AI Thread Summary
When considering the use of two 250GB Maxtor FireWire drives with a Linux laptop, specifically running RedHat 7.1, it's important to verify compatibility and driver availability. Users have noted challenges in finding Linux drivers for Maxtor drives on the manufacturer's website. For those looking for solutions, the Linux1394 project website may provide relevant information and resources for FireWire support in Linux. Ensuring proper driver installation and configuration is crucial for successful integration of external drives with Linux systems.

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
