07/14 - Fancy Friday!

Welcome!

 

Vacation will change you, I feel like I'm starting fresh again on MTURK and it's only been a month. Probably too much drinking

 

Welcome

If you have only been casually turking recently you might not know about http://mturksuite.com/ and I really suggest checking it out.

 

I actually found it a couple weeks ago......it's AMAZING!

 

Is it just me or does it seem like there's a LOT of new requesters competing to see how many hits they can get done for as little money as possible?

 

That's exactly where I was a year and a half ago. I've been turking since 2012 and didn't know what a panda was, let alone how to use it (shout out to jqkill for helping me learn all the ropes ). From there, it very quickly became my main source of income. You're definitely in the right place to learn, so questions are always welcome and encouraged.

 

I blame /r/mturk and anyone who actually does underpaid hits. But mostly /r/mturk

 

I have to admit I did visit a couple other forums before I found this one. I LOVE it here....NO DRAMA and everyone seems to get along!

 

@DownsmomNC

If you feel like reading through it. (Because I am too lazy to rewrite it). My discussion in another welcome thread might help you get started. It might be a bit ahead of your turking level but you can always ask questions.

Is anyone good with routers? I just moved into a townhouse with gigabit internet and I'm having troubles. I had to hook my own router up to the wall(their connection) and have my desktop/ps4 wired into the router I just bought(Netgear AC1750) and my phone/ipad/laptop wirelessly connected. The speedtests range from 250-700Mbps wired on my desktop and 8.9Mbps on my PS4, the wireless connection is only getting 40-50Mbps. I also have had some random disconnects on both networks including one that made me fail an online exam earlier.

My main question on this is if there is something wrong with using the default settings on routers and if there is something I should be changing? The provider is Springnet and is a part of my cities utilities.

 

Uh I may have an AS in networking... soo

 

@ChrisTurk right now:



Rightfully so, because he works his ass off to keep this place as great as it is.

That's great! I have no idea what it is since it seems like a great network but then craps out on me. I just moved here yesterday and have already had it go out during an assignment which is no good with me taking some online classes.

 

I'm totally not being free tech suppport for my dad because of his scanner right now at all

 

You said you dropped out after your first year
