What do you collect?


Recommended Posts

Star Trek ships (playmates, micro machines, heroclix and hotwheels)

 

I remember when I was little I had a Micro Machines box with all of the versions of the enterprise, all the enemy ships (Klingon Bird of Prey, Borg, Romulan Bird of Prey, etc.), and on the box it had listed the armaments, top speed, and commander of each ship listed, and I had it all memorized when I was like 7 or 8 years old, :P

Pokemon cards... nah just kidding.

 

I don't collect anything. I have various Xbox consoles i've obtained over the years. I don't feel i need to own every game / console variation or anything, i just ended up with various Xbox Consoles. I guess that is the closest I have to a collection.

I answered this thread two years ago and my collections have expanded from only "cameras":

 

- Minerals

- Depictions of skulls

- Art from friends

- Old computers

- Books on contemporary art, philosophy and sociology.

 

Hurray for economic independence.

What are these "books" you speak of?  :rofl:

 

My physical game collection is picking up steam. 

 

So that . . . and human souls

They are these rectangular things that sit on a shelf and collect dust.  The elders speak of fantastical tales of something being inside of them - craziness.   -- but they just sit there...doing nothing... kinda boring actually.

    • 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
