While Google Sheets provides you with hundreds of functions, it also allows you to create your own.

Using Named Functions, you title your function, give it a description, add argument placeholders, and enter the definitions. You can then use your custom functions across the sheets in your workbook and import them into other Google Sheets workbooks....

The answer file is just a simple text file, so you can create your own or edit a previous answer file.

Installing Software from Optional Repositories There are thousands of Linux programs stored as software archives that are commonly referred to as ‘Repositories’. Ubuntu comes with four predefined repositories: Main – Officially supported software. Restricted – Supported software that is not available under a completely free license. Universe – Community maintained software, i. e. not officially supported software. Multiverse – Software that is not free. Ubuntu’s software repository is fully configurable and we can add new repositories in order to install software from other repositories outside the above predefined repositories....

How Wirelessly Electric Vehicle Charging Works Wireless EV charging works in a similar fashion to the way smartphones charge — via magnetic induction. Induction charging works by creating an electromagnetic field in one area, usually via a charged coil of metal, that creates a current in another area close enough to be affected by that field. Because the electromagnetic field creates the current, no cord is necessary to transfer power....

Getting Started To try out the new Live Messenger, you’ll need to install the new Windows Live Essentials beta. Download the Essentials installer (link below), and install as normal. Many users will already have Messenger installed, so it will be updated to the latest version; otherwise, make sure to check it in the installer. We’ve already looked at an overview of the new Live Essentials, so if you’d like more information about the installation process and the other Essentials apps, check out our Screenshot Tour of the New Windows Live Essentials Beta....

You’ve probably experienced the difficulty of conveying emotion in text conversations. Emoji can help with that, but so can the punctuation and formatting you use. One of the most powerful punctuation marks in text messaging is the humble period. The End. Period. Punctuation has a couple of different purposes. The first is for formatting—without periods and commas, we’d have large blocks of text with no starts and stops. The second is for setting the tone—question marks and exclamation points tell us how a sentence sounds....

Once you are at the terminal prompt, you will first want to check that the vcgencmd utility is available to you....

To put it simply—they have everything. AWS has so many services that we couldn’t list them all in this article, so there will almost certainly be something to suit your use case. You’ll likely make use of multiple AWS services, rather than renting a large server or two to run everything. This is the major change compared to other providers, but it should make your network much more scalable and fault tolerant....

Lets face it, we’re not the best PHP programmers, or else we’d probably remember how to do this without having to look it up all the time, right? I mean, I’ve looked this one up so many times that I’m actually writing about it in the hopes that I’ll remember next time. Sad! Luckily this one is really easy and our shame will be over quickly. So here’s the syntax:...

Bose is known for making some of the most premium audio products on the planet. This is evidenced by our review team, which pitted a bunch of wireless earbuds against one another in the ultimate product showdown.

While Windows systems have options to wake themselves to run scheduled tasks, if users access their systems remotely (i.e. Remote Web Workplace) there is not an easy way for the system to be awakened on demand. The solution is implementing a Wake on LAN system such as the free ASP.NET Wake on LAN Control Panel. Through this, client computers can be brought out of standby with the simple click of a button....

AI art is 2022’s hottest trend, and it’s all thanks to models like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. Using those, you’re able to generate eerily realistic AI-fueled images. Stable Diffusion 2 has been officially released, bringing several improvements — and apparently being nerfed in other aspects. Stable Diffusion 2’s biggest improvements have been neatly summarized by Stability AI, but basically, you can expect more accurate text prompts and more realistic images....
