12/15 - The Worker Era Begins

[Binxybaby]

Should we start a new forum just to bitch about this new worker site? lol

PC helper works on search pages and preview pages. It doesn't work if you click to accept a hit and you missed it. Amazon redirects the url and there isn't a way yet to circumvent that. If you right click the link of the hit from where ever you grabbed it from, you can grab the HIT ID from that link and manually put it into PC. Right now, that's the only way.


This post has a list of updated scripts

Happy Friday kids! Hope everyone is enjoying the comforts of the old dysfunctional MTurk before the new dysfunctional MTurk kicks in. I brought coffee.

On one hand, I hate hearing that people aren't making much today. On the other, it's making me feel a lot better about the number of naps I took this morning...

Naps are never a bad idea!

Well of course it is. Everything that comes out of that douchebag's mouth is bullshit. The benefit comes from us SEEING that, the 17 states suing the FCC as we speak, and the realization of how vital the internet is.

To clarify:

1) Ajit Pai is a former Verizon lawyer, who less than a week ago was joking with a Verizon exec about being a "puppet." He's much less intelligent than he thinks he is, which is a good thing for us, because he somehow expected this all to go through despite the need for net neutrality and the questions regarding the hundreds of thousands of anti-net neutrality comments using email addresses from people who never wrote them, and RUSSIAN anti-net neutrality messages (as in, messages traced to Russian IP addresses).

2) The lawsuits filed by all of these states (as well as others besides) keeps this vote from going through. And we all know how quickly lawsuits are resolved, right? We might have new Congressmen before this is even heard in court, much less decided.

3) If this hadn't happened, the entire issue of American internet service in general may have sat stagnant for years. This should end up accelerating the process (not a guarantee honestly, but awareness in general can expose people to the alternatives they never saw), meaning that the cable companies, whether or not they're in time, will have to scramble to make themselves competitive again. Google has no interest in colluding with the cable companies. Neither do the indy networks. Cable television service, in 5-10 years, should end up being something along the lines of over-the-air radio; some people still use it, but anyone who has something modern will likely not. Sling right now is the only service that really has *all* available channels, but I may even be wrong about that - I don't know what Youtube TV offers right now, or Hulu TV...or what they're planning on adding. Basically, the whole issue has been brought to people's attention out of nowhere.

Net neutrality isn't going anywhere, mostly because Ajit Pai tried to get rid of it.

So.. let me ask this.

So far I have been taking the hits in HF that I want to panda and right clicking on the dollar amount (the link to accept the hit), then adding a new job in PC and then pasting the link there.

Should I be doing something different? Cause this has worked, but if it doesn't work as well as someone else's plan, I am all ears...

I also included relevant info for the PC issue on missed HITs.

 

[ChristopherASA]

I hate the new site so much. It sucks.

I rely on PC a lot too, so having to add everything manually is going to really hit me hard $ wise.

OK, had to vent.

Me to, my friend.

If the links to accept pandas in PC are "Technically" broken, can we just add a button next to the dollar amount to click so that it auto copies the link to the clipboard?

Just curious if that would be a help or not...

I tried messing with AHK and I honestly cannot wrap my head around it.
