How can two players play the new F1 23 in split screen? Where can you find the split screen mode and how do you invite a second player? In the past few days, this may be the question asked by one or the other player who has bought the new F1 23 for the PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series or One. In the new F1 offshoot, you can not only compete online with friends and drive together, but there is also local multiplayer with split-screen mode.
Enable split screen in F1 2023
If you want to play F1 23 with another person in front of a console or a PC in split screen, simply select local multiplayer and split screen in the main menu. Then you have to add the second player by registering the second controller or by connecting another controller or keyboard to the PC. You can then select the category and route and both players can choose a team and a driver.
In the main menu of F1 23 select the sub-item “Local Multiplayer” and “Splitscreen”.
Register the second player by logging in from the second controller/keyboard and selecting a category, track, team and driver.
Finally, you can make various settings for the race and, for example, adjust the driving aids or set the difficulty. Incidentally, the driving aids can be set individually for each player.
You can then start with “Start event” and you can start the race weekend.
Play career in split screen?
Even if you can start a co-op career in F1 23, according to previous information you cannot play the career locally in split-screen. For co-op mode, the other player must have their own console/PC with the game. You can then start a “two-player career” via “Career” and invite your friend.
By the way, in the current version of F1 23 there is only a horizontal split screen. The vertical split-screen view preferred by some split-screen players is not available.
A new on-board computer brings Android Auto to the motorcycle. Unfortunately, there are still some snags with the smart screen.
With NaviCam you use Android Auto on a motorcycle
Android Auto is extremely popular. Almost all car manufacturers support the on-the-road platform, but this does not apply to motorcycles. Not yet, anyway. , a Hong Kong company, wants to change this.
With the NaviCam you use Android Auto on a motorcycle. This mini computer has a 6.86-inch LCD screen, runs Linux and connects wirelessly to smartphones. An aluminum bracket attached to the engine keeps the on-board computer in place.
After all, the NaviCam is more than ‘just’ a screen. The computer can connect to phones and other accessories via Bluetooth and WiFi and has voice navigation thanks to the Google Assistant. Thanks to the maximum brightness of 1000 nits, the display is always readable, even in bright sunlight.
Speaking of weather conditions: the NaviCam has an IP65 certificate. This means that it can withstand dust and water splashes, but is not suitable for rides in the pouring rain. You can also expand the NaviCam with all kinds of accessories, including cameras to film the traffic around you.
Recommended retail price and points of interest
The NaviCam has had a successful launch and the first units are now being delivered. The first buyers received a discount, but via the manufacturer’s official website the engine computer costs 282.95 euros, excluding shipping costs. As mentioned, the NaviCam is supplied with an aluminum bracket. A power cable and remote control are also included.
Although the NaviCam brings Android Auto to motorcycles, there are some drawbacks. For example, the company has not yet managed to release over-the-air updates. This means you have to download new firmware from the NaviCam website, put these files on an SD card and then insert the card into the screen.
Are you unable to adjust the brightness of your smartphone screen when watching Netflix and do you find the image too bright? Then there is one working solution and we will explain it step by step here.
Netflix: HDR content is much too bright
There are tens of millions of Netflix subscribers worldwide. You can watch your favorite series, documentaries or films via a television, tablet or of course your smartphone. Many people have problems with the latter. The brightness of the screen while watching cannot be adjusted. Not in the app itself, but not via the phone settings.
For example, the screen here is at a very low brightness in the evening, but if I open something on Netflix I can often light up the entire room. The problem occurs with so-called HDR content, which stands for . The differences between the maximum brightness and darkness of the screen are then greater than content without an HDR stamp. This should make the image stand out more and details be more visible.
Normally you can adjust the brightness via a button on the left while watching, but for many people this does not work when they view HDR content. You can check this with every film, series or documentary using icons. In addition to HDR, you can also see, for example, whether it was recorded in HD or 4K resolution.
Various solutions are also circulating online, all of which we have tested. Only one worked and that solution is not even ideal. Does the smartphone screen become too bright when you start Netflix? Then grab your phone and follow the steps below.
Open the settings and tap ‘Apps’;
Find ‘Netflix’ in the list and tap it;
Tap ‘Storage & Cache’;
Clear the storage and cache.
You need to log in again
Please note, because once you have performed the above steps, you will have to log in to the Netflix app again. But, there is still a catch. You have to use the digital slider in the app itself to adjust the brightness do not use anymore (with HDR content). If you touch it anyway, the screen will immediately shine at its brightest again until you repeat the steps again.
Should the screen shine a little brighter or less brightly while viewing? Then you have to adjust the overall brightness of the display in your phone’s settings itself – and that’s a bit annoying.
There are more solutions to this problem on the internet that you can try. For example, certain versions of the app are said not to have this problem. You can try to install an older version of Netflix yourself by .
Sometimes restarting your phone can work. It is also said that you have to activate the picture-in-picture mode and then switch back to the app itself, after which the brightness can be adjusted again.
If you have installed a third-party app to control the brightness or adjust the blue light level, turn that off as well. Finally, you can check whether you have enabled a special image enhancer in the settings.
It is likely that many users do not pay too much attention to the screen format when choosing your next laptop, but that’s something that at least in my case is of paramount importance.
In fact, I am an absolute fan of panoramic format (with a 16: 9 or 16:10 aspect ratio) and although I know that for many users the format with the aspect ratio 3: 2 it is better, there is a clear argument for choosing one or the other: the way you work.
The evolution of formats
Until 2003, most computer monitors, both for desktops and laptops, makes use of 4: 3 aspect ratio which were also used in televisions.
It is from there that the manufacturers started to launch laptops in 16:10 format. This option made it possible to convert these computers into perfect machines for enjoying multimedia content in this format (cinema, of course), and PC monitors were infected.
In the second half of the 2000s, the 16:10 aspect ratio became the most popular, and virtually every laptop on the market used it.
This reign was short-lived, as from 2008 the industry introduced a slight variation: 16: 9 aspect ratio screens began to gain traction and also did so because their output was more efficient. The market was inundated with these kinds of screens and televisions, and by the end of 2012 its success was evident: only 23% of screens were 16:10; the rest was 16: 9.
Apple has indeed been the big proponent of the 16:10 format for years, but few have followed this trend, and in fact a TrendForce study has revealed how. less than 2% of Windows laptops would use this aspect ratio in 2019.
The triumph of 16: 9 format screens seemed complete, but something unique happened: the screens have become (a little) more square. Some tablets have started to use Format 3: 2 more and more frequently, and this format has also become the norm in some laptops such as the Surface Pro.
Today the two formats compete in our laptops, and when choosing one or the other it is necessary to understand how each user uses their laptop.
Maximized applications or two (or more) split windows
Manufacturers who have supported the 3: 2 aspect ratio format – like Microsoft – have argued that it was a perfect hybrid that took the best of both worlds, 4: 3 and 16: 9. Movies are viewed without large black bands (although they are certainly there) and run in a maximized application.
Source: Windows Central.
In Windows Central, they made a good case for this 3: 2 aspect ratio by explaining how the resolution we end up having on a 3: 2 screen promotes productivity, but it does in one clear case: when you only want to have one window on the screen.
It’s in this scenario where, of course, a team that uses a screen with this aspect ratio wins integers: the amount of information that can be displayed for example in a web browser is greater, and if you work that way, with an application in front of you, that’s your format.
This is not my way of using the laptop (or the PC). There are probably not a lot of people with the way I use a PC, but for me it’s usually essential have two browser windows each occupying half the screen.
It allows me to write or take notes on one half of the screen and do my research or research on the subject I’m working on in the other. I end up applying this user experience to other scenarios, and actually for me it was a small blessing that Microsoft introduced the mechanism years ago to dock windows to half the screen (or quarter if we drag them to a corner).
There is certainly utilities that allow you to divide space even more powerfully, and some of you surely argue that this way of working doesn’t help so much when we no longer have the task switcher (Alt + Tab), but when Microsoft offered users support years ago for them. large virtual offices.
Although I use both options as an auxiliary, always keep these windows in mind on screens it makes me much more comfortable to change the context, of the “way of working”. It’s, in essence, like working in a multi-monitor environment, but without needing two monitors.
We can already often see laptops and tablets with 3: 2 aspect ratio displays, but this option is not used on PC monitors.
One reason why we must have fans of the 16: 9 aspect ratio when its rival is seen every time on laptops and tablets, but not on PC monitors. Working precisely on a desktop computer invites you to have a bigger screen where you can see more things at the same time, and this is where a panoramic format helps to better distribute those spaces. Let’s not say ultra-panoramic, of course.
For my work in Engadget I had the opportunity to test all kinds of equipment, but whenever I face a model with a 3: 2 screen the same thing happens: splitting the screen is rare . It always gives me the feeling that the application windows are “flattened”probably because I’m used to my Dell XPS 13 with a 16: 9 screen.
It is true that the problem is usually alleviated by customizing the working resolution (making everything smaller), but this is not an optimal option for me and I always end up reaffirming myself in my preference for a widescreen laptop. For me – and this is what matters after all – this is the one that best suits the way I use this equipment.
Fortunately, there are options to suit all tastes when shopping for a laptop, and while some brands and models are inevitably associated with one aspect ratio or another, the alternatives are there. Of course: be very careful when choosing. Whether the screen has one aspect or another has more crumbs than it looks.
One of the most useful and underused functions in our Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO mobiles is the multi-window function, a shortcut that is used to display several application windows at the same time on the mobile screen. We tell you how to activate this function and make the most of it.
And it is that with multi-window or split screen It will be as if we had two monitors, being able to open two applications at the same time and make use of them. With this function, for example, we can reply on WhatsApp while watching a video on YouTube at the same time, or write notes in Google Keep without having to close the news item we are reading. A tool that multiplies productivity and that is very useful on current smartphones capable of multitasking.
How to activate multi-window on your mobile with MIUI 14, also compatible with MIUI 13
To be able to use the split screen you have two options, depending on whether you use gestures, that is, if you play in full screen or if you use the usual three buttons on the bottom bar of the screen.
If you use the gestures you will have to drag with your finger from the lower frame to see all the open applications and choose which ones you want to create a multi-window or split screen with. If you use the buttons, you just have to click on the square icon that shows all the open applications and follow the same process, choose which one you want to create the multi-window with, keeping your finger pressed on it.
This will unlock a pop-up menu and you will only have to follow these steps:
tap on it two rectangles icon which is used to create a split screen or on the frame within another frame which is used to create a popup window within another main window.
If you choose the first option you will see that you can open two windows at the same time and if you touch the central bar you can go up or down and regulate how much space you want each one to use.
You can even rotate this function and see the two open windows horizontally or vertically, as shown in the following image.
Best of all, this split screen feature is also compatible with all phones equipped with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11, and with phones equipped with MIUI 13 based on Android 12.
Finally, whenever you want to close one of the windows, press ‘Exit’ on it and it will close, leaving only a single window open. You can reopen new windows as many times as you want. Yes indeed, there are some applications that are not compatible. They are those that have protection against screen recording, such as Netflix and other streaming platforms.
However, most messaging apps and many video games are compatible with this useful tool. Get the most out of it, you will see how very useful it can be.
