the concert is probably Penny's party

Great episode, I'm starting to feel better about where they're taking this on Sunday.

(PS - yea, I haven't participated in this thread until now, but I've been watching since day 1 and on other forums. I simply never thought to look here to discuss Lost)

I believe it is Penny's concert, but without DS. That dress wouldn't be for a DriveShaft event, plus what better way for really epic **** to go down while they play extremely sad classical music to toy with our emotions.

It's the perfect backdrop. That's my one and only theory for the finale.

Hmmmm...so, Desmond is a "failsafe" for the island? I am guessing he can withstand the electromagnetic energy that is at the core of the island that Jack has to now protect? And, with him withstanding that energy, the island collapses on itself or something?

What I do not get, though, is if Widmore brought Desmond to the island because he is a failsafe, then why is MiB going to destroy the island (that is, use the failsafe) with the use of Desmond? Wouldn't that fulfill the purpose of Widmore bringing Desmond back (supposedly under Jacobs order)?

Also, Jacob confirmed that Smokie/The Monster/MiB IS his brother. He said he made a mistake long ago by throwing him (at the time he says this, all the Losties know is he is talking about what they call "The Monster") into the core of the island.

Whether smokie is something that is feeding off MiB's soul, or whether it is directly MiB, we do not know, but we do know now that "The Monster" is Jacob's brother in some form, if I understand what was said correctly.

EDIT: Ah yes, Jacob says something along the lines of "I threw him into the light, and now all he wants to do is kill me", meaning his brother is still alive in some form, trying to exact his revenge on Jacob.

So is anyone else planning something special for Sunday night?

I want to goto a party, but our city doesn't seem to have anything like that going on.

I am planting my rear on the couch for however long it's on for. :p

What time does it all start anyways?

I am gonna start at 7PM!!!

    • 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
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
    • >Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. The story behind that bug would be an interesting one.
