I started using objectdock because it keeps the desktop tidy looking, but I keep using it mostly because of sysstats. I did have 6 seperate widget programs running and it was killing my pc. Objectdock and sysstats does it all for a fraction of the memory. Even my old 1ghz celeron doesn't slow down with it. I still enjoy bashing Stardock, but I have to give em credit(card) when it comes to OD+.

My desktop has one icon on it. The recyccle bin. It also as rainlendar on it, and samurize, but that's it. I personally only ever use it as a temp folder. I stick exe's there for virus scanning, wallpapers and VS zips befoer I stick them in the themes or wallapers folder in My Documents or windows\resources.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking those who whose them, I've just never seen the practicality.

im gonna start an anti-dock league, windows seems to work fine without em for me

:p

My friends make fun of me, because even though I have 1.5GB of RAM, i never install anything like this because it uses Memory.  :)

Memory is precious.....

I agree with you. What is the point of this dock?

lets do it

let's form an anti-dock league

pm me :woot:

I personally don't run a dock. Not because of mem usage, I just don't prefer to use one. However I do download them and try them out, I'm just curious.

But having 1.5Gb of memory and choosing to not run a program because of mem usage is just pure insanity. It's not like the program is going to keep the memory, it's just borrowing it.

Think of your computer as a tool, use your computer man. Don't let the computer use you.

I have a tip for you.Format and install MS-Dos.You will save much memory. :devil:

This is crazy! USE you computer.Don't think like that.Right now i have 227MB of 512MB and I run many many things.But that is memory for,use it. :rofl:

Now why to use a dock.I will not tell you why or why not.Just try it for a month and if you don't like it just...unistall it.Is not a drug to stick with it. :devil:

You have absolutely right. ;)

PS.I hope that you understand what i say because my English are bad.

Being afraid of useing memory or cpu cycles on eyecandy is just so lame. Even if you are a hard line gamer, you can easly turn windowblinds ,and docks and things off while playing. As for yzdock it only uses resorses when you use it. Even a simple window uses resorses when it is moved around. open your taskmanager ,drag it around and watch the cpu usage clmb. This wine about cpu usage is a concern from when xp first came out and was installed on 500 mhz 128 mb machines, back then it was a concern, with todays machines on average 2ighz up to 4ghz, with at least 512 memory, I can't see the concern. If you must have all resorses for gameing then simply setup another account for gameing and see that nothing starts up n that account. Or follow the black viper's guide on setting up resorse profiles for gameing or regular computing. You can get a gaming profile with next to nothing running then reboot to your regular pc profile. Any way I use YZ dock, windowblinds and cursor xp , I have only 25 running processes, and lots of free memory, and cpu cycles.

    • 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
