I picked up the Samsung Odyssey G9 49" some months ago during the (nearly too good to be true) GameStop PowerUp promo. With a curvature of 1000R it matches the human eye's FOV at 1 meter and provides a great experience for games which support the 32:9 aspect ratio. Although Samsung primarily targets gamers for the marketing of the display, productivity apps are excellent as well; 49" + Windows 11's enhanced support for window docking has allowed me to do away with a dual-display setup. There are a few oddities which may help others: Adaptive-Sync cannot be "On" with Screen Size "Auto" If your game does not support an ultra wide 32:9 aspect ratio, you cannot use AMD's FreeSync or NVIDIA's G-SYNC. The "Auto" setting for Screen Size provides vertical black bars on the left/right to provide proper display of non-ultra wide content; when this setting is disabled due to Adaptive-Sync your game will become horribly stretched across 49&q
The crypto community is abuzz with the introduction of the Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act . Although I have yet to see comprehensive analysis - as release occurred just this morning (6/7/22) - I was pleasantly surprised in my own reading by the evenhandedness. The legislation is largely targeting industry players (brokers, exchanges, stablecoin issuers, etc.) though there are some interesting items for the individual, which will be my primary lens for commentary: Section 101 Definitions The definition of a "PAYMENT STABLECOIN" (5D) excludes digital assets backed by other digital assets. An asset like the ill-fated UST backed by BTC would not be considered a stablecoin; or a theoretical digital asset backed by multiple stablecoins would not be considered a stablecoin. Section 201 Gain or loss from disposition of virtual currency The $200 exemption is a nice convenience, many every day items can now be purchased with crypto and no longer require the gain
