Apple’s most powerful app. Finally, David answers a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about which wireless earbuds you should buy — and why it might be the pair you already own.
