News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I don't notice it when using it for work. I barely notice it when using it for console games. Probably wouldn't want to use it for competitive shooters, but non-issue for most other games.

Few more notes:

- I use PCIE rather than USB for the capture card

- Can be costly if you need 4k + multiple inputs (for multiple "monitors" as different OBS windows)

- I had issues getting the capture card to recognize scaled HiDPI resolutions from my work Mac

An alternative approach that I've taken is to have the HDMIs from my work desktop plugged into a capture card on my main Windows desktop. I then use the preview from OBS to see the display and also hear the audio. Still need a separate keyboard + mouse, but I like being able to move/minimize my work OBS window off to the side when I'm not actively working.

I also use this setup with gaming consoles so that I don't have to dedicate an entire monitor.

This is awesome. I search by time frame all the time and it was infuriating when that stopped working with Reddit.

Do you have any plans on putting it up as a Firefox extension as well?
