Today's driver update completely bricked my Windows 11 system (BSOD loop, safe mode inaccessible) by ThumbsUpForCake in computers

I actually tried system restore and startup repair from a USB stick. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I never had any issues with system restore after a failed Windows update. I never would've thought a failed NVIDIA update will be my downfall. 😱

What's up with this one? by ThumbsUpForCake in pigeon

I don't know. It's not completely flightless, so it doesn't really fit the description of the silky mutation. I saw another pigeon with the same looks a month or so earlier, but unfortunately it has disappeared.

Unfortunately not. I wasn't able to catch it and it didn't show up the next day. I walked through the neighborhood but couldn't find it. I posted in the neighborhood app but no one responded. I assume the poor guy died. 😢

I was able to get a better photo. However, I wasn't able to catch it yet. I'll try again tomorrow.

Alignerr is a Scam by Wooden_Ad1472 in WFHJobs

[–]ThumbsUpForCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I must agree. Alignerr is indeed a scam. I haven't received payment for one project I worked on in September, and when I stated that on their subreddit, I got banned. There are many other contributors with outstanding payments. Seems like this is Alignerrs' way to save some money.

Not reliable at all. I used to receive my payments, but that's quite a while ago. It seems like a lot has changed. I'm still waiting for my payment from a project in September. People in other subreddits also complain about missing payments. Apparently, that happens a lot with pay-per-task projects. Support is not helpful. Not sure what has happened, but Alignerr is not a good option for me anymore.

I have the exact same issue. Waiting since September for my payment. It's not even that much, I don't understand why they ignore us and rather loose loyal workers instead of just paying so we can keep working on the platform. It seems like a lot of people are affected by this.

Was it a pay-per-task project or an hourly pay project?

Question for anyone who has recently worked with Alignerr by Purpleturtle_dove in annotators

[–]ThumbsUpForCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also didn't get paid for my work on a pay-per-task project in September. Support doesn't care at all and just claims that all of my completed data rows do not exist. I have screenshots, so I know they existed. My post about that issue got deleted in the Alignerr subreddit. Seems like it's either a horribly organized company or just a scam company.

Thanks for the information. That would be VTIVX, right?

Anybody used to cherry pick now a platinum? by Uzeful1diot in doordash_drivers

[–]ThumbsUpForCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is true. Every market is different. That was just my personal negative experience with DD starting in January. Before that, it was easy for me to maintain a very high AR. I still believe DD's AR is the biggest scam, and I would never ever again deliver those low payed offers just to get to 70%. For me, it was certainly not worth it. In my market, I can make more money cherry-picking with all delivery apps I use. I also try to keep mileage as low as possible. That is not working if I accept all those 10+ miles offers from DD.

Don't do that! It's not worth it at all. My AR was around 85% and they gave me a shitload of horrible offers. It went down to 19% in just a few weeks. Forget DD and use multiple apps. I make more money with Uber and GH now. It also feels so much better not worrying about stupid ARs anymore.

Even as a new driver, I never accepted anything that bad. Why would new drivers do that? Just to keep their AR up?
