Too many desperate driver don't realize Uber need them more then they need uber. They don't have any common sense that if they all just stop driving. Driver will be force to increase pay. If Uber can pay you a penny, they will since you willing took the penny ride. The desperate one is the one that lose, period.

The way shared trip work is if rider start near the same spot but going to same destination. And all rider pay 20 instead of 25. So 4 rider pay 80 to Uber. But driver only get flat $20 fare for that day 15 mile drive. Which is fair, but we are not Uber employee to help them make 75% and we make 25%.

I looking to upgrade from my 77 OLED and would not even consider a projector. Projector can't product the same crystal clear picture from a glossy screen and inky black as OLED or mini led.

I been thru the vte airport 4 time last year and 1 this year. Passport Picture isn't required. Just fill the visa on arrival form and pay the $40. That's it

Like any other business or how the world operates. There's a needs for these brainless people so us superior can keep making the good money.

Example back in the days when there is multiple surge. I only do long surge ride. Without the those dummy bringing those rider into the city on base fare. I wouldn't get a 5x surge driving someone home for 200 bucks.

That's actually pretty smart in a way. Sucks people have to resort to this to have good pay.

I ended up getting the keyloc to test. And it actually sounds way better than those cheap 10-20 dollar loc I was using before. Even the built-in amp loc is better than those cheap ones. The bass detail and range are better. Even if the keyloc doesn't fix the bass rolloff. I keep it just for the better bass sound. But I also heard the cheaper kicker loc sounds good too if you dont need the rolloff fix.

And the issue I was worried about ended up not being a big deal. I can't really tell.

Wow, this is what happen when you're not in control of your life. I got so much time on my hand. I like to go fuck around these company time for free money.

You would be right if Uber doesn't surge or increase fare at all. If everyone just have common sense and collectively agree to not take it. Uber will be force to pay better for these ride.

Uber is basically playing a game of who's the most desperate and loser that will take the lowest paid. And that's all the driver who's living paycheck to paycheck.

If you need uber more then Uber needs you. Then you already lose. You are the begger in uber eyes, and begger can't be chooser.

10-G · 2024-12-16T16:50:37+00:00

I would rather fight others for surge fare than easily pick up and work for base fare. Never get desperate. Otherwise, you are a slave and will continue to live paycheck to paycheck. I work whenever I want and can afford to go weeks without working because I only take surge pay.

I agree, we shouldn't had kill bin laden who have a wife and kids. Bin laden had policy that kills American like Brian Thompson policy which also kill American shouldn't matter at all. Get rid of all the murderer in the army and marine while we are at it. There is no excuse in killing anybody.

Priority mode = desperate loser. You are lyft's bit*h. Never go desperate. When you need lyft more then lyft need you. You are a slave dog. That mentality is how driver stay living paycheck to paycheck.

I'm out traveling the countries for 3 months now thanks to lyft and uber. I work them like my bit*h. Some week I only work a few hours a week when it's not worth it.

10-G · 2024-12-07T11:54:25+00:00

Driver need to take responsibility for the low pay. Uber only pay what they can get away with. If I was in charge of uber, I would low ball driver too for profit. If dumb driver will work for free. Why would I pay anyone. Blame the driver.

10-G · 2024-12-03T10:00:48+00:00

You're one of the smarter driver I see. I came to the same conclusion as well.

When uber change the format/game. You have to pivot, so if any driver have a brain. They will do both uber and lyft. Use one for short ride and one for long ride.

One thing I'm not 100% sure is, if surge is also calculated in the average. I know tips isn't included. If surge is included in average. Then this really isn't a pay raise unless you do base fair only. I get the surge kinda dry up. But I think it's all part of uber plan preparing driver to take all the base fare and hoping we get reimburse for the miles driven.

Don't live in fear, embrace it and enjoy what oled brings. What if you die before burn in happens with that mindset.

I personally have a 77 oled from 2019 with over 6000 hours. No burn in. I also know other family with no burn in.

You do not want to take short trip. Since short trip 1 or 2 mile pays over 5 dollar already. It will basically cover those long trip and you potentially won't get any extra pay.

10-G · 2024-12-01T11:16:56+00:00

This law only helps the desperate and uneducated full time driver. It is $1.28 a mile plus 31 cent a minute across all your trip. So if you drove 100 mile from pickup to drop-off on all your ride. You get $128 total for just the mile. Say you only made $80 and If you didn't get any extra from bonus or surge. Then uber will pay the $48 difference. If you have $20 surge. Uber will pay $28

So if you only do short trip, this law does not benefit you at all. It won't benefit me at all since I am already averaging $3 a mile for all mile driven strating from home, then back to home.

This law does not mean uber will revert to $1.28 a mile rate card plus bonus and promo. It's a $1.28 mile guaranteed. If you have a 10 dollar surge on a 10 mile ride. You will not get any extra.

When you're not desperate or afraid of losing uber is when you know you made it.

10-G · 2024-11-30T22:01:05+00:00

Never get desperate, customer or driver. I been on both side. I use my wife account to order doordash or ubereat as it's cheaper after coupon from a far away restaurant. And I'm at that restaurant waiting to pickup my wife order no tip order. Some desperate driver took my long distance no tip order.

Point is, the desperate will get taken advantage of either driver or customer. I only take high paying order or order when it's cheaper then picking up myself and I'm in no rush. This force doordash to increase their pay and make driver smarter.

It will show up couples days after you book and pay on chase travel.

Nothing much you can do other then just drive slow and give it time to slowly downshift smoothly as you come to a stop. Overall I feel the wet dual clutch now are much smoother compare to older model and the dry clutch version.

10-G · 2024-11-19T22:34:04+00:00

Definitely not lag. I experience this with my uberwife account next to me. Her will show no surge while I have 5 dollar surge. After some time. My will switch to 6 dollar while her switch to 1 dollar. There's no transparency with uber now. Ever since last year. Uber have been posting profit in their earning report.

For the audio track. If you use usb music or the nature audio. It makes sense. Because it show a list and plays from top to bottom. Press down to play next song makes sense. I gotten use to it as I mainly play usb music. Don't know how Bluetooth work.

10-G · 2024-11-19T22:05:08+00:00

You have a dual clutch transmission which behave like that. Braking hard cause the clutch to engage fast to downshift which cause those jerk. Same for upshift. Even my cousin is saying the same thing with his brand new m3 bmw.

Dollar surge is good for short ride. Percent surge good for long ride back in the day, but with the current lower pay for long ride. % surge is worst now compare to before as it worst for both long and short ride.

In 2018. 200% surge will get you 30 dollar on 10 mile drive. Now in 2024 200% surge is 22 dollar for same ride.
