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. 00:00 Intro 03:05 Discussion on Smart Glasses Usability 21:13 Privacy Concerns and Ethical Implications 36:23 Apple Shortcuts Debate 42:18 Enhancing Screenshots with iPhone Frames 43:17 Creating and Sharing Shortcuts 43:44 Automating Daily Tasks with Shortcuts 45:47 Advanced Shortcuts and Apple Intelligence 49:07 Building Custom Shortcuts for Unique Needs 58:06 The Future of Shortcuts and AI Integration 01:00:05 Practical Uses and Community Requests 01:06:22 Challenges and Improvements in Shortcuts 01:14:36 Vergecast Hotline Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61 Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX Follow on TikTok: http://bit.ly/42VeCVU Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/40RFRkg The Vergecast Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WQDexZ Decoder with Nilay Patel: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com/podcasts Read More: http://www.theverge.com Community guidelines: http://bit.ly/2D0hlAv Wallpapers from The Verge: https://bit.ly/2xQXYJr Shop our Verge merch store here: https://bit.ly/4kPCmEc Subscribe to The Verge: https://bit.ly/3FT6n5S Subscribe to The Vergecast on YouTube, new episodes on Tuesday and Friday: https://bit.ly/3I6nJtz If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may receive a commission without exerting any influence on editorial content.
