You get one week of time-off per year?

I guess?
Edit: Dug out the doc. Apparently it's a max of 112 hours, with a max rollover of 80. Supposedly this is better than having split dedicated sick hours.

Does ‘time-off’ include ‘time not being paid’?
-
Is it the only vacation time you get? Because if so, this is even less than China's.

It's the only time I tend to take, circumstances notwithstanding.
Been using more hours than typical doing useless doctor's appointments though, so there's that.

It’s about time America adopted what Europe does, and mandate that full time workers get like 4 weeks a year of PTO, with a separate bucket for sick leave.

status: always nice to learn about planned maintenance by the interruption.
@error_bot status
Let me know if the six hour window was shorter.
Service interruption
There is maintenance in your area. This upgrade will take place automatically, and there is no action required on your part.Estimated time of repair: 05:59 AM

Honestly I'd rather have inflation reversed and the minimum wage eliminated.

@Tsaukpaetra without wishing to get deeply into territory, the second one doesn’t really impact the first one, especially if the second one doesn’t keep up with the first in any fashion.
If your country is anything like mine, government corruption (its increasingly in the news here) and naked profiteering are far more of a problem, causing the former and driving the latter into irrelevance.

And they don't really need to either. One can wish for disparate things.
-
@Tsaukpaetra one better be careful what they wish for, they might just get it. And reap the unexpected consequences of doing so.

I'm not sure when it becomes playable. It's supposed to be released on 24 Oct, and it's already tomorrow Euro-peon time, which is where Colossal Order is located.
11:00 CDT, just under 2.5 hours. I'll be working. Or "working". Either way, not gaming.
According to Steam, preloading was successful; all 51GB downloaded. Windows says ...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II folder is empty.

Steam downloads, but doesn't unpack the "depots" until it's time. In case you'd want to snoop around the game data.

@Zenith RE:
the narrator didn't like Hulk Hogan either
Yeah, I can tell:
Sure, from other sources, there are plenty of negatives about both the Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan, and rightly so, but what I watched of what you linked, yeah, it sounded like the guy had a personal reason to just surround any point where he "had to be positive" with negative quotes/shoot interviews/claims.
I probably made it about the same length you did before I had to stop. It just got old.

I did that the other day. Didn’t take long and was perfectly smooth. Only asks you if you want a new desktop background, that’s basically it.

It does replace Safari with the newer Safari. And you are using Safari like a good little Apple iFan, correct.
No, that wasn't a question. You want to use Chrome? You're using it wrong.

It also leaves the default browser as Firefox.

I'd rather use Safari in fairness.

@loopback0 Firefox > Safari > Internet Explorer > Links > reading html in notepad > Edge > a hole in your knee > Chrome.

I was joking on the whole Safari is the correct browser thing, MacOS is generally actually very well behaved.

Status: Ordered the 4K restorations of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Now I have three whole blu-rays! Well, technically four, since the other two are The Last Crusade in 4K and the regular version of BMOP. Trying to keep this collection somewhat exclusive, you know! Maybe Winter Soldier, Civil War, or TF:TM next...
Also, suspicions confirmed, BestBuy's accountless order/item links die in less than a year, even if the items are still available. Another smashing success for their offshore duhvelopers and overpaid manglement.

Of course they do. They want you to make an account like a good boy.

Why is there even a second keyboard layout installed and how can I uninstall it without administrator access?

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:

I’m pretty sure it was Ctrl+Shift. But it’s one of these things where you only realize later that this supposed No-Op did something infuriating and then have no idea how to undo it.
-
@topspin On US Win10, at least, it's definitely Alt+Shift by default. I know this because I have multiple keyboard layouts installed and switch between them frequently — sometimes even intentionally.
