sometimes while stuck at the desk for hours (at this time of year) I realise "oops its got dark" and have to switch a light on .

Eh , What , Alien tecknology :-)
Me still in age of steampunk :-)

I was more thinking about something like OLED or LCD with background light, which adjusts itself to what's needed.

Like the "Aug2001 vintage 17" CRT monitor" I have just sold on ebay for £80 (and it is sitting on the floor here to be packed)
They have to be VERY well packed , Royal Snail =Parcel Force , costs about £15 to anywhere in UK
And then buy two 17" led monitors from ebay for £30 (used IT recycling , tested working with 90 day warranty)
so in the end I get about £25 and two monitors that take up a lot less shelf space , use less electric and no scan beam radiation

Mad int it :-)

On some types of screens, yes.

And it's a lot better for the eyes, some people even use add-ons like DarkReader to have all pages dark. Some pages are automatically light or dark, depanding on your OS or browser settings.

I find it sad. I have received no climate prediction work in ages.

Rosetta 4.2 work units are not completing within the allocated time. Preferences set to max (1day12hrs) but the WU's only run at about 3% per hour on my Win10Pro machine.

I cannot afford 24/7 power and only run system when solar panels working (about 10 hrs per day atm).

Can admin please arrange additional time please??
thanks

Yes, because it wouldn't fix the problem I reported, crashing work units. You're just grumbling they won't work on your antique computer.

Have you read my first message?

It's the old app with the old problems

And I'm free to point out your request is absurd.

So, you opened a thread complaining wus errors on your pcs and it'a absurd to request better/bugfixed code (multiattached disk is only one possible features)?
Are you serious?

Resources would be the equivalent of our CPU time, which we allow them to use.

That's the difference between democracy and regime.
I'm free to donate my cpu time. And I'm free to ask better apps on my pc.

It's not a problem for IPD

IPD can mean 79 different things, pick one: https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/IPD

C'mon, you are here since 2006 and you don't know the Istitute for Protein Design?

The main part of the cosecode is closed, up to now

No reason for it to be closed.

You have to speak with RosettaCommons team..

Developers cost money.

It's not a problem for IPD

Nobody funds science.

Team of Alphafold does not agree

They could also ask for volunteer programmers, many projects do.

As I said, that kinda space is nothing nowadays. Why waste effort designing something to save what there's plenty of?

Good question. It is like one very big nation invaded another one with a lot of space avaiable inside...

A`Superhost` was considered some time ago ,

I believe the idea is a Squid thing like LHC crunchers use to download tasks to a single pc then send them out to multiple pc's....

I believe the idea is to have Rosetta@Home developers that fix code bugs and solve problems.
And, maybe, introduce features that help the volunteers.

Not really necessary, don't we all have large SSDs?

Great idea, waste space it's good!!

Becoming serious again, it's also a question of performance/optimization/etc

I believe the idea is a Squid thing like LHC crunchers use to download tasks to a single pc then send them out to multiple pc's and then return them from the original pc that downloaded them thereby bypassing one of the security features built into Boinc that is that the pc that downloads a task must be the one that returns it back to the project.
