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


Recommended Posts

Angel

Same here. At first, I didn't like it, but then after getting used to it and watching it for a while, I really liked it a lot. I even bought the DVDs. However, as time went on, people started making fun of me for watching it. So I eventually felt ashamed, stopped watching it, and sold my DVDs on Ebay. Why can't people just leave me alone and let me watch what I want to watch? This is why i don't watch anymore TV shows.

Boston Legal

Buffy

Star Trek : TNG ( I musta been retarded on my first few viewings)

Seinfeld (watched one ep, and thought, whats the point of this show)

Charmed

Two shows I could never understand when I was young were: Yes Minister and Cheers.

Now those two shows I love - I'll happily watch repeats :D

The show I hate the most, and still do is Crossing Jordan. How on earth can a person, who does nothing the whole episode, get a show named after her?

The second show I hate then and still hate today is Seinfield. It was an ok show that was over rated and flogged to death.

The worst show is 30 Rock - a prime example of a crap show which is praised by 'critics' and yet, hardly anyone watches.

South Park. I could not stand it at first, I unno, something about a talking piece of poo turned me off. But now, suprisingly, I watch it every day lol.

+1. I find that too disturbing :laugh:

Heroes

Same here. I saw a few episodes of season 1 and thought it was pretty mediocre, and then the more I watched season 1, the more I was hooked.

I never bothered with the Shield before. I didn't think it looked bad, didn't think it looked good. I watched season 1 and God was I missing out all these years.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is another one. I thought only stoners would find it funny. Now not every episode is good, but it is't bad.

I still stand by late night adult swim being for stoners though. Except Shin Chan. Anyone can appreciate that shows awesomeness.

    • 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
