What is your opinion on Skrillex?


Recommended Posts

i think hes terrible and isnt a true dj but thats my opinion.

He isn't a DJ... He's a producer. I get what you're saying as he can be replaced by a laptop live, but his merit is in the sounds he creates beforehand. Having said that, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but his dumb/loud/dance your ass off dubstep is fine with me, I liked both Bangarang and the Ghosts Monsters EP. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the genre as it's really oversaturated and there's a lot of crap, but hey, at least they're trying something new, I guess that's the point of music, isn't it?

P.S. His new track with Damian Marley is killer.

What makes a true dj Circaflex? Surely the majority of the work electronic dance music producers and dj's do is in the studio.

maybe i used the wrong term but the fact that all he does is hit play on his macbook for his concerts is lame, like another poster said you could just have a laptop there and it would be the same thing as him in the room, no talent in my opinion.

All this dude does is dance up and down, mess with the EQs and hit spacebar.

*press play*

*light cigarette*

*make sure EQs aren't accidentally turned down*

*move hair out of glasses*

*talk to hipster friends*

*check EQs again*

*make hand movements to the crowd*

*triple check EQ knobs*

*adjust alcoholic beverage*

*dance with hipster friends*

*move hair out of face*

*more hand movements*

*yell in mic*

*drink, smoke*

*repeat above steps 3 times*

*RANDOMLY TRANSITION TO A TRACK THAT IS ALREADY HALF WAY PLAYED WITH NO MIXING WHATSOEVER*

*randomly cut power, music stops*

*CROW GOES INSANE!!!!!*

THIS IS THE GREATNESS THAT IS SKRILLEX

who seriously cancels a show because their pc goes down LOL

how many of you skrillex fans know his background? know he wasnt always into dubstep and was part of from first to last?

Didn't he loose his voice or something due to screaming that's why he wen't into dubstep and yes I know he was in first to last but a lot of people I know who like Skrillex aren't aware...

I knew him as Sonny Moore from back in the day... Not something I'd call a good band, FFTL.

Btw, I just realized I'm seeing him live in September as he's playing alongside The Prodigy. Should be fun.

    • 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
