I lost mine yesterday, i went out for three hours, yep, just three hours to come back to windows login screen
There appeared to be a BSoD 1 hour after leaving, it even lost my auto sign in settings else it would have signed
into windows and carried on, i would have been none the wiser, annnyhoo, what with that down time and my
memtest down time after i got in, a total of about 2.5 hrs with a break in between, i lost my star, i checked yesterday
evening and it was gone, vanished, vamoosed, no more, finito, ok, ya get the message, it was plucked right off my lapel
Now, with me, the gold star is very simple in its workings, if i send data consistently regardless of what sensors are sent
if its consistent, i get me a star, if theres a substantial break i lose it until it becomes consistent again, i do not know
how long the break needs to be but, i have been down for an hour in the past and still kept the star so, somewhere
between 1 hour and 2.5 hours
Also, i do not know how long the time needs to be for it to be consistent either
i do not believe its the full 5 days as stated, but, there was a time not too long back where i had to wait what felt
like an eternity, although in reality it was prob closer to the 5 days +/-
I dont care what anyone else says, thats how it works for me, if you say any different,
I hereby, reserve the right to, substitute your reality for mine or is that vice versa, either way, i know what i mean,
consider ya self substituted
PS, i should point out that its not data accuracy merited unless your station is reported, it is consistency merited only
i could be reporting the conditions on mars, it wouldnt make any difference as long as i was sending consistent data.
PPS, i will update this when it comes back, then we can see how long it takes compared to the 5 days as stated...
