I've found this question, but the answer given there is outdated since google seems to have abandoned the extension mentioned in it (the extension looks like an old version of google docs, misses most of the crucial functionality, the sheets aren't even able to process simple "if" formula).



I couldn't comment on that since I'm new here, so I created this question to bring the problem back to the attention of the community.

  • The other question, and that add-on, are basically about opening MS Office files in the Google office suite, which is off-topic here. If that's really what you want to get answered, the best place for the question is probably the Software Recs site, because you're looking for a better add-on (and software recommendations are also off-topic on this site). The only solution for this question or the other is really an add-on. However, the other question escaped closure by clever wording to frame it as a problem to be solved through browser settings.

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

Image
1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range.

Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
