GOG[^] are giving away Serious Sam - The First Encounter for a couple of days.
If you haven't played it, it's a first person shooter with a sense of humour - and an enormous number of bad guys. Most of which are crammed onto the screen with you. They aren't bright, but my word they are quick and viscous! Traps, secrets, all the usual - and while it's on rails it never really feels that way, mostly because you have to fight for most of the way anyway. If you get to a quiet moment ... that's when something nasty is going to happen!
Good game!

It says Windows XP or Vista. Why are you doing this to us?

It runs fine under Win10 on my machine.

And I just checked: the game page itself says:
Works on: Windows (7, 8, 10)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Has anyone used Upwork?
It seems to be some kind of freelance job search site. But they want to validate you by having you upload a copy of your ID. Seems suspicious to me.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

It certainly sounds fishy to me.
You are presumably required to show some sort of ID when opening a bank account, when starting employment, or when dealing with government offices. In all other cases - especially over the internet - I would be very suspicious.

Correct. There's an echo in here.

Don't you become an employee by signing up?

I dunno. I don't think so. They're just connecting you to open contract work as an independant. You don't become an employee at all.

If you are starting employment, then yes. I have yet to see a recruiter that required me to leave a copy of my ID; at most, they will ask to see it to verify my identity.

I think Upwork enters you as an employee.

That would be unwise on their part. All that red tape and hassle when so few people who sign up will actually do any work.

Never in my life they asked me to show ID, not to say to give in a copy of it...
Bank account details were sufficient...
