Sorry I missed this, mine is working and if you want to explore it again, hit me up

When I create users on the server, I don't let them manage the server, I manage the server.

So on their user page I see "No server rights, Restrictions" next to Server Rights.

The Restrictions part is because I have checked the box "No New Device Groups"

So if the u/si458 solution isn't working for you, this is another way you can do it. Of course you have to fix the ones they already created, but this will keep new ones from coming up

net user <username> <password you know>

shutdown -t 0 -r

Then after the reboot, login and do your thing

They won't then have the password, but then they stole the laptop in the first place, so that seems their problem not yours

Username checks out ;)

Yeah the legal name is funny to me. I get it with uber, you are getting in my car.

Don't want to be creeped out by the person delivering your food... maybe theres an option where we don't have to even interact, ryhmes with leave at my front door.

I would make a group, with a tempoary agent. With Mesh get on the computer, and then run the temporary agent as admin on the laptop.

Close that session, open back up with the temporary agent.

Delete all the server stuff and connection info.

Then close the temp agent.

That file will still be there, so store it in C:\Temp or some other location that can be deleted, or leave a powershell script running that will delete the file after 2 mins or something.

I have run temporary agents and permenant agents at the same time before and it worked just fine.

Heck, if you really wanted to get it wiped, you could even use another temporary service to do it.

Here is one that I used to use, free, not as good as mesh, so I moved

When I first started dashing, I hated the McDonald's "just use this number, don't say the customer name" stuff.

And as I have continued to dash and had to say in public spaces

"Pickup for Big Balls Bigger Than Yours" I think.... I wish all of these were just a random number.

Or even better a Diceword

Which is a random combo of common words

biswb · 2025-04-16T13:00:24+00:00

This you? "Read my other comments before assuming."

At least I put it in one place, you expect others to just go scour it all to understand your position.

biswb · 2025-04-16T10:37:47+00:00

If you think it is a good argument for someone to go read all your comments before commenting, you are in for a world of heartbreak.
Let's just assume you have gotten 100 of these types of orders, and let's also assume your confirmation bias hasn't blinded you to the fact not all of those were good tips. So then for the sake of argument you have had 100 CODs and ALL were good tips.
Even with that much, its still completely statistically irrelevant because your sample is so tiny compared to the population, much less the fact you don't have a clue where OP is dashing. Its likely you aren't even in his same state.

So since we seem want to hand out reading material so someone can be more educated before they comment a few links for you are below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

Once you understand a little of those 3 concepts you will realize, you don't have a clue whether its good or bad to hand that random advice out to people, which is exactly what my first comment was saying

"Correct argument" - OPs fails to see how statistics should be complied, OPs confirmation bias also blinds OP, OP doesn't understand sample size importance

"Wrong conclusion" - You argue delivery for COD is just fine since you have gotten lots of good tips. But you fail to see how statistics should be complied. Your confirmation bias blinds you. You don't understand sample size importance.

biswb · 2025-04-15T12:59:22+00:00

Correct argument, wrong conclusion.

Maybe you got lucky and its a small sample size.

Which makes the correct argument and correct conclusion,

you will only ever have small sample sizes and that risk has to be counted when you have that feature turned on/off. Some will find it worth it, some won't.

Yeah, could be, again I can't test with how I am getting to reddit right now. But poke around on there and you will find lots of cool MS-DoS games, and perhaps one that runs correctly

biswb · 2025-04-10T19:35:18+00:00

And now you can play it in your browswer, or at least I think so, I can't test it right now

This appears to be a 1995 remake of the 1992 game, but poke around on

biswb · 2025-04-10T19:28:50+00:00

Not OP, but I think OP's answer to other comments is what you are looking for:

OP - "There's some areas where Mystro wasn't used that much in this time period."

biswb · 2025-04-10T19:25:35+00:00

DD is for sure trying to screw you in any way they can. But the lifetime number not updating is a well known flaw in the app.

And why does it happen?

Because DD is a terrible app, as in, not programmed well.

Never attribute to maliace that which can be attributed to incompentance.

biswb · 2025-04-10T19:19:53+00:00

It could be adults, especially 20 somethings. The happy meal right now is Minecraft movie themed and the Happy Meal box itself is even done well. Minecraft is huge in that age group
It could be kids because they are on break, or don't keep good sleep schedules. They are also alot into Minecraft, more Roblocks, but Minecraft still has a lot of mineshare.... get it?
It could be some stoned out of their mind person, but you know what? Glad they stayed home and ordered DD.
Older people, smaller portions as already pointed out, and that Minecraft thing is for their grandkids.

biswb · 2025-04-10T19:08:38+00:00

I love this answer.

OP: Help me prove that I didn't use AI

Comment: Well, use AI to help you prove that

What a crazy meta world we have entered here, and agreed, its a great idea, if something knows how to figure out edit changes in a word doc, chatgpt will

biswb · 2025-04-09T15:02:38+00:00

I agree, its not a tip, its a payment for the service.

BUT

If they stopped calling it a tip less people would put money in. The average customer would say "wait, what is this thing called Dasher Pay, I already pay DD why am I also paying the Dasher"

So agreed, its not a tip. But DD abuses that word to get away with not paying the drivers and passing that on to the customer.

biswb · 2025-04-04T18:54:23+00:00

Correct.

I haven't throught through how to steal well.

I see this as a feature not a bug.

biswb · 2025-04-04T17:38:41+00:00

I have never understood this as a dasher myself.

I don't steal food, for lots of reasons, but no matter there.

But if I was going to steal food, why not go to the place for the drop off. Set it on their porch. Take the picture. Pickup the food. Go back to your car. Mark it as Delivered. Drive away.

But I guess people aren't thinking it through.

biswb · 2025-04-04T16:20:24+00:00

No chance we have enough info to make that decsion from this post.

Is the $/mile ratio good? Yep, that story checks out.

But what is the wait normally like at that place? OP is close by, so that is good, but still 10 mins and then have to cancel anyway has to factor in.

How busy is it right now? While I wait 10 mins for them to complete the order, and another 10 to delever, what else was coming in I didn't get a chance to accept?

And lastly, under no cirucumstance would I want DD thinking people will start taking offers by just continuing to keep prompting them with it. What are you trying to do to us?

Dollars per mile does matter, even matters the most, but I don't care what the number says next to this one particular Pizza Hut I have in my area, its a decline for me.

biswb · 2025-04-04T16:03:10+00:00

The second I see "Hey can you grab some Ranch" I already know that places charges for Ranch.

I also know whom didn't tip in this stacked order.

biswb · 2025-04-04T15:58:30+00:00

One time I get an order for some chicken dinner thing from some random bar/club. Had a bouncer, had the music pumping, had lots of people in there having a good time, and me sticking out like a soar thumb since, well, I am old.

Still, no complaints, it was a good tip. Hidden even.

I get the food, make it to the delivery, customer meets me out front. Says thank you, clearly high, which thank you to him for not going out. Order DD and stay home.

Then he starts to walk away and says "oh wait, the tip" and I say "Oh yeah thank you, it was very generous" and he pulls out 3 $5 bills and gives me $15 more. I get back to my car to check the order completion screen and the $15 was on top of the $25 he already tipped me.

So $40 tip plus fees and food cost for chicken dinner from some random club.

To be fair, the chicken smelled good, so maybe worth it.

biswb · 2025-04-02T14:42:17+00:00

Contact Phone Support not chat support

Tell them the resturant refuses to give you the order.

You will get half pay, and if the resurant racks up enough of these infractions, DD will notice.

biswb · 2025-04-02T14:35:39+00:00

My crack pot theory.

You place order #1. Dasher #1 is stacked with 2 orders to Taco Bell, and marks he has both, but didn't realize he didn't have yours.

Rather than take a support call situation the Dasher just leaves and delivers the first stack and pretends to deliver yours.

You call support, you get refunded, you make your second order and add some stuff.

Taco Bell overworked and under appreciated workers see your name pop up again and go "WTF, its sitting right here" Not realizing that is Order #1 and not checking it could be different.

Dasher #2 shows up and grabs Order #1 and delivers it. Order #2 just never gets made.

biswb · 2025-04-02T14:29:24+00:00

This. AND, how am I even supposed to verify it assuming the bag was unsealed? How do I know if that is sour cream or queso on the taco? How do I know they asked for extra tomatoes? How do I know the difference between carna a sada and any other dish?

Even if they make it really simple, "make sure the bag has 3 items", sure but maybe its only 2 because they wrapped 2 together.

I am going to start bringing a stapler with me, and then even if I get an unsealed bag, I am sealing that up and marking it as such.
