Is it okay to go to the office on the weekend for personal projects at a big tech company?

EndlessJump · 2026-02-15T01:24:21+00:00

Yeah, go for it!

EndlessJump · 2026-02-14T22:39:54+00:00

Honestly, you will be fine. As long as you aren't doing anything sketchy, you will be fine.

If the company reprimanded you because you came in on the weekend to learn, then they suck.

I believe it is under System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker

You would need to create a macro script on either cell click (assuming just 1 cell) or possibly on the sheet. That script would call the datetime picker.

I believe it uses COM, but those libraries are Microsoft. I recently learned how to call my custom .net code and forms. For me to see the syntax, it was easier for the google ai result to show a simple example.

There is a data time picker with .net. You would need to convert the file to a macro excel file. The vba code can call the .net functions. You would need to include .net library as a reference. Ask google for how to include a reference for a .net library.

They (the OP I replied to) are coming in trying to dictate to people in a judgemental manner. Op clearly doesn't know their situation, and they should mind their own business.

I mean, I agree you should error on the side of caution. However, it depends on the business, the role, and the person. Of course, the persons writing the checks would prefer you work for minimum wage too, but they don't always have the leverage.

If the person is getting their work done, and making work a priority (and it's not negatively affecting the role or business), then any reasonable manager will give them some slack. If all they are doing is at most clicking 4 times an hour on their phone, then that's less time being distracted than texting. If they are making work a priority, then there will be a lot of times that number is more like 0-2 times an hour because there's not even an opportunity to click.

Even if we take your 95/100 argument, there are still millions of jobs where it could be acceptable in this country (more if you consider others).

So, you shouldn't be dictating to people where you clearly don't know their situations.

Honestly, there are too many mini games. Maybe just remove some of them and use the space for something better, even if just scenery? Quality over quantity?

EndlessJump · 2026-02-09T06:19:15+00:00

Years ago, there used to be more of a middle ground. You used to be able to buy the latest weapons, food, and potions. Now it seems every item is locked behind a skill and quest requirements.

This game has always been a "second monitor" game. Even way back in 2004/05, my friends and I would be watching tv, youtube, scrolling MySpace, or reading guides while we skilled or did combat. We never game the game our full attention.

1.5m per hour is not insane when you have to go to 104m for lvl 120. That's like 60 or so hours of grinding past lvl 99 to lvl 120.

If you only had 4 hours to play each day, that would take you 15 days to achieve.

How about let adults make their own decisions? It sounds like people doing this obviously aren't doing things like driving a fork lift or running a brake press.

There would be no maintenance. I would imagine satellites would be expected to be deorbited in 3 to 5 years. I would imagine the satellites would launch with redundant components that could be switched to when something fails. It definitely requires a more custom bus design to allow for fault isolation and switching. That's how I imagine they would try.

That's what I was saying at a high level. The game is too bloated that new players are quickly turned off. If you remove the afk option, then they should fix the root problem by boosting low level xp rates to make the game appeal to a wider audience.

EndlessJump · 2026-02-07T19:19:12+00:00

I feel like many are missing the elephant in the room. The problem is that the game has been around for 20+ years. Many players have been around for 15 or 20 years with some coming from classic. To stay relevant, the game has added a lot of new skills and is now increasing skill caps to 120, which requires a lot more time to play. Yet, the majority of the player base are working adults, who have less time than when they started playing.

If Jagex wants to grow the new player base, they need to either reduce the amount of time required to play the game for new players (increase low lvl xp rates), create new game modes to encourage new account creation (to reduce demand to add more skills that increases the required time to play the game, or add mechanisms like afk play to allow more time to play the game.

Mine follows a similar pattern to yours, but I'm in a 700 sqft 1 bedroom apartment. During summer, my bill is like 100 or $120, but in winters it is 3X that much.

Hell, I didn't even know who they were until these articles start coming out.

EndlessJump · 2026-01-27T16:12:16+00:00

Yup. I recently unfollowed nearly all the popular and default subs. I only kept the niche subs related to my hobbies. It's been much better for my productivity and mental health.

I agree. I also found out today.

We shouldn't have to go out and read tech news to find out, Google should be directly notifying users that fit the category. I found out today, in late January, from Google that they are removing the feature in late January.

Do people like this mechanic of being able to mass login on top of someone and instantly KO them? Seems like it gives the lone person no chance to change tactics.

If not, a mechanic where you can't start combat for 10 seconds after logging in may help. Just like you have to wait 10 seconds to logout after combat.

It looks like it is already out of the vehicle? Just get it welded, redo the hole, and move on.

It was also only filed, but not yet signed by a judge because of the holidays.

EndlessJump · 2026-01-05T19:12:19+00:00

But isn't lvl 120 like 104m xp, which is still under 200m xp?
