Peloton cuts hardware prices & hikes subscription fees amid calls for sale to Apple
I think the whole point of these type of subscriptions is that you can get motivated by working out with other people even if it is just remote. Maybe for people who don’t know anyone else personally who they can work out with.sandor said:
Monthly.sagan_student said:Are those yearly or monthly subscription prices?!
The sales pitch is comparing the monthly cost to the monthly membership fee of your gym, personal trainer, etc.
The rub is that for far less equipment cost & no monthly fee you can ride a bike to work everyday

Apple adds 123 new emoji in iOS 15.4 update
How is that incorrect? I didn’t say that they shouldn’t implement them only that their implementations are garish and don’t coincide with their otherwise minimalist design language. Just because you like them doesn’t mean that statement isn’t true.StrangeDays said:
Incorrect. Apple doesn't create the new characters in the unicode emoji character set, it merely implements them. If they were to not implement them, users would get a broken character when another use sends one.mikethemartian said:For a company whose design philosophy is minimalism they create a lot of garish emojis.
As for the artistic merit of the characters themselves, IMO Apple's are among the most pleasant implementations, and likely most iconic.
Not really -- you aren't require to use every character all of the time. You can continue to use only the ones that are of frequent use to you, and others can do the same. It's much like color swatches at the paint store -- every shade is not for everybody. This is also how words work. Use what you like.jimh2 said:We have way too many emoji’s for them to remain useful. Too much of a good idea.
