nice Ninja edit after my reply there Flux. and BTW... Sony DID shut down all operations, as did nearly every manufacuring facility there. Sony and a couple other plants that process raw materials re-opened minimal operations a couple days later for short periods of time once it was determined it was safe to do so. In general though, a the larger sector of all large scale UNNECESSARY facilities are on standby until further notice.


And they have been doing a much better job with their scheduling. A lot of the updates have been kicking off during typical business hours in the US--which happens to start off during a large portion of JP leisure time. So it is a lot more balanced then it used to be. At least I could still get on by 9-10PM instead of not being able to get on at all in our time zone like it used to be. Also, that happens to fall more in JP's evening time, which means SE may be paying a lot of overtime for those updates as well since they are doing less of it during the normal office hours when they are fully staffed. So I further appreciate their efforts on that front as well.
