Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Ha all, the problem should be addressed at Asteroids forum. Despite having millions tasks ready, their feeder seems to be unable to maintain a quick distribution of large batches of tasks. It's happening every day, not only during sprints. Visually I see it in 'Task in progress' number which didn't...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Why is Asteroids@home choosen as Sprint Project? Hi The project was chosen (from a range of projects that have plenty of tasks) as the Asteroids admins are doing a good job right now as I have been in direct contact with them about this Sprint. They have even generated more tasks to ensure that FB ...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Microsoft are threatening to close the door on the TPM workaround and equally annoyingly close the door on a Windows install without logging into a Microsoft account. Hiya Yes, I've seen on other tech websites that Micro$oft are doing their best to ensure they can monetise their software as much as...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Hi Tim and everyone, I don't know why are so many people concerned with the 'latest hardware' issue for running Windows 11. I am installing win11 right from the very first UEFI-systems, literally from Intel 2nd-gen. It shouldn't be an obstacle. Although from this year I am also trying to use more L...

At least one project has been issuing tasks for that setup - I can't remember which project but I had a few tasks shortly after I configured Windows, I don't appear to have any now. Hiya ...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

And it's too bad Ramanujan still has some work, because windows only projects are a PINA :D (probably - one of - the last one ?) Hi I guess that this is dependent on whether the project has the resources to create a Linux client and this might be beyond some projects abilities. And secondly, there ...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Hi all Once this Sprint finishes, there are just 6 more left for you and your team to earn more FB points (other than in the Marathon). You should note that the number of possible projects to be selected for a Sprint is reducing all the time, as some projects have few (or even zero) tasks available....
