Based on: http://cristi.100free.com/e-mail.htm [source for this link: emailaddresses.com forum post]

1. Go to http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/.

2. Click on the blue button

3. Enter your desired username and press the button at the bottom. If the username is already taken, you will see text in red at the top. Keep trying until you come up w/ one that's not already taken.

4. Follow the pic

A: Check the available options here.

B: Enter any zip code from this page.

Click the button at the bottom.

5. You should be taken to a page having two buttons to choose from. Click the right one (that has 1000M on it). [in my case, I got a page where I had to enter my chosen password twice and the image verification code again, am guessing it was so since I haven't clicked on the button in the earlier step for a long time as I was taking screenshot and adding text on the pic]

6. Log in to yahoo messenger using your newly created yahoo id and add one of your friends who's currently online to your friends list. Make sure he/she adds you as well and exchange a message or two.

7. http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/event/mail_1g/1gb_06.htm should have popped up already. If not, go there. Click on the bottom yellow button that has 1G on it. You should see:

If you don't get the page w/ the above pic and are using Opera, switch to IE to continue (only till the end of this tutorial). I haven't tested in Firefox.

8. You now have a 1 GB yahoo inbox, but it's in chinese. To set the language to english:

a. Log in to your account at http://mail.yahoo.com. Click on Options (It's to the right below your account name)

b. Click on the last link at the left to edit your profile. Enter your password to continue.

c. Click on the first of two 'Edit' buttons.

d. Click on the link at the bottom (see the screenshot below):

toEnglish.jpg

e. Choose the 1st one in the drop down menu. Press the first button.

f. Press 'I Accept'. Click 'Finished'.

g. Log out and log back in.

9. For POP3 access:

a. Click 'Mail Options' at the top right.

b. Under 'Management', click on 'POP Access and Forwarding'.

c. Review the options, click on 'POP Settings' and press 'Save'.

Now you should be able to use your mail client and access this account. (I tried in MS outlook 2003, was about to send messages fine, but not retrieve. I am not sure if this is the case w/ just me or everyone else.)

:)

Hrmm, I just want a 1GB mail account with POP3 access damnit!!  :angry:

Did you try checking if POP3 is working w/ your Yahoo! .cn account (assuming you signed up)?

BTW, you have http://spymac.com offering 1 GB account w/ POP3.

    • 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
