[INS] Insomniacs Clan - Killzone 2 Matches Taking Place Now!


Recommended Posts

There is usually members online each night playing Call of Duty World at War, if it interests any of you.

Otherwise I will be putting together another schedule for us to play and hopefully including some of the new games coming out.

Ok I just wanted to bring this topic back to life and let members know that the clan is not over with, not by a long shot :)

I've been busy with quite a lot of stuff, but I've been in talks with Sethos and we have some new ideas in the works and I have a few others I may try to introduce. This Tuesday coming will be the end of my exams, so I plan to post the changes later in the day.

I really want this clan to work and stick for Neowin and will definitely not see it fail so easily :p

anyone have their waw game save just disappear? I beat the game on hardened then the next day i loaded on waw and it was gone and i needed to start from the 1st level. The game save is on the hard drive since i can browse to it in system settings but i cant load it. Very very frustrating especially when they didn't have zombie mode unlocked for everyone. I wasn't about to sit through that game again.

Ok, this is just a brief update to the changes until I have more time to update the original post..

First big change we are making is the introduction of PS3 games (Y) We are taking the clan to the PS3 for the launch of KillZone 2 in Febuary. Without a doubt it's going to be a huge title and the game supports clans, its only natural with some of the members of INS being PS3 owners we would do this. As for other games on the PS3, it will really depend on the popularity of them vs the 360 counter parts when it comes to multi-platform titles. I know for myself I'll still be buying the 360 when given the choice, others might be different. Hopefully we have enough members on both sides who can carry the clan when myself or Sethos aren't there (Y)

Next big change, we are doing away with the schedule. It is far too much trouble to fit in the games people like and then on specific days. There wasn't much feedback given in regards to the first schedule to change/update it to people's liking. We have managed fine so far to play as a clan without regular updates, and with the invite system on the 360, its much quicker and easier to arrange games.

We still want members to play regularly, but we are doing away with the strictness and hopefully the removal of the schedule will help encourage people to join. All they need to do is add us on XBL/PSN/Playfire and join us if they see us in a game (Y)

I'll probably ask a mod to move the topic to the Gamers Hangout as KZ2 approaches. In the mean time I'll be going over some of the smaller changes and refine the "rules" with Sethos :)

For any PS3 owners who haven't signed up (I know there was some interest earlier in the topic), sign up here.

Alright, I give up trying to join the clan on Playfire :p Every time I request membership it gives me a 404. Can one of the clan admins add me manually (username on Playfire is DuffMan)?

Also, anyone up for some GoW2 Horde? In a private party so we don't spend hours looking for other games, of course. I'm online now if anybody is interested.

I'm gonna be doing the five flashback maps tonight - Rounds 1 - 10 on Horde for the new achivement if anyone is interested, and if I get those done possibly some annex on the five flashback maps. Just so you know I am a ###### and your assistance will help feed my achievement addiction! :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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
