Writing the Formula Writing formulas in an MS Works spreadsheet is a little different from how it is done in math class. An MS Works formula starts with an equal sign ( = ) rather than ending with it. The equal sign always goes in the cell where you want the formula answer to appear.

On March 1, some Steam Deck users reported that the control sticks on their Steam Deck were registering movement without any input (drift). The news was particularly concerning since Valve’s new handheld console had just started delivering less than a week before. But before you go opening up your Steam Deck to fix it yourself, Valve has a solution: download the latest update. Reddit user Stijnnl shared a reply from Valve support on the matter, with Steam Deck designer Lawrence Yang issuing a similar statement on Twitter....
According to a blog post, all users on the platform can start hosting and sharing Dolby Vision regardless of their tier. Dolby Vision is a new video format that can produce cinema-grade content thanks to its HDR (high dynamic range) technology.

It was implemented into the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro when they launched last October, but there wasn’t a platform where users could share their Dolby Vision videos....
What Is a VOB File? A file with the .VOB file extension is most likely a DVD video object file, which can contain both video and audio data, as well as other movie-related content like subtitles and menus. They’re sometimes encrypted and normally seen stored at the root of a DVD within the VIDEO_TS folder. 3D models/objects created by the E-on Vue 3D modeling program use this file extension, too. They can be textured using the information stored in a MAT (Vue Material) file....
Apple Watch Series 3 users have had some problems with watchOS 8 since its launch last month, which Apple hopes to fix with the latest watchOS 8.0.1 update.

While Apple includes a simple pair of wired earbuds with every iOS device, AirPods offer a number of advantages that you might consider worth upgrading. How AirPods Are Different Than Earbuds Since the very first iPhone was released in 2007, Apple has included a simple pair of wired earbuds in the box. If you’ve owned at least one iPhone or iPad, you’ve probably used them. Both earbuds are wired in a Y-connection to an audio connector that plugs into your phone....
In color theory, contrasting colors are exactly opposite from each other on the color wheel. Designers apply the terms complementary and clashing more loosely than in the strict color theory sense. Colors within a small range on the opposite side of the color wheel—usually the color on each side of the color directly opposite—are also considered opposites, not just a specific color pair. Clashing colors can work together in a design depending on the amount of color and how close they appear together on the page or screen....
The housing of a laptop, netbook, or tablet is also considered a case, but since they aren’t purchased separately or very replaceable, the computer case tends to refer to the one that’s part of a traditional desktop PC. Some popular computer case manufacturers include Xoxide, NZXT, and Antec. Important Computer Case Facts Motherboards, computer cases, and power supplies all come in different sizes called form factors. All three must be compatible to work properly together....
Think of a data center as a “computer room” that outgrew its walls. They can store any kind of data, be it emails for a company’s users, financial records, website data, etc. What Are Data Centers Used For? Some online services are so large they can’t be run from one or two servers. Instead, they need thousands or millions of connected computers to store and process all the data required to make those services work....

How Trickle Chargers Work Many battery chargers put out a variety of amperages, the idea being to charge a battery slowly or quickly depending on the need. Some are also designed to be left connected long-term without overcharging. So when you hear people talk about trickle chargers, that’s typically what they’re referring to. For general use, any battery charger, or trickle charger, that puts out between about 1 and 3 amps will do, and you don’t really need one with float mode monitoring unless you want to be able to leave it connected for some reason....

People always want the most immersive experience possible, especially when it comes to entertainment. It’s the reason why Renaissance Fairs are located away from highways so the only sounds you hear are the steady clop of hooves and the clash of swords. It’s the reason why movie theaters turn off the lights so you can only see the screen. According to Wikipedia, an immersive experience (and in turn, immersion) is “the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world....

What Is the FAT File System? FAT was the primary file system used in all of Microsoft’s consumer operating systems from MS-DOS through Windows ME. Even though FAT is still a supported option on Microsoft’s newer operating systems, NTFS is the primary file system used these days. The File Allocation Table file system has seen advancements over time, primarily due to the need to support larger hard disk drives and larger file sizes....
Besides propagation delays, latency may also involve transmission delays (properties of the physical medium) and processing delays (such as passing through proxy servers or making network hops on the internet). Latency and Network Speed Though the perception of network speed and performance is usually understood as bandwidth, latency is the other key element. The average person is more familiar with the concept of bandwidth because that’s the metric that manufacturers of network equipment typically advertise....
What Is Overclocking? To put it in its simplest terms, overclocking is taking a computer component such as a processor and running at a specification higher than rated by the manufacturer. In other words, you can run your computer harder and faster than it was designed to run if you overclock it. Companies such as Intel and AMD rate every part they produce for specific speeds. They test the capabilities of each one and certify it for that given speed....
Why Should You Use RAW Images? If you’re new to photography, you may not understand all the fuss about RAW images. What makes them so great? The short answer is because a RAW image maintains all the data captured by the image sensor of your camera. But a longer explanation may be better. When you take a picture with your DSLR camera, the image sensor captures light, shadow, and tones of colors for the length of time your shutter is open....
