Wife and I bought a Peloton. It works well, we love it. I'm going to cancel the subscription and just use the damn thing without attending the classes etc like an old school stationary bike.
Sucks bc I enjoy a couple of the classes but this is BS
If more people were like you we wouldn't have such shitty companies. They'd still be thirsty for every last penny but they'd know they cannot get away with it.
I think it is the opposite. Because everyone knows they don't need the subscription, right or wrong Peloton needs to make up for subscriptions losses by introducing these one-time fees.
So, you mean the proper response to the failure of a shitty business model is to introduce a worse business model?
Questions: Do you lose any other features besides classes offlining it? Can it run linux?
If you can't answer that last one, no worries I'm sure someone who can answer it will see it, going by lemmy OS use statstics
It's a huge tablet screen, probably running Android or if I had to guess. I haven't bothered trying to look. Joining my friends in classes was fun and the mini social network aspect of it, especially during the lockdowns. But in the end the stationary bike aspect works and I dont have to pay to go to a studio somewhere
Valid point, good on you for upcycling
