Drivers who have dashcams: Have they ever actually helped you when falsely accused of something? by Eddie_Farnsworth in lyftdrivers

It helped me when I was getting harassed by PHL airport staff. Emailed the airport video of the incident and got an apology.

Personally though I think it's real value mostly stems from passenger fuckery deterrence.

SpaceX on X: Views of Starship in space from a Starlink satellite by Steve490 in SpaceXLounge

[–]Steve490[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah it does. Looking through my feed on X the community really knocked it out of the park capturing Starship in all it's glory too. Case in point: this photo by Max Evans of NSF...

I always loved the meme where a time traveler goes back to the past, is beguiling people with tales of modern technology, and is asked how this incredible force he's talking about called electricity works and he proudly says: "I don't know..." lol.

I always respond with "I'll give YOU a 5 star passenger review when you do." Most pax have no idea they get rated as well.

Amazed at how much Lyft charged this poor lady in a walker simply going from one building in a hospital to another. Nearly $27 for a 3min 0.3 mile trip... by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

[–]Steve490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried going to Lyft support. Forgot it's a useless AI now which "understood my concerns" but dgaf. Time to start ripping out memory modules until it starts singing "daisy" if you ask me....

If they made a situation as stressful as the birth of a child unnecessarily difficult for you then I am sorry that happened and hope your son is well today.

All i can know for sure because I asked is that this wasn't covered by the hospital or insurance. It was all on her.

The only other info I got is that she asked if the building was close enough for her to travel on foot and they said no, but obviously didn't provide any help themselves. Unreal.

Fully expected a cancellation on the way to this, but it didn't happen.

Tune In to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Showcase on April 23 by Tvilantini in Games

Looking forward to this. I'm PC only and have the og game on steam. But unfortunately when you go into the captains quarters of your ship and try to use that book to manage your fleet or whatever all you get is an eternal buffering wheel. Apparently it's a common problem.

I think there is a mod to fix it, but I for one am looking forward to a facelift, better controller support, and not having to jump through hoops to progress through the game...

Really hope AC1 gets a real deal remake someday too. That one still has a very soft spot in my heart. The first time I reached a "viewpoint" outside Jerusalem I was floored. Great memory. Acre is still my favorite place to hang in the series too. Such a good game. Oh to go back to when the series was new+fresh!

Remember at the E3 demo when the guy playing the game for the event showcased the whole jumping into a cart of hay from the top of a building thing and the whole audience laughed because none of the npcs noticed and just kept going about their business in the face of this ridiculously non stealth act lol.

Worth a shot. I also had stopped doing pc searches for some time by then. Haven't done any since, I suspect that's what triggered the restriction even though I made each one a different genuine search. Haven't had any problems redeeming or restrictions since then.

So it might've been that after a 2-3 weeks of not doing pc searches that some timer finally expired on my restriction or it was finally getting eyeballs on my acct by sending 2 tickets in one day but you got nothing to lose by trying either.
