10/27 - Fix 'er up Friday!

*bookmarks this as the perfect example of why the pay rating is actually useful in tandem w/ hourly data*

Yeah, I was gonna try to do it.. I do not have balls big enough to get past that page. What a disaster.

 

I'd change the login info

The only option that worked was Other America. We're just the other America, guys. Nothing to see here.

 

This option worked great for me:

 

Dammit Dermot, get in my queu.

 

Because my scraper isn't always set to penny hits. Although... good point. I probably can just use the HIT Finder on MTS that I don't use always configured in this manner.

And then when Kad fixes the HF memory leak on MTS, swap the jobs out.

 

I have my hit finder beta (userscript version) running at 1 second, latest, $0.00

 

So, as I've posted a few times before, I bought one of these old babies in an attempt to have a small little HTPC running. I can double check the specs, but that should be it. Because I wanted to use the tiles, I upgraded it to Windows 10 and, per @Randomacts 's suggestion, I put in this video card. Those are the only two "upgrades" I've done. I should be meeting the minimum specs for virtually anything I want to do, and some things run great, but I'm still having some performance issues. For one, it's pretty slow to wake from sleep and to start up. It doesn't help that I have a bunch of crap happening on start up. I thought maybe it had something to do with the hard drive, but from what I'm gathering there really isn't anything wrong with the HDD.

Also, I'm still having issues with some streams. Although I think that's more on their side, because even my "workhorse" computer still stutters on some of these sites.

Would more RAM help in anyway? Just getting a cheap, newer CPU to put in? Sorry for the dumb questions, folks, but I like to be thorough on things and this is the only way I know how.

 

Color the payrate according to the pay rating?

 

i was qualed last week? is it a different qual?

 

Crapola. I put in Central America because it was the closest. My brain was not firing on the right cylinder for that part. The income part was what was the most confusing to me though.

Waking up from sleep should be pretty much instant but perhaps with hardware that old (DDR2 ect) at some point it is slowed down.

 

Perfectly reasonable if you live in Nebraska/Kansas/Missouri?
