Just got a speed warning and a time out because a study which was estimated to take 10 minutes only took me two. It had a grand total of 8 questions, with no demographics and no attention checks. I'm assuming I got the very first submission, before it updated with the actual estimated time, because there's no way it should take anyone ten minutes.

Anyways, anyone know who provides the initial estimate? Is it Prolific, or the requester?

Help me settle an argument. I answered a call for backup, from a guy who doing open world stuff. Once in, he asked if we could do a retal. I said I was down, but that he should have really used the retaliation matchmaking. I said that people who answer a general distress call, might not appreciate getting roped into a mode they weren't expecting.

The other agent countered with all kinds of name calling, "you're so stupid," "you're so thick," "what a dumbass," etc, and that answering the call for backup means you have to expect literally any activity in the game.

My line of thinking is, the devs added matchmaking to retal, to countdown, to bounties, etc. If you want to do a specific thing, you should matchmake for that activity. Its just common courtesy, and respecting other agents time and effort.

So who's right? I need to know. Am I being unreasonable?

I currently have Jellyfin running on a server I put together using some spare parts I had leftover from my last gaming PC upgrade. Its nothing fancy, but it does the job, and I have no complaints.

The issue is my wife. I don't leave the server running 24/7 so to be able to watch something on there, she has to turn on the server, wait for it to boot, then use the client (Onn 4k Pro) to navigate to Wholpin, load up her show, etc etc.

Is there an always on, low power usage device out there that I could be using? My wife isn't the most technically capable person so I'd like something I can leave on 24/7. Or am I over thinking this? I've looked at various NAS options and none seem to fit my needs.
