I'm logged into MTurk on 3 laptops right now.

 

I'm not even logged in to MTurk right now.

 

I agree that it's possible a virus would bog a machine down, but that's not not typical virus/malware. It's usually to steal information in some fashion. Why go through the trouble of infecting someone's machine when you can just port scan/flood ping them. Easier and not criminal.

 

Just watch the video dude.

 

Why are you so cool?

 

I will in a bit when this show I'm watching is over. My TV is also my main monitor for watching netflix, etc.

 

It seems like the flag is gone in the latest Chrome releases, so whoops. (used to be chrome://flags/#expensive-background-timer-throttling )

chrome://discards will show you unloaded / discarded tabs though. Obviously no bueno. Chrome shouldn't be doing that to PC though if it's in the foreground, but can't hurt to check.

 

Preeety sure the 8 fantasy football leagues this year is going to break my brain

 

Because I'm a wolf.

 

Maybe they meant two PC scripts and not two PCs?

 

You guys could always message JohnnnyRS. It doesn't seem like he's adding much these days, but I bet he would fix bugs... especially new ones introduced by mturk changing stuff on their side.

 

thats why i asked, i have my phone/tablet/pc all running right now

eh, even then that doesnt make sense but who knows

 

Correct, I used the terminology they were using as to not confuse, PC in their questions meant Panda Crazy not computer. I'm not talking about logging into multiple devices, but about running simultaneous Panda Crazy scripts on multiple devices. Once very easy to do, now it's not as easy. You can try, and if you can do it great, but you are now drawing from the one pool of PREs not the two we had when it was the two sites.

 

#1, no

#2, has absolutely nothing to do with AMT. It's a Chrome issue that he's already attempted to address.

 

Finally got a LOL on that video post. At least someone watched it.

 

you're welcome...that shit was damn funny!

Pros:
Interesting concept

Cons:
It got buggy in the 4th-5th round. I'm talking to the requester now though to see if I can help them troubleshoot it. They responded immediately and approved within a few minutes.

Shrug. I'm not experiencing that (even in chrome). I know that mturk does make breaking changes for it's users from time to time. It was just a guess/suggestion.
