The hard drive is sometimes referred to as the “C drive” because Microsoft Windows, by default, designates the “C” drive letter to the primary partition on the primary hard drive in a computer. While this isn’t a technically correct term to use, it is still prevalent. For example, some computers have multiple drive letters (e.g., C, D, and E) representing areas across one or more hard drives. The hard disk drive also goes by the name HDD (its abbreviation), hard drive, hard disk, magnetic hard drive, mechanical hard drive, fixed drive, fixed disk, and fixed disk drive....

Light doesn’t fill up a room like smoke. Instead, light assumes a position.

They show us what we can’t see on our own. What Is a Light Meter? To put it plainly, a light meter reads the strength of light....

OLED Makes Roll-Up TVs Possible The underlying technology used in a roll-up TV is OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). OLED uses an organic structure to form pixels that create images, without the need for extra backlighting. This makes OLED TVs different than QLED TVs or LED/LCD TVs.

Salami Attacks Explained In a salami attack, attackers make small, incremental changes to a system to steal small amounts of money or resources. The changes are often so small that they go unnoticed, but they add up to a significant amount when totaled. This attack gets its name because it is similar to slicing a salami thinly, with each slice small adding to a larger whole. The first mention of a salami attack was in the 1940s, when a group of programmers from the Soviet Union stole funds from the government, manipulating transactions and raking home lots of cash....

Sometimes previously referred to as paranoid schizophrenia, diagnosing the condition can be challenging. There isn’t a schizophrenia test that can be used for a definitive diagnosis. Also, several other mental illnesses can present with symptoms similar to schizophrenia, and other factors (such as methamphetamine or LSD drug use) may cause schizophrenic-like symptoms. Another obstacle to overcome in the diagnostic process is that many people with schizophrenia can’t recognize that their symptoms are due to a mental illness....

For a conventional podcast, you need at a minimum a microphone, headphones, a computer, recording and mixing software, and internet access. Basic Microphones To get your voice into your computer for recording, you need a microphone. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on one if you aren’t concerned with high quality.

Six years in gestation, John Paul’s long-promised and much-revised encyclical paints a Cassandra-like picture of a church racked by conflict over sexual morality. “Numerous doubts and objections,” he writes, threaten the unity of Catholic morality and have produced a “genuine crisis” in the church. It is “no longer a matter of limited and occasional dissent,” the pope warns, “but of an overall and systematic calling into question of traditional moral doctrine....

But what justice looks like varies by city, by incident, and according to the community’s history with police. Protesters in major cities across the country told Newsweek protests will continue for the foreseeable future with the outcome tied to what reforms and serious efforts are made to combat police brutality. Organizers acknowledged, however, they cannot last forever, and activism will continue even once fierce protests die down....

Spencer Rattler, once considered the Heisman front runner and a potential top-five pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has seen a stark reversal of fortune in 2021 — a year in which he has garnered more attention for his on-field setbacks than his playmaking ability. MORE: Lincoln Riley should start Caleb Williams, but keeping Spencer Rattler engaged is key for Oklahoma That was most evident in his benching for true freshman Caleb Williams in the Red River Showdown: He struggled mightily in the first half, committing two turnovers, as Texas jumped to a 28-7 first-quarter lead....

Here it is: I finally watched “Avengers: Endgame” and had one major takeaway: The Mets were contracted. Yes, in the concluding chapter to a massive saga about good vs. evil, the value of teamwork and friendship, and the complexities and ethics of being a hero, the thing that stuck out most to me was that MLB had downsized. This is one side effect of viewing so much of life through a baseball lens....
