The way I see it, why the f*** did he kick her car in the first place? They both are idiots as far as I am concerned!

Because she's crowding him. He deserves a little space. And she probably yelled something at him. Anyway, there is a big difference between a relatively harmless kick and attempted murder (assault with a deadly weapon).

Bit I have to take up "He deserves a little space"... No - legally he should wait in the queue like the other drivers.

That is true, if that is the case. I can't really tell from the video. It almost looks like he was there first, and she's trying to pass him on the right and run him to the middle, but it could also be that he's skipping ahead.

I think the woman is a psycho. She was crowding him, and him kicking her car was not a wise move. Bit I have to take up "He deserves a little space"... No - legally he should wait in the queue like the other drivers.

I think in most of these countries it's legal to split traffic at a safe speed (10 or 15 mph or something like that). However he clearly provoked her by kicking her car (probably in response to something she yelled), I would of just flipped her the bird and kept going. Although I wouldn't be supervised if only flipping her off also evoked a similar response from the crazed b///h. Hopefully she was charged with attempted man slaughter or something like that, and hopefully the biker also was charged with something as appropriate (property damage?).

Either way this shows the contempt that some (most?) 4 wheel vehicle divers have over motorcycle riders.

From https://en.wikipedia.../Lane_splitting

If someone pulled that crap then kicked my car I'd run his ass down too, it is explicitly illegal where I live and I won't tolerate someone throwing a temper-tantrum if I tell them off for it.

edit: Evidently this site doesn't like bullet points :/

Why do people think its ok to crowd motorcycles? If your not paying attention and jump forward that guy and his bike can be done. When you come up on a bike stay a half a cars length back. Ive gotten upset with drivers several time for almost touching my tire, wtf stay back im not protected buy a steel cage. Do it out of courtesy, people on bikes know the dangers drivers pose and we like living just as much as drivers.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
