Two-Person Startup Declares War on Microwaves’ Soul-Crushing Beeps
KEY POINTS
- •A two-person startup successfully created a solution to fix one of today's most hated sounds: microwave beeps.
- •The July 2026 Installer newsletter from The Verge covered topics including Meta glasses, mechanical keyboards, and a Bob Ross deskmat.
- •The newsletter also mentions revisiting the first chatbot's history, streaming Ted Lasso before the new season, and finally playing Cyberpunk 2077.
In a world where microwave beeps inspire existential dread, a heroic two-person startup stepped up to silence the nation’s most hated noise. While the rest of us wasted evenings whining or muttering beneath an avalanche of Meta glasses reviews and mechanical keyboard fetish articles, these duo-warriors rewrote the cacophonous soundtrack of our kitchen lives. Meanwhile, The Verge's Installer newsletter No. 138 keeps multitasking like a distracted DJ, juggling Meta’s cursed eyewear, mechanical keyboards, Alex vs. Alix fame battles, chatbot trivia, a Bob Ross deskmat, Ted Lasso binge sessions, and the Cyberpunk 2077 renaissance now that it costs less than a sad lunch. Modern life, condensed into one newsletter, reminding us all that if you want peace, you probably need someone tiny to negotiate with the microwave.
