    For sure I agree with what you said as far as the laptop goes, and sure doubling RAM will "feel" good, but I think it's just throwing away $50 to put it into RAM for his situation (strictly for MTurk purposes).

    He wont make a good ROI on that $50. He'll get a handful of extra browser tabs out of it, that still don't work b/c his CPU is ass, and the scripts trying to do all the heavy lifting for him in the background will be even less likely to parse & catch work and it will be entirely invisible to the user.

    Save the $50 until it's $400 and buy a cheap work desktop setup. He's basically 12% to goal already. If you're trying to min-max on MTurk (which people should IMO, it's literal pennies ) I just think the $50 to a stick of RAM is bad. An hour of self reflective workflow adjustments on his POS as-is probably would be better though arguably a million times more difficult lol.

    I think a laptop isn't a suitable work environment for serious MTurk work. If someone had a minivan and was trying to haul lumber he could pay someone money to cut a hole in his roof and carry 2x4's vertically and it would "work" but he'd still be a dumbass for not waiting and purchasing an actual truck :p

    Also, obviously I don't care what any of you do with your time/money, put fucking pinstripes on your cell phone and turk from it for all I care I just wanted to exercise the grey matter for a second thinking about it lol.
    Oh we've been over what I think of YOUR work setup :emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy:

    I'm not really a good case study in workflow efficiency mostly because 90% of my income comes from a w-2 job.
