what does 32-Bit (A/D Conversion) mean on the ...
what does 32-Bit (A/D Conversion) mean on the spec list, does it mean If I want to record 32-bit, I will need to connect it to computer?
The 32-bit specification refers to the amount of audio information the Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder is capable of capturing while recording in reference to bit depth. 32-bit recording captures more information mainly due to its floating-point format versus traditional fixed-point bit depths of 16 and 24 bit. This, in essence, allows for a much wider dynamic range to be captured and makes it hard to record clipped or distorted signals. Sound Devices publishes a useful article on their site that explains this in depth and can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SGcsE5

if I want to use a Shure SM7B with this recorder, do I need to use a cloud lifter with it?
No you don't. The amps in all Sound Devices mixer/recorders from the MixPre to the 8 series will run an SMB7 directly without issue. No need for a Cloud Lifter.

What does it mean when all of the channel LED rings are flashing yellow, and it won't allow me to record?
Regarding the Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder, when all of the channel LED rings are flashing yellow and won't allow you to record, that means your sync reference is set to "external", but there is no external source. You would just need to set your sync reference to "internal".

Does the 32-bit on the 833 have the same 142db DR as the 32-bit-float of the Mix Pre's?
For the 833:
32-bit, 120 dB, A-weighted dynamic range typical
For the MixPre-Series II:
32 bit precision; 142 dB dynamic range min (A weighted, gain = 10 dB, fader = 0 dB)

Can the SSD and the SD cards be set individually to record at different rates simultaneously?
The Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder allows customized track routing and simultaneous recording to internal SSD and two SD cards, but it appears that all files must use the same sample rate and bit depth settings regardless of destination.
