What shows did you initially hate and then warm up to?


Recommended Posts

I have so many! :laugh:

I hated King of the Hill when I first saw it and avoided it like the plague, and I eventually ended up really enjoying the show.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Now I thought who the hell would watch this show about a meat ball and a fryman unless they are constantly stoned out of their minds. I now love that show! especially meatwad hehe. A little bit of the same thing with Robot Chicken.

What about you guys?

haha me too.. once I saw megan fox on it I was sold. :laugh:

Megan Fox is on there? Must watch...:D

Law and Order (especially SVU). I initially thought those kinds of shows were for older people and wouldn't interest me, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I know love SVU and can't wait for the new episodes.

I originally didn't watch Family Guy at all. I can't remember wither i didn't like it or i just didn't watch, but i didn't quite get into it until about '05 when i seen a few episodes. Now i love it so much I've went back and seen every episode and man it was fun going through all of them. Great Series.

Scrubs and The Daily Show. oddly i was in love with Colbert the first time i saw him :p

i never actually saw an entire episode of scrubs or TDS, only bits and pieces where they act really wierd and stupid so i was put off. but my friend forced me to sit down and watch a couple of episodes (of both series) and now i'm addicted

especially Scrubs, it's an absolutely amazing show

Hannah Montana

Suite Life of Zack & Cody

Sponge Bob Square Pants

Josh & Drake

I'm way too old to be watching any kids show. But my cousin is always watching them when I'm on the computer. I can't avoid them so overtime, I just learn to enjoy them for what they are.

Superficial commercialised garbage?

Dare i say it but Lost. Never watched the first three seasons at all. Then got some DVDs from friend and over about 6 weeks went through all of it from scratch and got myself hooked. Midway through season 4 finally got around to watching it on TV properly.

Heroes ? I didn?t really like the sound of a show about people who had super powers, however a friend lent me the DVD box set and told me watch a few episodes and you will be hooked. After watching the first 2 episodes I was indeed hoo:Dd :D

Top Gear ? It didn?t used to appeal to me thinking the show was about some guys talking about cars for an hour, but after watching the episode where they turn cars in to boats and the American special at a friend?s one evening I realised just how funny it is even when they were reviewing cars.

    • 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
