[Video] Me breaking my iBook (death via dropping)


Recommended Posts

I have the iSight webcam. I did these in a rush so it looks horrible. I recorded it in HD quality but then reduced it to that for youtube. It is built into my iMac. The lighting is also bad since i'm just using two desk lamps as I dont have time to get the lighting setup properly

Hey man it sucks to drop an iBook... I would hate to have done that myself... especially because I have a dell and there is hardly a chance that it'd survive the same drop.....

I'm happy for you doing so well with your lungs. I hope you continue doing well :)

Anyways, This is something that wont be coverd by applecare.. so after I get the courage to tell my paernts in the morning, I hopefully assume we will be heading to go get a Macbook. but I doubt it.

Are your parents made of money or something?

That's a good video, I'm glad you wasn't mad about me putting you on digg.com Most of the comments you got were hateful, but you got 182 diggs! :) I always thought it was an accident, not everyone swears when they drop stuff, I know when I dropped my iBook I was in total shock and just went omg omg omg and left it on the floor before I even examined the damage.

Dude, what's your problem? You are accusing him stole iBook, insulting someone else's house and parents of having no money? Not everyone as rich as you.. And he got an iMac with an iSight, so why would he steal the iBook and break it on purpose?

Just watched the video and the look on your face is priceless, Id react probably the same way, like disbelief and oh **** moments. Good to hear the ibook is fine though, and after the battery and whatnot the rest is cosmetic. And good luck with fixing the screen too, the way you explain it seems pretty logical and should work imo.

For some reason this has turned into some people being abusive for no reason but I really dont get the big deal. Its just a bummer thing that happens, you drop your laptop, and even more so it's recorded lol. Forget about the keyboard warriors.

I bet you stole that ibook and is breaking it just for fun. I doubt parents who live that that kind of home environment would by you one. And you seem to leave the room the hallway to see if your parents are not coming.

That was the most ****ed up thing I've read today.

1) I don't steal.

2) You cant see **** in that video, dude. That is the only brick wall and it's brick because there is a house connected to our right. You dont even see the left corner of the room, my room is huge! You dont see anything but this little area where I stand and drop it. You can't possibly ****ing judge my house or our finances by this video! How dare you?

3) It'd be sorta weird to be standing in front of a webcam talking and you're parents were to walk in, no?

    • 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
