1/3 - Tech Fail Thursday!

Even if that were physically possible, most pennies nowadays are disgusting and I'd probably end up with some kind of strange infection doing that.

Such a disappointing but rational answer.

just disinfect them first.

Food for thought a dump truck filled with pennies would be worth roughly 194k, I want videos of the neighbors fighting over them. Thanks.

OMG
I just was reminded that Shapless dropped pay, and now I'm really grumpy.
Well, MORE grumpy.

Just so we are 100% clear. Not the update button, you click the box to the top left of it (after running the update.) I've noticed It only works in chrome. If you're in Chrome and it's not working your browser is prob blocking something.

It's does exactly what you are looking for. Allows you the search through quals by keyword. Or by last assigned, which is useful.

Well, that would be nice. I'd have to reinstall it. Yes I hit the tiny invisible button not documented anywhere that I could find except by searching the forums, didn't seem to produce anything, but I can't tell you exactly how long I waited.

And @Despairagus , it could have been blocked or interrupted, but I'd have to reinstall it to try again, and it looks like there's nothing to search for from what's being said now.

I don't like to have 37 unused scripts sitting there, if something doesn't seem useful I remove it. I've had some problems with scripts before.

It may also be that this machine only has 4Gb so Chrome bogs it down badly when I get too many things running. All modern browsers are horrible memory hogs. The new system will have more RAM.

Maybe I should take a closer look because it only works in Firefox for me, which is really inconvenient because I use Chrome 99% of the time.

I spent like 20 minutes trying to get it to work in Firefox. Funny how our positions are reversed

It just worked first try in Chrome.

I would LOVE if that was the case! I've done all the troubleshooting that was recommended, but nothing worked. I wonder what the deal is?!

At least chrome doesn't memory bleed anywhere near what firefox does, at least for me it never has. I wouldn't mind upgrading this old computer, but then I'd want to drop 2-3 grand on something overkill.

This, seriously. I tried to switch away from Chrome because the antics of Google execs are seriously squicky, but when I used Firefox the same way I've got used to using Chrome, my computer started crashing multiple times a day. I came to the unpleasant conclusion that switching browsers was doing me a lot more harm than it was Google.
(You'd think Mozilla would have done something about that by now. I feel like Firefox has been that way since it was called Phoenix...)

(also, the rest of my day's kind of been a trainwreck, but it doesn't seem like I've missed anything on mTruk while I've been dealing with that. Sorry there's no money for anyone though)

For me it mostly occurs due to the flash plugin, when multiple videos are left up. It doesn't happen too often but now and again, I just restart firefox and it is good to go.

Oh, huh. One of my biggest requesters *for some reason* still insists on using Flash, so maybe that's what the problem is. Cheers, I didn't even think of that.
(And yes, the problem goes away upon a restart, but I'm used to leaving multiple windows with multiple tabs open in Chrome for days, even weeks at a time. Losing my tabs on the daily was causing issues with all kinds of stuff.)

This dinosaur is still running a I7 920 2.66Ghz with 12Gigs of DDR3 533Mhz ram, just looking at the numbers make me cry inside. Though it does fine with this. Usually when firefox starts draining too hard I'll just kill the flash process and let it figure itself out.

Jeez, how long ago did you guys use Firefox? The Quantum update fixed a lot of things, I thought.

I still use it now, flash still memory bleeds. Has for as long as I can remember. I mean it takes a while for it to really cause it effect but it always happens eventually.

Yep, my issue was taking place just a couple weeks ago.

It's okay you won't have to deal with that for very much longer.

Admittedly I have a lot of spare parts, but all the hardware for mine except the SSD I just ordered was free (and that was only $33). I can get a Win10 license for $45 (and I'm about to).

If I was going to spend more money it would have been on more cores and RAM, because lots and lots of tabs.

To pay, roughly, for what I got would be, umm, $350-400, not including the monitors. Monitors (used) + monitor arms something like $120.
