I'm pretty new to photography, let me know what you think of my skills (or lack thereof), and how I can improve.

Any and all criticisms are welcomed!

Most of them have post-processing (brightness & exposure)

Some pictures I took while climbing a mountin here in Vancouver called Golden Ears.

All of these pictures have not been edited in photoshop, and are pretty much raw.

The first picture is taken from the peak, standing at ~6,500 above sea level.

3/4 the way up. ~4,500 feet above sea level

Coming through the clouds, it was really creepy, and very very quiet...

Grouse are areguably the dumbest birds that manage to fly, making them the most trusting ones. You can actually grab these birds right off of the ground and throw them. (Don't worry it doesnt hurt them, they just start flying, and eventually come back and stand in the same spot where you can again, grab then and throw them).

Most point-and-shoot cameras have its own macro mode.

Just browse through your camera menu and you'll find macro mode icon.

For example, macro mode icon on my Cybershot T3 is a magnifier icon.

I'm about to turn in for the night--here's something that sorta goes along with it.

Taken of an (total lunar?) eclipse back in October of last year. I was right smack-dab in the city, during this one cloudy night. A few times the moon peeked out from the clouds and I grabbed a couple shots of it at 135mm. (this multiplies on my cam by about 1.6, so it's really at 216mm)

Pics are from my Motorola v300 phone.

An ABC store (told you they're everywhere)

This was taken at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach on 4/23/05. It's a photo of a Black Sea Nettle (Chrysaora achylos). I wish I had a better lens, so I could have used a lower stop instead of having to use ISO1600 which gives grain.

I have other photos that I will put up later.

Camera: Canon Digital Rebel XT

Lens: EF-S 18mm-55mm

Aperture: F/4

Shutter Speed: 1/30 sec

    • 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
