Riiight. Guess I deserve to die in a car crash since I drive.

Has anyone in this topic said he deserved to die? No. Has anyone said gun owners deserve to be shot? No.

The car argument makes about as much sense as "I go swimming, so I guess I deserve to drown."

That's sad for him but I guess if you live by the gun you shouldn't be surprised to die by the gun.

So yea, my post was relevant.

So the main guy with the Russian accent is dead? or Just one of the behind the scene guys?

Either way, seems pretty fishy, im guessing he knew the killers, if its was a normal robbery or random im sure he had enough fire power to hold off a small army.

"For one?" What else you got?

And it is, as a matter of fact, the same damn thing. Blaming an intimate object for the actions

a person uses it for is ignorant. But if you want to blame an object for what it COULD be

used for, how about knives? They were designed to cut and stab. The fact that they're also

used to do it to dead meat should be irrelevant by your logic- their PURPOSE is put to use

killing people, thus we should register every single one and limit how many a person can

own... maybe even take them away completely.

same ol' argument.. would you be ok with people packing anthrax around? mustard gas? portable nukes in briefcases to work? they are inanimate so it should be safe right?

Of course not... but that's not the point we're talking about.

I don't want to get shot by anyone, or stabbed, or clubbed like a baby seal. But my desire to

stay alive has absolutely no effect on whether or not someone would do these things to me.

Your examples, by the way, kill people indiscriminately. That is to say, you have no control over them

once the trigger is pulled, unlike a gun, knife, or frying pan.

AKA "I'll choose which examples I like and the ones I don't can't be used." Typical.

i don't know why you guys keep sayin silly crap like that. isn't even remotely the same thing.

cars werent designed to kill for one.

No bro, guns were invented for turning over the TV, or to help carve the Turkey on Christmas day. Everyone knows that.

If you want to ban guns, then oxygen should be banned too, because you can start fire in oxygen and fire kills!!

I bet it's your location which messes up your thinking. 127.0.0.1?? Gimme a break!

Fires have purposes other than death. It's awesome tool for cooking or controlling ecosystems.

Guns only exist to kill. No other purpose exist for guns.

    • finally [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience.
    • Let me get this straight... It was a web interface for Gmail, so if privacy at Google wasn't concerning enough you'd be going through two companies. And their big feature was the very thing that would make people consider dumping Gmail.
    • 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
