HID Remapper Extends Steam Controller Usability Beyond Steam

A May 20 update to HID Remapper adds full Steam Controller support, enabling inputs to work outside Steam on Windows and Linux and making the controller compatible with Nintendo Switch, Android devices, and Xbox Series consoles. All inputs—including trackpads, touch sensors, and accelerometer/gyro—are usable, and there are DIY converter files plus inexpensive pre-built options (as low as about $17.50), though you may need to flash firmware or assemble an enclosure.

Warp links Android and Mac for cross-platform file sharing via the cloud

Warp is a beta cross‑platform file-sharing setup that pairs an Android app with a Chrome extension to transfer images, videos, documents, or text from Android to a Mac, Windows, or Linux PC. It uploads content to Google Drive and keeps only the latest 10 files, requiring Google account linking. While convenient for quick transfers and multi‑device use, large transfers (like a 2 GB video) can be slow compared with direct device‑to‑device transfers.

Samsung expands AirDrop-style sharing to older Galaxy devices, but glitches linger

Samsung is extending its AirDrop-like file sharing to older Galaxy models (S22/S23/S24/S25 and Z Fold 7) via updates to Quick Share and its modules, but the feature isn’t fully working yet. Some users can see the option to share with Apple devices, while others cannot, and even when visible, nearby Apple devices may not appear. It appears server-side switches plus firmware/Play Services updates are involved, with Samsung likely to push further fixes in future updates.
