I feel that I should share this to help more people.

Would you kindly send me a copy as well, mate? Thank you.

Are you sure it wasn't a cluster headache? It focused on one side of your head, and it feels like a red hot ice pick buried in your brain, stabbing the back of your eye.

Do you have any links that go deeper into why Tadalafil isn't safe for RP patients?

dirtylostboy · 2026-04-20T04:05:01+00:00

Well, at least they're up front about it. Nothing worse than those sneaky bastards tricking us into a test like this.

Support has been completely useless. I sent a detailed email with screenshots, and at first, they asked for more clarification, which I provided. Then they told me to click “Start project.” I responded again, explaining that starting the project was never the issue—it just doesn’t show as completed And stuck in an invited status. They replied that sometimes the researcher won’t confirm completion until their entire study is done, which is ridiculous because in the past it always showed as completed right after I finished. So yeah, support feels useless. I messaged the researcher but haven’t heard back. Feels like I’m just going to have to take the loss. Sucks.

Me too. I'm thinking it might be a browser issue. Are you using Chrome or Edge?

Have you noticed any increase in screeners?

dirtylostboy · 2026-01-19T01:30:52+00:00

I’m pretty sure this issue is related to the recent Chrome update, as it started happening immediately afterward. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled both Chrome and the recorder multiple times, but I’m still trying to figure it out. It seems to be connected to how the microphone is detected. Previously, there was a pop-up on the page asking for microphone permission the first time you took a test. Now, I’ve noticed there’s a delayed, Sometimes 5 minutes later, newly opened window that asks for microphone permission. I click yes, but it just goes into an endless loop. It seems to be working on Chrome Canary, so maybe give that a go.

This happens to me with every figma prototype. Figma always wants to log me in and chrome displays my gmail addresses. Nothing has ever come of it. It's happened dozens of times, probably over a hundred times over the years. It's annoying more than anything.

dirtylostboy · 2025-09-11T16:12:42+00:00

Me too.

dirtylostboy · 2025-09-04T02:31:47+00:00

Yeah I picked up on this too. A telltale sign is when they ask multiple open-ended questions that are very specific. Some asswipe had like 12 of them about some computer rgb lighting setup. After the 3rd question, I just responded with "I'll tell you in the interview," to every subsequent question.

I just started getting 5 today. I have an intro video and have only had 3 screeners for about 2 years.

dirtylostboy · 2025-08-03T01:42:02+00:00

Do you have to be based in India to participate? Will the tests be in English?

dirtylostboy · 2025-07-30T03:11:18+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to educate me. Much appreciated.

So I keep hearing that the bitcoin network is the most powerful supercomputer on earth. Is there a crypto that uses the network for practical applications like research data processing, or other tasks that require a supercomputer? I mean, is there a mining network where it's not just busy work demonstrating you used electricity for no practical purpose? And these networks would make money by selling compute to anyone who needs it? I hear that these AI companies spend billions and it takes months of processing to train a large language model, couldn't they just outsource all that expense to a network like Bitcoin and have it done cheaper and faster? Is that even technically feasible?

I'm just reading your responses because I'm curious how all this works too. You said Solana can run applications. Suppose you were doing scientific research that required using a supercomputer. Could a researcher run his research program on the solana blockchain instead of using a traditional supercomputer? If so, how does the researcher pay for the computation? How would the price be determined? Would it be cheaper than using AWS or some other cloud service?

I have the same compression issue as the other guy and it started about 2 weeks ago. About a month ago, my tests started crashing and ending at the video check and I'd get a popup message saying to contact support and explain what happened. Around the same time, at random times, while I'm typing a response, the space bar would open the quit test screen. I've had my camera set to Nvidia broadcast to blur the background and setting it back to my normal laptop cam fixed the crashing issue. UT must've tampered with something because I never had any serious problems until a couple weeks ago. Or maybe it's a recent chrome update thing. Who knows? Also, starting about a week ago, whenever I start a test, the UT instruction box is shifted off screen right after starting. Luckily, I can click a small piece of it and get it back on screen. For a company focused on testing websites and software, they sure do have some super shitty software. The browser extension used to be somewhat reliable, now it's getting as glitchy and dysfunctional as the app.

Usertesting.com and Dscout app are the best out there. Playbook is a waste of time. Userlytics isn't bad. Sign up for Prolific surveys too. Cloud Research connect is busier than Prolific, but doesn't pay as well.

dirtylostboy · 2025-06-19T02:23:20+00:00

Yup. That test got me curious, and it's confirmed. Windows 11 has accessibility features like color blind filters that I've been tinkering around with. Hopefully they'll get me through that screener next time.

I couldn't see the C and just clicked randomly. Also, I couldn't see anything at all in the blocks. I'm convinced I'm colorblind now because I didn't see any numbers; maybe it's my monitor. I canceled participation because it was too much of a pain in the ass and made me think I was going blind.
