The Neowin Digital Photo Gallery


Recommended Posts

Wow, nice camera for a first one huh? Jeeze my first one was a Jamcam. It was roughly 0.7mp... not even 1megapixel! Then I upgraded to 3.2, now currently at 5.1.

Happy photography learning, it's fun.

Cheers m8, I not even sussed out the functions of the camera yet, so think there going to be lots of trial and error, but hopefully will get sum gud shots!

Will post back here :)

I really want an SLR, I was leaning towards the D70 over the EOS 300, but now Canon are going to bring out the EOS 350, Im leaning towards Canon, Do you think the D70 replacent may come out soon?

It's safe to go for the 350D. I owned a 300D. I switched to the 20D when things became more serious. Before canon i always had nikon cams. At this time i like Canon more. The D70 is a nice and popular camera, but the 350D is a just better. A big letdown for me was the ISO 100 missing on the D70. I wouldn't wait for a replacement unless you already have Nikon lenses and other nikon stuff. The 350 has all you would wish for in a DSLR. Nikon has problems following the high end lines of Canon so i don't expect them to release a D70 replacement soon.

Finally upgraded to a new digital camera, bought the one I'd been lusting after to boot, the Casio Exilim EX-Z50. :wub:

So much better having a nice 5.0mp camera, makes my old 2.3mp Kodak seem like a pile of crap. ( Which it indeed was. )

Either way, just figured I'd post at least one shot from it for the time being, gonna be a bit before I get around to anything "artistic," so here's a cat. :D

I think it would look great in black and white, possibly lightening the water and darkening the subject matter (friend's dad).

edit: Hope you don't mind, as I was bored and it looked like a neat little project to pass some time.

    • 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
