AI Thread Summary
To delete individual files from a CD that is marked as read-only, the disc must be written in multisession mode. If the CD is a rewritable (RW) type, it can be erased and rewritten, but this process will remove all files unless it was initially formatted in multisession mode. To access multisession mode, users need to use CD writing software that supports this feature during the initial writing process. Once a session is closed without multisession enabled, individual file deletion is not possible.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. 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...
