GIS
The acronym GIS stands for this.
What is Geographic Information System?
What three-legged piece of equipment is used to hold and stabilize a camera?
What is a Tripod?
This Harvard drop-out made his fortune by starting a tiny software company selling an operating system for IBM-compatible computers.
Bill Gates
This small battery-powered chip on a motherboard stores BIOS settings, including date and time, even when the computer is powered off.
CMOS Battery
In IPv4 addressing, an address is divided into four of these 8-bit segments, each ranging from 0 to 255, to create a 32-bit address.
IP Octet
This software is the industry standard for GIS and is developed by ESRI.
What is ArcGIS?
What proprietary file type is used on iPhones for pictures?
What is HEIC?
This visionary pioneer attempted to make computing devices accessible and useful to everyone and did a good job of it.
Steve Jobs
A power supply with this certification meets strict efficiency standards, ensuring at least 80% energy conversion while reducing wasted heat and power consumption.
80+ Certification
This device operates similarly to a switch but only supports half-duplex communication, causing network collisions when multiple devices attempt to transmit data simultaneously.
Hub
This type of file, often used in ESRI software, contains geographic features and their attributes.
What is a shapefile?
What is the name of Blackmagic's video editing software?
What is Da Vinci Resolve?
This British war hero formalized the logical and mathematical foundations of general-purpose computing, using a theoretical machine named for him.
Alan Turing
This type of RAM is used in servers and mission-critical systems because it can detect and correct single-bit memory errors, improving reliability.
ECC RAM
This protocol, often paired with TCP, is a connectionless alternative that sacrifices reliability for speed, making it ideal for real-time applications like VoIP and online gaming.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
This ESRI app combines GIS with the power of storytelling.
What is Story Maps
Which photography technique leads the viewer's eye along a linear path?
What is Leading Lines?
This CERN researcher invented the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, giving birth to the World Wide Web.
Tim Berners-Lee
Introduced by IBM, this legacy 6-pin connector was commonly used for keyboards and mice before being largely replaced by USB.
PS/2 Socket
n the OSI model, this layer is responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating connections between applications, ensuring data is properly synchronized and ordered.
Session Layer
This scripting language is commonly used in ArcGIS for automation and geoprocessing.
What is Python?
What does DSLR stand for?
What is Digital Single-Lens Reflex?
This amazing US Navy admiral pioneered high-level programming languages and popularized the term "bug" for a software defect after her team found an actual moth stuck in the computer they were working on.
Grace Hopper, A.K.A. Amazing Grace
Unlike LGA sockets, which have pins on the motherboard, this socket type features an array of pins on the CPU itself, commonly used in AMD processors like those in the AM4 and AM5 families.
Pin Grid Array (PGA) socket
This network topology connects all devices to a single central cable, making it simple to implement but vulnerable to a single point of failure if the main cable is damaged.
Bus Topology
