    Lab Researcher [A2PTJLFDGJ6OON] Personality & Decision Making - $0.10


    Underpaid

    Unrated

    Unacceptable
    $0.13 / hour
    00:45:00 / completion time
    Pros:
    Cons: I completed the hit 3 weeks ago from Requester "Lab Researcher" that required downloading extensive instructions and negotiating with another Mturk worker in a chat room on another site. I was credited and paid $0.10 at that time, but the main pay off of an additional $2.40 was to come with the post survey. I was to receive an email invitation to it, and I emailed the requester when I didn't receive the invite after 10 days. Again 2 days ago I emailed the Requester when I found the HIT for the post survey and was denied access to it because I didn't have qualification. I requested the qualification (twice now) and emailed the requester asking to grant me qualification for the post survey, or explain why I am being denied access to it. Still no response.

    TBH the whole XenForo forum software is pretty laggy and crappy on phone anyway lol.
    You pretty much need a flagship phone for it to feel responsive on mobile.

    Browser wars are in a flux right now lol.

    My only opinion is that there is no clear winner, and I have a copy of each of them (some with several different versions installed simultaneously).

    It was the requester error that caused the crack in your brain that caused the pasting of the wrong code.

    It was just a requester error, just a requester error.

    Requester error, requester error, requester error.

    Since you can add an external hdd to xbox/ps and play games off of that, I'd assume you can do the same with your laptop. My guess is that loading screens will take longer to load. Games that load maps as you go, you may notice things/other players taking longer to "appear" on the screen. As long as you're okay with things like that, it'll probably work "ok".

    You can also look into replacing the hdd on your laptop to a larger, possibly faster one. There is probably a youtube video on how to do it.
