What is your favorite MUST HAVE snack?


Recommended Posts

For me, I've got a bad diet so it's a selection of the following:

Texas BBQ pringles (whole tub usually in one sitting)

Smoky Bacon walkers crisp sandwiches (omg I have to have one of these tonight!)

Butterist toffee popcorn

or if I'm feeling a little healthier: bavarian smoked cheese, crumbed or breaded ham in tiger bread with a tiny bit of chilli mayo. drool.

sun chips, dry roasted peanuts, cashews, white grapes and cashews or granny smith with PB or and can't forget Gold N' Krispy kettle cooked chips! that's about it.

Nice thread :)

Let's see... pistachios are great. So are salted black pepper peanuts. Other snacks include sour cream and onion corn snacks (it's a similar texture as Cheetos but larger), almost all chip flavours, seaweed slices, wasabi peas...

and of course, super buttered movie-style popcorn. Stuff is horribly bad for you but what the heck. Kinda tempted to buy some of those healthier variants of margarine and use that stuff to pour onto microwaved popcorn :D

Sweet snacks aren't really my thing. But from the list above, salty snacks? Definitely.

During our state fair, there is so much deep-fried crap they offer. They'd probably deep fry your arm if you asked, haha.

In this yearly exhibition thing that goes on for two-three weeks at the end of summer, the vendors there have taken to deep frying Mars bars and butter balls. Yes, butter balls. Another novelty was making a burger out of Krispy Kremes.

Had one of the butter balls. Very fluffy and buttery to start with, then the amount of oil attacks your stomach after a while :p As for the Krispy Kreme burger... oil and sugar don't mix well. It's a taste I fail to describe properly up to this day... it just doesn't make sense!

Honey crisp Apples.

Junkfood wise, and I have this about once a year, I like to take Doritos and put seasoned meat, nacho cheese, and sour cream on top. Wait, that's a meal...

    • 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
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
    • >Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. The story behind that bug would be an interesting one.
