To people who know their TV's


Recommended Posts

I'm getting a TV, just a quick one, don't really want one but g/f is calling for one

So just trying to get in something cheap quick but I want a big screen

Is there a BIG difference between these 2 and would you recommend one over the other? There is a difference of $100 to them

Thanks for any inputs - My main thing is to get one minimum 50" and as cheap as possible ;p

As others have said you really should go with the Samsung out of those two, really will require the full HD resolution at that screen size. Had you of been looking at smaller screens then I would have been tempted to say bite the bullet, get the LG and enjoy the spare $100.

Go with the Samsung.

Also, no need to get an LED/LCD since plasma is perfectly fine. It technically has better color quality, but will suck a bit more power than LED/LCD. LCD is brighter since it's backlit, but plasma will give you better defined blacks, so it really depends on the environment where it will be. If it will be in a sunny area and you'd like a brighter screen, go LCD. If the area is darker and you'd like better colors, get plasma. Also, LCD and plasma will have basically the same lifespan. They both get darker with age, but we're talking about a decade or so for that to get bad. By then, I'm sure you will have moved on to something better. Also, if you want to hang it on the wall, then get LED/LCD since as you can see by the weight of the plasma TV, it's a beast.

    • 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
