Steam Client Update Released


A new steam client has been released and is being automatically downloaded.

General
  • Windows users on 64bit operating systems now get a 64bit steamwebhelper.exe process
  • Fixed one case where the built-in browser could crash during initialization or video playback
  • Fixed some cases users would not auto-login to Steam web pages inside the Steam Client
  • Fixed cases where text was blurry in web/chat/friends windows for users with nVidia FXAA forced on for Steam or system wide
  • Fixed Steam UI freezing when system accent color is changed on Windows
  • Fixed querying for available disk space in macOS when running on an APFS filesystem
  • Fixed Steam shortcut handling when using non-US keyboard layouts on macOS
  • Ensure DRM support is available on playback of a Steam Video after first launch of a new Steam client install

New Steam Chat
  • Fix for a bug where receiving a new message from a user who you don’t have a chat window open with could undo cursor/mouse locking to the game window in some games. The game didn’t actually lose focus, but your mouse might suddenly move out of the game window and cause you to click on another app or a second monitor and then change focus when this would occur.
  • Fixed some cases the friends list or chat dialogs would take focus on startup, after a crash, or after a reload in an unintended manner
  • Fixed the friends list showing when Steam was launched from a games desktop shortcut that should not show Steam related UI
  • Fixed users with certain sound cards or audio drivers on Windows sounding staticky or stuttery after a little while in Voice Chat
  • Fixed several cases of steamwebhelper.exe related crashes
  • Rich presence features (View Game Info, Join Game, Launch Game) now work on macOS and Linux
  • Added Command-Left/Right text entry shortcuts and Command-[Shift]-Z undo/redo shortcuts on macOS
  • Invite to Watch now appears in friends’ context menus when the user is running a non-Steam game
  • Fixed old chat UI appearing in the overlay when trying to chat from inside a game (like /w in Dota)
  • Fixed clicking on an achievement notification bringing up the old friends list UI
  • Outgoing friend invitations are now shown in the invitations tab on the friends list
  • Fixed taskbar jumplist entries for Online, Away, and Invisible not working if the user was in offline mode.

Steam Input
  • Improved automatic gyro drift compensation, it should now correct actual drift quickly but also be much less likely to erroneously correct desired user movement
  • Prevent Switch controllers already connected over Bluetooth from double connecting over USB and auto-disconnect USB connection if controller is connected over Bluetooth
  • Fixed jumpy gyro mouse movement for Switch controllers
  • Fixed phantom Xbox 360 controller on Mac OS X
  • Fixed a bug where dismissing the on-screen keyboard on the desktop would snap focus onto the Steam client window


Steam Link

Big Picture
  • Fixed Big Picture mode closing when a game launcher exited during an NVIDIA GameStream session
  • Cancel Steam Link authorization if Big Picture is closed without responding to the dialog
  • Fix missing strings in settings dialog for 1440p and 2160p streaming resolution
  • Fixed a problem where the "Login" button in Big Picture would be unresponsive in some situations

Linux
  • Added preliminary support for the new Steam Play Beta; refer to this announcement for more information

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

By Liam McCabe This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter . When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
