In OpenOffice Calc, is it possible to write a formula in one cell (e.g. A1), whose input establishes content display in another (e.g. B2)

9 March 2026 @ 7:44 am

I am preparing a prototype using OpenOffice, that needs to display (using cartesian co-ordinates) the conformation of a series of blocks. I have the co-ordinates in a simple list, I just want to display them as corresponding blocks/characters in another part of the screen. (I've set up part of the screen with rows and columns of width/height 0.5cm, so they are regular squares). I've tried Conditional_Formatting and reversing the functionality of COLUMN/ROW, but nothing seems to work (Err502 etc.) which is frustrating. A seemingly simple matter, but I can't locate the functionality anywhere...any ideas anyone? Many thanks. D.

Can I skip restoring my previous session if Microsoft Edge crashes on startup?

8 March 2026 @ 8:11 pm

While using Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, I opened a website that caused the browser to crash. When I went to re-open Edge, it tried to reload my previous session and immediately crashed again. (I can tell Edge is reloading my session because two windows open when I launch it rather than just the usual one). I've tried restarting my PC, but it still crashes. I've seen people say that deleting the user data folder can solve crashes, but before I do that, I'd like to try loading the default homepage and seeing if that fixes the issue. How do I make Microsoft Edge load my homepage instead of trying to restore the previous session when it crashes on startup?

How to reset video timestamp in trimmed video using ffmpeg

8 March 2026 @ 1:30 pm

I want to display the relative timestamp (and also the absolute) as a burnt-in overlay text in a cut/trimmed video processed by ffmpeg. The current command is: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 30 -t 10 -vf "scale=-2:720,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,drawtext=text='%{pts\:hms}':fontsize=32" output.mp4 I expected setpts=PTS-STARTPTS to reset the pts timestamp in a way that the overlay text would start at 0 and finish at 10 seconds, but it did not affect the output. In the end I'd like to display both the relative timestamp (starting at 0 sec) and the absolute (starting at 30 sec in this example). How can the desired output be achieved?

How do I troubleshoot an LSI HBA card that is not recognized as a controller `storcli`?

24 July 2021 @ 1:18 am

I am trying to set up a Supermicro CSE-826 chassis, but with an ASRock J4005B-ITX board and an LSI SAS 9207-4i4e card instead of an officially Supermicro-supported system. The backplane in the system is a Supermicro BPN-SAS3-826EL1 (just in case that matters for the following - it probably doesn't...). I currently have 4 SAS HDDs installed in the chassis. My problem is the following: I simply want to get the card to work as a HBA in JBOD mode, using Ubuntu 20.04 server (headless). I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 to a separate SATA SSD directly connected to the motherboard (i.e. I'm not booting off the SAS array). I installed storcli (assuming that's the right tool for setting up the HBA, please correct me if I'm already off track here) and my goal is to set it to JBOD mode so I can just manually manage the attached disks. Running lsblk currently does not show me any of the four HDDs installed on the backplane: $ lsblk NAME

Telnet not working on Windows 10 after installing it

12 September 2020 @ 4:58 am

I have a Windows 10 laptop (it's pretty old, but I don't think that should be a problem). I followed the instructions and went through the control panel and enabled Telnet Client using an admin password. However, when I launched CMD and typed telnet, I received the error message "telnet could not be recognized as an internal or external command..." I also tried this with an admin-powered CMD and got the same error. After a bit more searching, I found a command that should enable telnet. I typed in "dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient" and it said something like installation complete. However, even after typing telnet into CMD, I got the same error message. Edit: I located telnet.exe in the System32 folder, and if I run it from file explorer directly, it works fine. However, when I type in the path in CMD, I am getting the same error message. And if I type "start path/telnet.exe" I also get the same error message.

How I Get Free Traffic from ChatGPT in 2025 (AIO vs SEO)

4 December 2025 @ 5:37 am

Three weeks ago, I tested something that completely changed how I think about organic traffic. I opened ChatGPT and asked a simple question: "What's the best course on building SaaS with WordPress?" The answer that appeared stopped me cold. My course showed up as the first result, recommended directly by the AI with specific reasons why it was valuable.I hadn't paid for advertising. I hadn't done any special promotion. The AI simply decided my content was the best answer to that question and served it to the user. This wasn't luck or a fluke. When I tested the same query in Perplexity, the same thing happened. My website ranked at the top of AI-generated responses, pulling in free traffic directly from AI models that millions of people now use as their primary search tool. This represents a fundamental shift in how people discover content online. For years, we've optimized for Google's algorithm, carefully crafting meta
