I'm a bit confused, I've got nothing folding for PCMR. I assume the older entries are someone else with the same username. Can there currently be someone else folding with the same username I'm using?

Yes... that´s how I trolled C3Shark earlier...

Just was checking my stats overnight, looks like it may have decided to go back to the default team (advanced view on both computers seem to be showing still part of the ltt team)

 

I think it is back to normal now but hard to tell - hopefully won't lose too many points as result

did you check here: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/ ?

eoc has been hit and miss for some people.  i still think im missing some point from both servers...but hard to prove...

Same for there. I guess some people are getting points and some not. There are no errors on my side and its sending with no problems.

likely the server you are sending to has yet to report what it recieved and you will have a spike later today/tomorrow.  I have about 3 GPU wUs unaccounted for currently they where uploaded 1.5-2 hrs ago and my points havent moved

heres one for you while I'm just waiting on this to get sorted.

 

My friends parent is a uni lecturer, a student has emailed the lecturer to tell them that they can't hand in their work on time because they have no internet...

I mean if the work is on a PC without internet and they have mobile data on their phone without a way to tether it, I could see that being a thing. They might be able to plug the phone into the PC and transfer the file to it but that's not always so easy to do or could be like my phone where the C port only charges now and there's no data working through it for some reason.

I can see this, their phone may be working but their internet at home may be down.  Had that happen several times, before I got my internet really stable.

 

If my home internet goes down, I can't do my work, but I can still email people from my phone

I probably should have added the best part, it's a Uni supplied laptop with a 4G unlimited sim...

Doesn't really matter as their shipping costs are insane for anywhere other than the continental US. For Canada, when I last checked, it would be $50US for shipping as they insist on using one of the more expensive couriers.

Not bad (2070 super), tho it is cheaper at Canada Computers (10-60 on sale) after conversion, esp once you take into consideration UPS will want to charge you import costs... Guess EVGA really likes loosing money since they sell cards at full price on their site vs selling at discounted prices to re sellers.

 

I do agree I don't understand companies that cant be bothered shipping threw other means like USPS. The number of companies I would love to buy from that refuse to are countless...

 

I do have the money for a 2070 , No Bad @Egg-Roll Bad!

That's what happens when it's 2am setting up F@H on Linux

Yeah that'll do it.  2am is not the best time to be manually configuring stuff.

I mean possibly, but we have massive redundancy in our networks, torching one mast won't cause on outage. I believe most phone networks are the same.

 

Damn I need a drink!

While we wait for our results heres one...

Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down! Actually I've just been talking about this with the microwave, toaster while drinking coffee and all of us agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron calmed me down as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing. The hoover was very unsympathetic... told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over! The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked its opinion and didn’t say anything but the door knob told me to get a grip.The front door said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to ........yes, you guessed it .....pull myself together. Then I just asked the computer she said to just restart your self and everything will be running smoothly

My computer is telling me it is time to sign off for the day...
