12/01 - Thirsty Thursday!

Yeah, I think it might be more flustering for me cause the fiance is watching a movie and drinking beer and I want to go hang out !

 

This survey made me kinda salty and I might have bitten the hand that feeds a little bit in comments now that I think of it

 

Yeah, it wasn't too bad, with a few...odd...choices in there. More tedious than anything.

 

I always think of this video when I see stuff from that show.


But yeah it is a pretty cute anime. Another cute anime revolving around a cat is Poyopoyo

For the older turkers

 

No, this is happening on both my pcs...

 

Caught one!

 

I got one as well

 

are u using vpn? if so which one

 

Wait wut.. no 2-step is good to enable.. it is a great layer of security...

I suggest you and @Sunlite take a look at https://turkerhub.com/threads/protecting-your-mturk-amazon-account-via-2fa.34/

The captcha at login is amazon just being mad at you for various reasons and not being sure if you are a bot or not.. but it isn't the 2FA thing.. 2FA is either a text, an email, or the best is an actual authenticator.

I can't really suggest having auto login as well from a security standpoint..

 

2FA is great for things like PayPal and your online bank account, but enabling it for MTurk is counter-inducive to money because it's literally an unnecessary second-layer barrier to logging into MTurk, and you want as few barriers as possible when accepting HITs (e.g. on mobile, if you're logged out > tap a mobile panda > login > you're redirected to "No hits available" even if hits are available. imagine having to tap panda > login > check sms > switch to browser > enter code > nav 2 levels back to hit > re-tap panda and pray it's still live!)

 

not sure what a pn is...

and why would Amazon be mad at me- I do Turk on 2 computers, but only work on one at a time obviously- but I do accept 25 hits in a batch through a script on the computer my scripts are on and then work on them on my other computer cause it's faster...but have been doing this for awhile and the captchas are recent

 

oh virtual private network, not sure why amazon's mad at u either but maybe there's some algos detecting nonhuman behavior generating the captchas

 

You have no idea how much more money you make from cumulatively dodging "No hits available" thanks to autofill, you only enable it for your machine, or you do it to your chrome account (so autofill works on logged in chrome devices like your phone) but work on securing google with things like 2fa (not mturk itself)

 

You are logged out once every 12 hours. I'm pretty certain people can log themselves off when it is slow, and log back in and not notice any interruption to their turking and still have the added security. But, to each their own.

 

I know the logout cycle, it's pretty much the most solid factor why 2fa for mturk is highly counter-inducive to money (specifically with mobile devices because carriers regenerate ip's)

 

I'm sorry but .. Are you seriously suggesting people to lower their mturk security after what just happened recently?

It looks like it has something to do with cookies.. I personally haven't ever seen one at login. @Kadauchi might know more but a simple google search didn't pop up much other then it cookie related. If you edit the mturk cookie so that it never expires you shouldn't see that captcha at login anymore..

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/editthiscookie/fngmhnnpilhplaeedifhccceomclgfbg?hl=en on chrome MIGHT be what you are looking for or something similar but I honestly don't know

 

There are two ways to approach MTurk, you're in it to maximize profit and optimize by minimizing EVERY barrier to speed (from things like disabling scripts to reduce queries, eliminating unneccessary barriers like 2fa and securing GOOGLE login instead, since it will handle autofill, only active when securely logged in in GOOGLE) or you approach it like an Amazon.com shopper, I'm not telling you what to do but one is obviously the better way
