Call of Duty 4, Neowin Style!


Recommended Posts

Yep, I have until 8, then have to go food shopping. :|

I have to stop to cook and have dinner...then may be back on if "allowed", without getting too much grief. :blink:

Thought you said you had ALOT of work to do? Get to it!!! :laugh:

Also going to pick up a new headset at lunch time. I think mine died last night in that last round. Dont want to chance not being able to communicate.

Not to derail the topic, but anyone have an opinion on the Turtle Beach headsets? Other then the price...

As just posted in the BF:BC thread (damn this is getting hard work now to keep tabs on things :p) I have been invited to offer support for a friend who has a gig tonight, so I wont be around until 1am ish (GMT) which is 9pm and 7pm respectively for our US friends :p

Look forward to seeing you online then.

Did you mean 8pm for East Coast and 5pm for West Coast?

East Coast is 5 hours behind and West Coast is 8!

Since I know Dirty and a couple of others have said they would be available tonight, I think I will be back home from The Dark Night by around 9pm (central time) or so for those in the US that will be around.

I'll be around as well (EST), and I sent you a Friend Request as you mentioned a few pages back. Gamertag same as here.

I forgot I said 10 PM British time, which is 11 PM for me - So I was expecting to start at 10 PM all along :laugh: God I'm such a tool.

Nah you ain't a tool , easy mistake to make (Y)

Can I remind everyone to make sure their NAT is open as COD4 used to have issues where if someone's NAT wasn't open then they couldn't get in the game that the whole Lobby connected to and thus kicked back to Lobby!(EG - 5 people got in the game, 1 person didn't!) Not sure if they have fixed it though :s

Also, check your NAT status before you begin - The game is really picky about NAT statuses and would love to have a trouble free evening.

Okay then, going to check my NAT now in preperation for when I sign on to play in 30 minutes give or take a few minutes.

Great!

I'll be sending out invites in a few minutes, so everyone who's joining us from the start should get online now.

Then we'll send out invites between the rounds for everyone joining in late.

I still don't know how many we are going to be, so private server or not, I don't know.

    • 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
