Nothing like crisis to bring more into the folding *pun* intended, I let my GPU fold for about 6~8 hours day. not a much as some people folding with 32 core cpu and titan gpus

This is driving me crazy. I want to fold.....but my GPU gets too hot.... Next card will definitely not use a reference cooler.....

And this system is still as responsive as if it weren't doing a day'uhm thing!!! Installing games and buying shtuff online....

Awesome news! It's great to hear the first protein to help fight this Covid-19 Flu Virus has been found. I'd like to buy toilet paper again! ( J/K trying to lighten the mood!) Most importantly, I would like people to get through this first and foremost! It's been a long time since I posted and have been running Folding @ Home since Hilbert posted! It's good to see this 2950x and 2080 Ti cranking out these numbers! This thing is flying through these workloads. Thanks for the heads up!
We just surpassed the worlds most powerful super computer by two times!? We just made history here!

Stanford appears to be lacking sufficient bandwidth to handle all of the people that have joined F@H the last couple weeks. Apparently Linus from LTT has offered to give Stanford a hand.... Skip ahead to about 8:20 in the video.....

I was wondering why the queue was empty at times... great problem for them to have lol.
Regarding Linus' heat during that demo, while my computer is not chewing through 1000 watts, it does throw some heat. I have it set up in the basement, with wires coming up through the floor into the living room. It keeps the basement warm by itself... not like 80° or anything, but cozy enough for my mom to quilt down there with no other heating (while it's in the 30s outside).

Could someone help me to understand how this thing helps actually?

Not 100% accurate, but here is how I understand it.
Folding@home purpose is to understand how protein behaves (folds). Protein misbehaving causing diseases. Folding@Home simulates how protein behaves and with enough data, it can be used for research purposes to create drugs to fight specific disease or other cases to fight and prevent it.

Very nice initiative! I am glad to help even with not so much power! I am with Guru3D team!

Theres no quality there, thats from your phone-taken picture, not even zoomed up since its such a large unnecessary picture.
But again, i'm not sure why you seem to think this is some sort of debate, it's not. You were doing something unnecessarily when there are easier and better options, so i told you about it, and you are now doing it, not really sure why you are trying to make something more of it.
Either way i am done with this conversation that never needed to go beyond the original reply, apparently you don't like help, i'll remember that in the future.
....no.
Quality is never there when taking a picture from a phone of any screen, especially when you can get a near perfect quality from a print screen.
I don't understand the reasons for your reply.
What i state are facts but you're acting like this is some sort of debate.
