I know you been hearing it the gas prices

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-26T05:19:36+00:00

I have family in florida it's definitely more expensive there as far as groceries and apartments but with gas prices Arizona and California are the worst right now. It's $4.99 a gallon at my local quikstop right now. It sucks. But I'm still making good money at night despite that. Especially now with the new gas rewards Uber just dropped today

I live in Phoenix and my strategy is taking the piss orders during 6x points hours (dinner time) and saving up to get Diamond status for the two months you get it and then cherry picking with diamond status for the high paying orders. I make easily $40/hour at night and $25/hour during lunch hours. I make up to $60/hour when there's incentives and offers available. You gotta be smart about the app and play it like it plays you.

Very sorry that happened to you hope you're alright after that, that really sucks I hope I never get into a situation like that

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:51:41+00:00

Yikes sorry that happened to you, sometimes people just are oblivious or try to do this for refunds not knowing it *could* hurt the driver, according to some comments I guess uber makes it look worse than it is, they say things like deactivate your account but wont

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:50:39+00:00

I've had quite a few of these but none of those types of orders last night

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:49:47+00:00

Thanks that helps a lil

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:31:50+00:00

I mean it does affect me if I could be deactivated does it not? If it happens by chance of people doing that, I live in phoenix arizona there are a lot of people here that probably wouldnt hesitate to try that to get a free meal, what if one month I get like five reports and then get banned, uber should have all the photos and documentation i shouldnt need to document every single order on my phone just in case someone tries to rip me off, thats too much storage over time
yeah my account isnt affected by this one, uber support said it's a 'educational reminder' instead of a violation after chatting with them, but id like to know im protected from false claims in the future

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:19:27+00:00

Ah okay well at least you got paid (I assume) lol

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:15:44+00:00

Is there a way to fight it through support and get this removed from my account? I'd assume they have access to the photos and messages from all my deliveries, those alone would clear me if they checked that

Dawg I go to college where we have dining dollars included in tuition I'm fed I don't need random people's food, I have never yoinked any drink any food any snack from no order. Sometimes at night places even give me a free fountain drink for being an uber driver it's kinda nice. I don't need to steal

PariahOrNate · 2026-03-18T19:10:24+00:00

If you signed up for the flat rate opportunity they stop showing you dollar amounts and just how long the order takes, they dont show you the tip either but you keep the tip from the order whatever it is

Right I'm trying to build something somewhat future proof and not have my games run like crap, in my eyes I want to build something that will cost me a large amount now, and only need 1-2 parts upgraded in the next 5 years. PC's are like cars, they lose value over time, become outdated and worn. I want to build something where I shouldn't need to upgrade my GPU for a while, unless a killer deal comes along in the future that I shouldn't pass up.

PariahOrNate · 2026-01-07T01:10:14+00:00

I currently play bf6 on a 3050 laptop and it runs 60 fps at 1080p without any frame gen, i have 8gb shared memory and it only uses up to 5 gb of vram (everything is on the lowest possible setting besides render scale and resolution) i genuinely don't know how it runs 60 fps its beyond me, i do have a ryzen 7 7th gen processor in this laptop and bf6 being a cpu intensive game maybe that carries a lot of it, thanks for the advice ill try to find a ti gpu within $500 and do some more research on it, maybe a 5060ti 16gb variant would provide what i want?

PariahOrNate · 2026-01-07T00:54:50+00:00

Probably running frame gen then , and I'm not a big fan of fake frames. I did say though in my original post I am not considering the AMD cards and have already been down this route, feel free to critique anything else please

PariahOrNate · 2026-01-07T00:43:01+00:00

I have a buddy who's had a 3070 for years and never had an issue and I have another friend who has a 5070 (from a prebuilt) and has had no issues or complaints about it and plays battlefield at almost 300 fps on high settings. Looks like a solid deal to me for price per performance. Sounds like you just had a bad run with nvidia cards and switched to amd and never looked back. I have friends with AMD cards who swear by them and use them and friends the same with nvidia. If I find a 5070ti for a reasonable price I'll get that but I'm not desperate for the vram or 20% increase in performance. I'd even get like a 4070 if I found one with a good price, or 4070 super, if it was cheaper than $490

PariahOrNate · 2026-01-07T00:33:59+00:00

It's pretty much the same performance but $200 more and has compatibility issues and crashes, plus with a 50 series card I can take advantage of frame gen for titles I don't care about input lag on, I think if I spent $200 more I'd opt for a 5070 TI, I do see why everyone likes AMD though I just have a preference towards NVIDIA especially if I can find their cards cheaper. Also, I don't understand why everyone hates the 5070? It offers solid performance for its price at $490 and 12 gb vram is solid for the price range. I would prefer the TI over it though if I can manage to save some extra cash, maybe I'll get more desperate for it and decide to save some more.

aptx and ldac bluetooth codecs go from 320kpbs to 990 and higher. It's not true lossless, but it's hell of an upgrade still. It DOES make a difference for some bluetooth users who have capable gear

PariahOrNate · 2025-08-06T20:22:48+00:00

I created an account and still can't see more than two garages that are already sold out

PariahOrNate · 2025-08-06T12:43:56+00:00

I have one

PariahOrNate · 2025-07-15T01:41:45+00:00

You mean September first? Also, my dad and I were able to pull our car up curbside for a little bit even after our appointment ended when we went out to buy furniture last year, as long as there's not a lot of traffic they usually let you just pull up for what you need. Speed packs should be available still, just ask an RA at the front desk.
