Got bored, Come watch OS X own all :D


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i got bored as hell so I decided to open 1000 TextEdit windows and see how the system ran after.

Performance was identical in every way, just a few more Read Write IOs than normal.

To make matters more awesome I was even filming it fullscreen with "IShowYou" and we all know how much power that sucks away.

If you wana watch the video head over to: http://blip.tv/file/896833/

Nice..now take a screenshot and make that your desktop background, that'll confuse the hell outta anyone. :laugh:

I tried to perform the same thing with xfce but xfce-panel (the thing a bit like the taskbar in windows) ended up being a bottleneck and crippled when it got to over 200 windows. The composited window manager could handle it fine, though. If I close xfce-panel I could probably get 1000 but I can't be bothered.

By the way I used this bash script to perform what you did in a few seconds:

for ((i=0;i<=1000;i+=1)); do mousepad & done

edit: I just realised that actually opens 1001 :o

Prove. Please open 1000 notepads and post a shot. :D

done.

i thik you needa good pc to do it. i have 4GBs of ram and a core 2 quad.

i got to like 300 and a ballon came up saying about poor performance at the time i was using like 3.2GBs of ram this dropped to about 2.8GBs

then when i got to 350 and it said aero was using too much ram and turned it off then ram usage dropped again from 3.2GBs to about 1.9GBs.

from there on i just had to open loads more upto 1000 it seemed it was aero taking most of the ram to run the windows rather than notepad itself.

ended on about 3GBs as from the pic

Gave it a shot. My poor little 1.8ghz Core Duo almost choked on me when doing an expose. :p

Ram usage--acceptable. (for 1000 TextEdits at least)

CPU usage only shot up when doing the Expose of course. Rest of the OS usable--I only have 2GB in the Macbook anyway.

Whoever can open 1000 PSDs with a bajillion layers and lots of those layers being smart filters and still have a useable system afterwards will win the intarwebs.

BAJILLION! BAJILLION?????

The most i've ever had is 25 layers :( lmao

    • 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
