Welcome to the....fold....😏

This is hilarious! Lmao!

Ahh, thanks. Now I see
 

Am I doing this correctly?

Basically, no real point in having your protein viewer up though. It uses up some resources that could otherwise be used for folding!

Am I doing this correctly?

I've joined! I have a stockpile of old computers and I've installed Linux Mint on to them and got going! I currently have a total of 7 computers folding. 2 are mobile Core 2 Duos, one is a desktop Core 2 Duo, that bare board on the bench is my old server, which is a Xeon 3070, and that computer on the end is an AMD Trinity something... it's got built in Radeon graphics so that helps. I also have my computer on the task, which is a Ryzen 7 2700 paired with an ancient GTX 750 as well as my server, which is a Xeon X3440. I wanted to get some of my really old hardware going like a Slot 1 PIII and a few Celerons, but I don't feel like trying a million old versions of Mint to find one that works just to squeeze out a little more horsepower. I hope this all amounts to something because this is quite the power consumption lol

They added the ability to change your background though #baitnswitch

Amazing how good this game looks!

An old one, but a good one.  Applies to just about every "free" online service.

Summary:
It would appear while many people are enjoying Zoom for the free meeting functionality there are now surfacing reports that perhaps it might not be all rainbows and sunshine for the "free" portion of the app. Just recently reports have started to surface that, when you dig into the privacy policy, you'll see something that leaves a lot to be desired in terms of user privacy. It would seem that Zoom is in the business of selling information to advertisers for users for their free
products which includes all sorts of identifying information.
 
 
Thoughts:
They say when something is free that YOU are the product but this could spell a lot of trouble for Zoom in terms of privacy regulations such as HIPPA since they don't seem to discriminate between calls. If they are indeed collecting and selling off this kind of information there could be some huge implications just based on HIPPA alone, not to mention all the school calls/reports/etc and private business meetings that could have information collected from them as well. What the reports don't mention however is what about the paid users of Zoom and if they are subject to the same collections or not.

Edit:
As of March 27th the Facebook SDK has been removed but the question remains is there other data collection going on on the background to sell data to advertisers and how that data is being handled as well.

Has everyone bought their bread and milk?

What weird and crazy adaptors are laying around in your house?

Dell XPS 15 is the way to go if you want Windows

Understood, unfortunately he sold it off. 

I'll see if someone else may know or has encountered this problem before and has a solution. 

Thanks for your help 

Thank you for all the great advice, I decided to buy the 2070 SUPER (the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WindForce OC - 8GB)

Reminds me of the days when they sold GPUs by putting pretty girls on the box
