Nvidia is putting out a call to PC gamers everywhere to  download the Folding@home application
and start putting their spare clock cycles toward advancing humanity's scientific knowledge of coronavirus. The program links computers into an international network that uses distributed processing power to chew through massive computing tasks - something that gaming-grade GPUs are quite good at, as it turns out. You can still turn the application off and reclaim your GPU's full power for playing games whenever you want.

This is a very real way that the TD "Master Race" community can help in the research to combat this pandemic.

I folded throughout the early 2000s for cures.

I'm done with the BS.

Edt: Folding used to be how one "ePeened" back in those days.

No, folding community is pretty awesome. It was started by Stanford in the 80s I believe.

It's a good thing, I used to Fold for the computer-forum team in 2001-2005ish then OCN until around 2009.
