07/25 - Tenacious Tuesday

[ctraltDel]

Question about this ... so I did the HIT a few days ago. After playing immediately uninstalled the program. This weekend, I've had 2 personal accounts (Comcast and Fidelity) send me emails stating my accts were locked due to multiple log in attempts/suspicious activity. I'm not saying it's connected and I really knew better than to click on an .exe file for a HIT ... but am curious if anyone else has anything like that happen in the past few days.

It could also be totally unrelated ... still makes me wonder though. Thankfully, I have safeguards in place that catch these things, but still worrisome.

Just going to put this out there - It's unlikely to be related, especially if you immediately uninstalled. I contacted the requester and the head of data science at Aarhaus University in Denmark responded promptly with a university e-mail.

It's more likely that someone who is scraping e-mail/password hash lists tried your account.

The Monday thread was locked because the Tuesday thread was started. Do you need it unlocked for something?

does anyone here still collect movies (blu ray/dvds/etc) in this age of streaming online?

And VHS.
Physical is preferable.

And Netflix doesn't have special features.

I do, I can't stream.

I do, I can't stream.

My parents do, too. No internet at their house, so they can't stream anything.

For whatever reason, yesterdays thread is "newer" than today's.

I've... never heard of that. How strange. I've only ever heard of people loving it.

They were just having that debate over on TurkerHub a few minutes ago and I've seen it plenty of times before. Also on MturkGrind whenever I brought it up.. I'd get a flood of "find your own hits", "real turkers don't need to use it", "only two people still use that anymore", and "why don't you just use hitmonitor instead". My ideology is, if it's an extra tool that helps find work, why not use it?

I think you're talking about the website thing I can't think of the name of, not mturksuite and hitfinder.

I accidentally posted in Monday's thread at 8:00AM this morning, which is after Tuesday's thread was created. I don't know if that matters? I deleted my accidental 8:00AM post just now, just in case that was confusing it.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about something else, not MTS.

Edit: Yes, what @TheresaofAlbion said? Or that old HIT finding/suggesting extension called... uh.. Crowd something?

Yes, I accidentally aimed my time machine backwards.
