Word that encompasses USB and PCIE, but not LAN
AshesAndWool replied to AshesAndWool's topic in Storage Devices
Perfect, you the man<3 -
I am writing about different storage devices and categorizing them. I want a single word that categorizes storage devices like NVME PCIE SSD's internal SSD's, external SSD's, internal HDD's and external HDD's, but not NAS'es connected through LAN or offsite "devices" like a private server or paid cloud service. I tried words like "Physical" or "Wired" but those would also include NAS's and local servers, is there a word here that's staring me in the face that I don't know? Thanks for your time, it's a weird question I know.

Hey guys, really awkward formulation in the question because I am not really sure what the terminology is, but I can explain it perfectly with the problem I have: I am making a huge spreadsheet that uses Letters as name for both the x and y axis, and I could name each cell manually but it would be way faster if excel could do this for me. Here are the images of what I am trying to do, and the abstract "formula" I want. Is there any way to make excel do this? I want it to take the numbers of the marked cells in the formula and spell out the letter in the cells after each other in a si

I want to start doing as many things as possible on my pc instead of in physical form. This inlcudes reading, buying and storing books, so I want to have a library of my favorite books in pdf format on my NAS so I don't depend on for example Amazon to keep using their kindle format. I think I read that the amazon ebook format's drm has been cracked and is therefore easily converted to pdf online, is this true? Can I count on amazon's drm to stay cracked or is there a better way of doing this alltogether? Do I have to use other less used stores to get the files in pdf-format from the beginning?

I want to create a pc where the fans are off under most light load, but when the temperature sensors connected to a commander pro detects a high temperature all the case fans turn on. Does the icue software or any software that can control a commander pro have this option? (I want this to only turn on when the case turns hot from the heat of the graphics card, therefore I can't use the cpu temp as the trigger in the bios or other software)

I want to make a locally stored list of all my friends', and family's names, emails, phone number, addresses, maybe photo etc. What would be the cleanest, most future-proof way to do this? My first thought was to store each contact as its own docx / odf document (or one long document) for easy compatibility, but after googling for a few minutes I now realise that there are formats like VCF and CSV specifically for this usecase. Has anyone made something similar / have some knowledge of this that they want to share? What are the safest and best formats and programs? Thanks for the time.

I'm studying for my IT-exam and one of the basics here is that every pixel uses byte and bits to store information. The text book is a bit outdated so it says that "we use 3 bytes to store color information for each pixel, and we call this 24-bit color depth." Now this confused me a bit because I have a pretty high-end color accurate monitor that has "10-bit color". Now after doing some digging online I now learned that there is something called bits per component and bits per pixel. Am I correct when I guess that the book was referring to the bits per pixel of an image, while my monitor has 1

Is "file format" just slang for container?
AshesAndWool replied to AshesAndWool's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for -
If the case fans are connected with a commander pro and controlled by the corsair software, can it turn the fans completely off when the components are cool enough?

Is OOXML or ODF more futureproof?
AshesAndWool replied to AshesAndWool's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
Thanks for the useful information. I think I am going to go with the ODF-format because I might switch to libreoffice in the future and I want my documents to be as readable as possible, but I am going to be using microsoft word for now, do you know / think that microsoft will disable its own doxc-exclusive features when editing an ODF-document or will they look good in the word-software and then get ruined when the file is saved or some weird thing like that? -
Question is in title, this might be debateable.
