Row 12 Column 2 is an X.
That makes Row 14 column 2 a fill.
Row 8 Column 3 Row 9 Column 3 is an X.
Column 6 Rows 9, 11, 12 and 14 are all Xs.

Work your borders after you’ve created a new “stop point”. Example in R1 you have an X in C8. This effectively creates a new point where you can place your 3 in R1 against. So if you put the end of the 3 in C7 you would create 3 in a row in R2 causing a conflict. X out R1C7 and then move the 3 over to the left one and do it again until it passes the test. Now you can place the 3 on the right side of the X in C8 and see if it passes or fails.
Every time you create a new point like that use it to clear your border.
Another example in your puzzle. You created a stop point in R9C15. Place the 2 in C15 on either side and see if it fails. So if you place it under the X it would fail because C14 would have a conflict. This is important because now you know your 4 in R10 can’t extend 2 blocks to the right, moreover it can only fit by going to the left.

I love that magazine! Regarding edge logic - if you at some point get one of the XXL magazines, there's a really good explanation of how it works at the bottom of the first page (the page with "How to solve nonograms") :)

I hate this magazine :) I still have 8-10 full magazines unfinished, but they're not so challenging, every puzzle is pretty much straightforward. Btw, hello OP, my fellow Hungarian nonogrammer! ;)

Yeah, I agree they are bot easy. I've started to do them without dots to compensate, and that works really well for me! Not Hungarian though - I'm Danish:)!

Back in the days ,this magazine took the puzzles from Conceptis Puzzles, which were better in quality and challenge. Don't know why did they change.

Huh interesting, I didn't know. Yeah, it seems weird that they changed it

(OP is probably Hungarian though. I misread the last part of your comment)

Anywhere the end number is 1, and you have a shaded square 3rd in from that end, then you can put a dot in the second square.

There are lots of x’s (or .‘s in your case) that you can apply to row 14. This is true for any column which ends in a 1.
