If I'm to be honest... the vast majority of turkers on the forum reading this conversation would be just fine with a chrome book. Because they wouldn't even use that to its fullest capabilities. But there ARE some out there who do have the motivation to expand their skillsets and don't make excuses to themselves about it. The advice that I give is generally aimed at them to help them make better choices out of the gate. If there's one thing I've learned from participating in these forums for the past ~4 years... it's that there are a lot of angry turkers who want to make more money, but don't want to do the things that are actually required to fulfill that desire. I'm typically not talking to them.

Also... the last thing you want to do on a lap sized phone is pay a monthly fee to use a resource intensive virtual box to do resource intensive things. You can do that 100% for free... but it would still be doing resource intensive things in a resource intensive virtual box on a lap sized phone. Don't get me wrong... if the chromebook is the only thing you have or can afford... rock that bitch out and make some money... but don't trade your ferrari in for a minivan if you are wanting to win a street race.

These aren't the worst ever. I emailed the requester and he says if you can't find a second person just leave those fields blank.
I was doing pretty well with those. I just can only do so many before I want to scream I really need to figure out how to get over this.

Literally taking a sip of coffee now...waiting for the handyman to fix my poltergeist infected bathroom lights (goes on and off by itself).
