Okay...I've been living under a rock for 2 years. Or maybe I tried out BoincTasks and gave up on it since there is a bit of work to get it to play nice with NVDA (screen reader). It likes to refresh and yank my focus back to the top of the list of tasks among other things, like unlabeled edit boxes in settings. Still I'm stubborn and persistent and working on accessibility issues is my job, so I'm slowly learning my way around it. Incredible. I mean, the info is just right there. Everything you could want or need to control the client, tasks, projects, and if I'm reading this right even CPU control using tThrottle. ....goodbye bam. I never used it much anyway and you are so very right, it's very confusing and convoluted.
Tomorrow will be working on all the machines on the network. Can I also use this over the internet, if I'm away from home? I just skimmed the manual and I'm only seeing computers over the network though to be fair I didn't get very in depth.

Process Lasso...boy oh boy. How do you go about divvying up what processes to run when and on what cores? I don't really have a lot of powerful gpus - Rx570 and gtx 1080 are my main two along with a 1050 ti in my x1 extreme, but that then yanks the CPU's TDP to 15 W instead of 45 and I have no clue how to fix that. Oh, and I guess I can count the poor old hd6450 and gtx 670M...but everything else are cpus. Having no vision I'm glad I can use the gpus I do have for some good.

I'll take a look at that other stats site you mentioned tomorrow too. Me and boincTasks are going to become fast friends in the meantime.

I'll have to spin up a Linux vm at some point and play with it. Using Orca via the gui got me nowhere and initial setup through the terminal was a little confusing for me but doing it repeatedly and getting more familiar with Linux commands in general would do me good anyway.
