Customizable buttons are amazing, I got myself the G502 and the software for mapping buttons is great but really, it has the most important feature for both gaming and turking: RGB lighting.
i went looking for a mouse and god damn if they all don't look absurd

It gets easier once you build up a little cushion. The worry is still there sometimes, but not as bad if you can afford to take some rejects
Ya I'm only at 14k 4 rejects. Terrified of losing my 99.9

I got like 249 rejects in one day in 2015. Thought my turking life was over

Now I'm at -

316, 900 approved with 555 rejects (not happy with that reject count) ratio is 99.8
249 in a day. I'd prolly destroy my computer desk and just call it a wrap on Mturk. Thats rough

Does it make much of a difference between 99.9 to 99.85?
I am at 99.85.
Is this why I miss out on some surveys for qualification?

anything after 1 rejection and above 99% is the same, so the decimals don't really matter. But once you get 1 rejection you can't do anything requiring greater than 99%

It's not going to make that much of a difference. Requesters usually use 95% or 98% or sometimes 99%. Whether you have 99.9 or 99.85, you're still going to qualify for things that require 99%.

I doubt it I think most people strive to be at least 99.0. I can remember only one survey that required 100% ratio so 99.8 would round up

I got 31 rejects with about 23,000 hits. About a month ago Flying Fish gave me 8 in a day. It was my first time using Flying Fish.

you are exactly right though. I'm using the TV as a second monitor.. and... actually the TV is the primary
the touchscreen laptop is secondary, so that I can just tap the panda on hitfinder, instead of using the mouse

99% of the time, HITs requiring "greater than 99%" are requester mistakes.
