    alex_theman got a reaction from Septimus in The text of Article 13 and the EU Copyright Directive has just been finalised   
    As you may know, Article 13 and the EU Copyright Directive has gone through a long and winding process to get this far. While some minor changes have been made, they will still vastly affect large swathes of the internet,  including this forum and potentially even LMG as a whole, entrench big players like Google and Facebook, who can afford to make robust filters, and hurt independent creators by making it significantly harder for them to distribute thier content. Article 13 basically requires that sites remove any possible copyright infringing content, or get licenses for that content, even if the content would likely fall under fair use exceptions. Indeed, one of the groups lobbying for the bill, along with the legacy music and film industries, was Audible Magic, a company who sells filtering software.
     
    However, you can still do something (besides getting the word out) about this poorly conceived law if you're in a member of the EU. Look at the article below to see your options.

    alex_theman reacted to SanityAgathion in Microboard Korean Curved Ultrawide 100Hz Gaming Monitor   
    100 Hz refresh rate compared to 75 Hz of LG.
     
    Other very important details about this monitor, missed in this review:
    Model  M340CLZ
    New panel from Samsung; Microboard probably got to it as either engineering samples or second-rate finalized panels because at the time of release from Microboard Samsung hasn't introduced their monitors yet
    8 ms response time on default setting, 4 ms on fast setting
    42-100 Hz Freesync refresh rate
    But according to manufacturer's page panel can go up to 144 Hz on 2560x1080 resolution!!!
    Can use 2 inputs separately for PIP/PBP

    Other Youtube review:
    Hope it helps other people looking for the same information that were omitted from this review. It actually starts looking really interesting, except for color reproduction and guarantee.

    You need to include quotes from the article in your post and then give your insight/opinion on the quote.

    Well, if you only intend to capture from a console and then stream, I'd say you just get a beefy external capture device. Avermedia has some good ones that you can put storage in and all sorts of things. And if your laptop does what you need to do in terms of editing, I say you keep it until you find you need more muscle.
