A new hobby – F1 sim racing, console style… on the Xbox Series X

Average time to read: 7 minutes

Like many, though the Dutch probably a bit more than others I have become a fan of F1 racing throughout the last couple of years. I don’t have to explain how this happened, right? I don’t know every rule in the F1 book or how an F1 engine works in detail, I just think it is extremely entertaining and educational at the same time, from a hobby perspective, of course.

Average time to read: 3 minutes

I have a dual monitor setup (normal and widescreen) and do a lot of presentations, webinars, demos etc. (multiple times per day). If I do not change my default screen resolution (3440 X 1440) of my main screen the experience from a viewer perspective is sub-optimal, at least. A lower, non-widescreen resolution is preferred. That’s why I was looking for an easy way to get this working from my Elgato Stream Deck.
