Picked up a rider and two guests. One of the guests were badly behaved. Would you give a 1-star to the rider because their guest behaved badly?
Bought it 2018 for $140 as a refurbished unit from GameStop. Now it’s worth $500+ on ebay since it’s dual IPS.
That’s why they don’t need to raise game prices, because they have 40 times more people to sell games to so they’re already making 40 times more money from the same games without increasing prices.
Sitting and rejecting the jobs that pay 15 an hour to drive 30 miles in that hour and waiting for a job that pays something worth the time and gas and wear and tear on the vehicle is the hardest part of this job because you never know if the next ride that comes in will be enough. It’s like a game to Uber. They try to entice you with these low rates and you reject them because it Doesnt Pay Enough and you just sit and wait and hope a decent paying ride is going to come in and it’s stressful and demoralizing.
I just had a ride that said it was only going to take four minutes. The ride ended up taking seven minutes. I feel like that happens a lot with Lyft rides. Does anyone else feel the same? I feel like they’ve been deceiving us.
I leave my PC on 24/7 because in my experience hardware fails from being turned off and on daily. However there are days I don't use my PC at all and I have a couple hdds and ssds in the same PC and I know hdds can last tens of thousands of hours but if there's a couple days I'm not using the PC I would rather the drives spin down. I know I can set Windows 11 to spin the drives down after a few minutes of inactivity but I don't want that, I want them all to be active during the day, and I also want them all to spin up as soon as I login. Why isn't there a setting for that? I know I can use powershell to have them spin-up but spinning down at a certain time required 3rd party software.

I picked up a passenger who had a tire blowout on the highway. He said I was taking him to a used tire dealer that was very far away. I asked why we didn’t go to the walmart that was a few blocks away and he said he couldn’t afford a new tire. His two young kids were saying that they were hungry and seeing how he couldn’t even afford a new tire I offered to stop at the McDonald’s we were already driving by to buy them lunch. Then I took him to the tire dealer, waited for them to put a new tire on the wheel, and drove him back to his car. That’s my good deed for the week.
A rider might take a few rides a month, but each of us drivers pay uber for hundreds of rides a month so why are they so quick to attack us and kick us off the platform? I had a rider that was mad that uber was giving me a route he didn’t like to his address and started cursing at me so I ended the ride and told him to get out and called uber to let them know. Week later I get a complaint about it and that I might be deactivated. This is after thousands of rides and over a decade on Uber with no complaints.
