I didn’t have a problem with it, given the headline I knew it was commentary on a shit show of an interview from someone who should be prepared to answer hard questions and represent a company position to the public. I’m not offended by the

I bought a new treadmill with a 24” screen on it. The screen should have been the red flag I guess. They want $40 a month to use the screen if I want to watch Netflix while I run, or sync my running data to Apple Health. There is no way to
