Steam Client Update Released


A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.

General
  • Fix URL bar displaying on HTTPS pages when ‘Display Steam URL’ setting is disabled. Steam URL bar will now respect the setting unless on a page with a security issue in which case it will always show to display the error.

  • Fix steamwebhelper crash causes when requests are unexpectedly canceled.


Library
  • Allow creating shelves for shared libraries.

  • Disable screenshot slideshow in app hovers if Low Bandwidth or Low Performance mode is enabled.

  • Fix some cases where mismatched header images were cached for some games.

  • Fix duplicated game activity items from sometimes appearing.

  • Allow Family Sharing of tools.

  • Fix new categories created in small mode or Big Picture mode not being properly saved when switching to normal mode.

  • Fix recently played but disallowed by Family View games not appearing in the Recent Games shelf (or the MRU jump list) when Family View is enabled at startup.

  • Fix rendering of steam award images in news updates.


Remote Play Together
  • Hosting on Windows and Linux automatically starts a Steam Voice chat with invited players when available. Invited Friends can optionally join and accept the voice chat in a single click.

  • Players in the session are visible to all players for adjusting Steam Voice Chat mic volumes.

  • All players’ status is now updated to show that they are playing the game together in the Friends List.

  • Fixed host not being able to adjust the last player's input settings in some cases.

  • More players fit in the vertical scrolling area.

  • When a Remote Play Together session is already running, trying to invite a different friend to a different game allows the host to easily end the existing stream.

  • Game volume and fullscreen/windowed preferences are remembered across sessions for the client.

  • Family Sharing can now be used in conjunction with Remote Play Together.


Linux
  • Update steam runtime and container runtime (0.20191119.3): improved graphics drivers diagnostics.

  • Implement a workaround for filesystems with failing 32 bit statfs64 calls (free disk space checks).

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

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.

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? ...
