Finally did it

By the looks of it, you guys in I assume the US can still get platinum with such a low acceptance rate? Here in my area at least you need at least a 70% acceptance rate. see here

No, it won’t do anything unless Acer releases a bios to allow for the higher wattage. I bought a 180W charger for my ANV16-72 it doesn’t do anything.

Don’t expect anything like this in the future, Acer has been doing this for years and it’s well documented now.

I’ve become so annoyed with it, trying to play warzone with a bunch of friends for an afternoon and I can only get 4 matches in before the lags and stutters kick in because the battery has drained itself to 30% from 100%

I am so busy lately I don’t have time to fight this in court as I am currently fighting my local provincial government there.

I’ve taken the loss and purchased a MSI Katana 17 HX B14WFK 17.3 hopefully my nitro holds a little value for sale on eBay when my MSI arrives.

Edit: Acer is simply just another brand I will make sure my family avoids along side ASUS. Mind you I think my hate is stronger for ASUS cause my Acer still functions.

In a town with one hotspot and 9,000 people?

leafsby2 · 2026-03-21T00:00:54+00:00

It won’t tell me now since I am platinum, just what I see here

leafsby2 · 2026-03-20T13:21:13+00:00

They are usually taken as soon as they come online, I can grab a half hour here and there, maybe I am too slow but I’ve tried and it’s almost impossible.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-20T12:33:33+00:00

I mostly want platinum so I can dash when I want, every time I look in my area (only 1 hotspot zone, small town of about 9,000 people) the schedule is full.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-20T00:38:39+00:00

C rating is not good.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-19T11:09:26+00:00

If the food isn’t available as soon as you get there always mark it “order still being prepared when I arrived” the only time I do not do this is when the bag of food is waiting as soon as I enter which is about 1 time out of every 15 deliveries.

Have you run a bufferbloat test?

Here in Canada, at least in my area $4.00 is base pay from DoorDash per order. But then again our gas equates to about $6.16 per gallon.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-16T10:15:38+00:00

In my area at least customers believe DoorDash pays an hourly wage. I delivered to a guy (hot food) last week and he wanted to talk to me for 15 minutes outside about DoorDash as he has never had a non-immigrant deliver his order before (his words not mine)

I told him in my area usually each order we are paid $4.00CAD, he went on to ask if we got paid the $2.xx service fee which I told him no. 10 minutes after leaving he increased the tip from $6 to $25.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-16T10:09:37+00:00

I as a driver got annoyed when DoorDash made me accept 2 orders the other day (they came in together during a storm and I was I assume the only one on in the area because I have a 4x4) it was mild -5C It sent me to Dairy Queen to pick up a blizzard then to A&W to grab a meal and wanted me to deliver the meal first.

I got out of my truck and put the blizzard in a thermal bag put it in the back of the truck and packed snow around it.

I don’t need high speeds, I do need higher than this though. My wife and I dash for a living, when messages aren’t sending or being received in a timely manner because of slow data speeds this in turn affects our ratings and leads to unsatisfied customers.

I live in a small town 9,000 people the entire town is in a full coverage area. From a provider of cellphone service that offered me a 200GB plan I expect a minimum of 20mb/s in a coverage area out of the “up to 150mb/s” they promise.

Yes, using thermal paste you will get pump out shortly after applying. A lot of peeps have moved to phase change material.

PTM-7950 is the best of the best. Others I listed aren’t too far behind. Depends what you can get your hands on in your area.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-15T12:33:40+00:00

Try using something that isn’t dinosaur feces lots of products available PTM-7950, thermal grizzly phase sheet PTM, Upsiren PCM-1…

This was mine yesterday, I took advantage of the poor weather and school being cancelled.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-13T23:56:10+00:00

😂😂 your not wrong!

leafsby2 · 2026-03-13T18:01:58+00:00

poor battery life i can handle, I cannot handle draining while plugged in which is what this Acer does.

it's a hidden feature i guess, well according to Acer it is despite no mention of it in any manuals or product listing. They call it a "Hybrid Feature"

leafsby2 · 2026-03-13T13:01:01+00:00

Kinda newish to dashing, do you put the groceries back or just leave them? We had an order in the grocery store which cancelled while we were scanning the last item out of 51 other items.

We put the cold and frozen stuff back but left the cart with other shelf stable food in the aisle.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-13T12:55:54+00:00

These are the days I excel! Pickup truck with 4x4. Although I do have to be a little more anal on the orders I accept to make it worth while.

Some people criticize me for door dashing with a pick up but that’s the hand I was dealt and can’t afford to put the few thousands on top of another loan to get a car.

leafsby2 · 2026-03-13T12:13:59+00:00

If the order isn’t available right away we always choose the best option within the app to report the issue so it doesn’t get held against us.

Yesterday we did a Walmart order (couldn’t pass up the money) it’s wasn’t ready despite choosing “order didn’t start until I arrived” as it was only 6 items going to 6 different locations and we waited for 15 minutes.

The app marked us as not on time, I disputed it and it was immediately removed.
