Konstantin Chaykin built a watch similar to this called the Levitas, seems really awesome. https://chaykin.ru/en/watches/levitas/

Just tried looking up [name redacted] on linkedin but no profile found. Seems like a troll to me

Article title is a bit misleading IMO, they are offering everyone Tread+ subscription for free (for 3 months) until the software feature is released to non paying members. Agree it's not the best customer experience but it doesn't really "brick" users from using the treadmill although does make it inconvenient for users that need to now sign up for Tread+

It’s not just a bit misleading. It’s completely wrong.

They aren’t taking away the free feature. They’ve disabled it while they make a similar but safer feature available in the free tier and in the meanwhile they are giving people free access to the paid tier.

No one who doesn’t want to pay Peloton the monthly subscription to use it will ever need to do so, and for a few months they will be able to use the premium features for free.

Tread plus subscription will likely require you to give your card details. How many people will remember to switch to free after 3 months ?

Use privacy.com to create a credit card with, say, $1 limit and mark it for closure after one use.

It is not what you (or I) can do avoid this.

The issue is most people will not do any of that, that is what Peleton is counting on by releasing a feature that will otherwise brick the treadmill .

Seems like it's only available in select states though, I dont see an app for WA for example where I'm located.

Not in Australia either.

How did you sign up? It is asking for an invitation code.

NVM it works on browser by not entering a code, does not work when you try that in iOS app

Well why should you be entitled to free data from a private corporation? Just because the exchange is open to the public to purchase on it doesn't mean their data has to be free. (just my 2 cents)

my perspective was if public traded I need to be exposed information as I see fit. In one form or another should they not disclose their details for a buyer or customer who is going to invest (potentially )

Just because something is public doesn't mean you get their services for free.

Because the exchange is not legally obligated to provide the information, and therefore can charge a premium for it.

case I would then make is spotify is selling private art ( music ) from a private seller to public for a fee. it is like you pay for watching a movie from a private distributor. Trade is like I invest money for their business. I need to be informed buyer is what I would say. But then it is not about affordability or about I would be able to make a dent in the market. i will be fine if i can make a dent in my pocket. it is about information and data which like you say investors believe is democratic in nature ( but which it sounds like is not )

Apple is publicly traded but surely you don't expect to get a real-time feed of all their transactions and revenue operations

Mine works fine with it enabled.

This article is just BS if you are blaming RIM on Southern Ontario because it doesn't have any talent you clearly have no idea about it. How can you compare Wisconsin to Ontario that's just stupid.
