What Is a MIN IF Array? Using a MIN IF array formula allows you to find the fastest heat time for each race with one formula. The job of each part of the formula is as follows: The MIN function finds the fastest or smallest time for the event chosen. The IF function allows us to choose the race by setting a condition using the race names. The array formula lets the IF function test for multiple conditions in a single cell, and when the condition is met, the array formula determines what data (race times) the MIN function examines to find the fastest time....

Although there isn’t room here to provide examples from every company and product category, let’s take a look at TV and home theater product categories from some key brands to see what their model numbers reveal. Samsung TV Model Numbers Here are some examples of what Samsung’s TV model numbers tell you. UN65TU7100FXZA: U = LED/LCD TV. N = North America (if there’s an E, it means Europe). 65 = Diagonal screen size in inches....

Starting at just $400 with a lightweight 9th-generation Intel Core i3 processor inside, the Dell Inspiron 3671 ranges upward significantly with higher specs and other perks, albeit without crossing the threshold to being a particularly powerful Windows 10 PC for gaming and intensive media production needs. There are plenty of other options for that. The configuration I tested, with a Core i5 processor and 12GB RAM, isn’t the most inspiring PC that I’ve used lately when it comes to overall power and capabilities, but it can handle basic schoolwork and casual needs with only rare hitches along the way....

When it first arrived on the PlayStation 3 in 2009, Demon’s Souls was adored by critics but passed over by general audiences. The brilliance of developer From Software went unrecognized until they brought the series back with Dark Souls, and from there the Souls games grew into a gaming phenomenon. Now, Bluepoint Games has rebuilt Demon’s Souls from the ground up to be one of the biggest titles to release at launch for the PS5, and 12 years later this lovingly authentic remake aims to deliver all the murderously difficult gameplay of the original with a fresh coat of next-gen graphics....

Disk First Aid was not a full-featured disk repair tool. It concentrated on just the basics: repairing catalogs, extends, and volume bit maps. Disk First Aid was the first line of defense, able to correct minor problems. When Disk First Aid was unable to make a repair, which was common, third-party disk utility tools could often do the trick. With the advent of OS X, Apple vastly improved on the supplied ability to repair a hard drive and folded the functionality of Disk First Aid into the Disk Utility application....

The film studio said it would release a total of 17 movies in 2021, both in theaters (where possible) and on HBO Max, where they will be available for a total of 30 days after the initial release. “The Warner Bros. news is interesting because we have seen the one-off with Mulan on Disney Plus and a few others, but this is at a whole new level because you’re talking about a combined billion dollars worth of content,” Dan Rayburn, a digital media analyst at consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, told Lifewire over the phone....

Check Point Research recently announced it had found a security hole in Qualcomm’s MSM modem chip software that some malicious apps could exploit. Researchers said the vulnerability is present in approximately 40% of smartphones, including those from Samsung, Google, and LG. “The current approach to addressing such security issues is disjointed at best,” Setu Kulkarni, vice president at cybersecurity firm WhiteHat Security, said in an email interview. Manufacturers, he added, “need to step up and educate the end-users about the impact these security issues have on [them] in layperson terms....

The media giant will likely launch its smaller scale Libra cryptocurrency project as soon as January. Libra was originally supposed to be a new currency backed by fiat money (a currency established as money by the government) and securities (tradable financial assets). Libra will now work as a stable coin, meaning it won’t fluctuate in value as it’s pegged to something like the US dollar or a basket of currencies....

Ireland’s data privacy regulator recently asked Facebook to prove that an LED indicator light on the social media giant’s newly launched smart glasses is “an effective means” to let people know they are being filmed or photographed. The glasses contain cameras that are intended to allow users to document their daily lives. “Just the thought of someone with these glasses in a public place gives me the creeps,” privacy expert Pankaj Srivastava told Lifewire in an email interview....

Swedish musical instrument design supremos Teenage Engineering is selling a record player that can both cut and play vinyl. Depending on how you look at it, the $150 PO-80 Record Factory is either a neat gimmick and perfect Christmas gift or a seriously cool tool for musicians. Either way, it also gives us an excuse to look at the weird world of vinyl recordings. “With the recent release of TE’s new PO-80 home vinyl cutter, people are wondering if records made at home can sound as good as commercially-pressed records....

While there are a handful of wildly popular search engines that do a great job at locating most images and web pages, they don’t always find what you’re after. The need to showcase niche search engines comes out of the fact that search engines don’t search the entire web. The ones listed below are very specific in that they focus on things like books, medical information, images, math, videos, etc....

What used to be limited to smartphones is now open to everyone with access to the internet, which means more possibilities for educators. Teachers can take entire classes on a virtual tour without having to physically bring everyone to a museum or gallery space. This almost sounds like an alternative to field trips, but it’s not really a substitute for a proper field trip. It’s more of a way to enhance the experience rather than replace it entirely....

iHeart Media announced recently that it’s investing in binaural audio, also known as 3D audio. The technology is intended to make listeners feel like they are in the same room as a recording. The advance of 3D audio could herald a revolution in podcasts, experts say. “In a typical podcast, it’s kind of just a person talking,” John Merchant, chair of the Department of Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University, said in a phone interview....

The Biden administration has allocated $1 billion in funding, which could help rural providers offer fiber broadband. The move could help the large number of Native Americans currently without high-speed internet access. “For generations, a lack of infrastructure investment in Indian Country has left Tribes further behind in the digital divide than most areas of the country,” Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, said at a news conference announcing the funding....

In the past two years, the push for consumer privacy has taken a significant turn, with companies like Apple paving the way by offering better, stronger options for consumers. Features like App Tracking Transparency, mail privacy, and the private relay system are all great examples of how Apple is working to make consumer privacy a heavy focus across all of its devices. This push, experts say, is significant because it forces other tech companies to follow suit or risk falling behind in consumer opinion....

Then dedicated accessory sockets showed up on the scene, and all of that went out the window. These 12V accessory sockets look like cigarette lighter sockets, but they aren’t, and the differences are important. Accessory Sockets Aren’t Cigarette Lighters After decades of cigarette lighter sockets playing double-duty as accessory sockets, it’s only natural to wonder what, if any, difference there is between these two components. While this might seem complex, it’s not....
