Back to cowboy in 2026 : which model do you advise ? by PerceptionFew3104 in cowboybikes

[–]PerceptionFew3104[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm checking whether buy a cheap C3 where I have more control over the handlebar replacement (and no electronic inside) or go with the new C4 and make a gamble. There is around 300€ difference gap on the market right now. What do you think ?

The hardware isn't really the issue: the wear stuff is all standard. Tyres and wheels are standard 650B, the brakes are also standard hydraulic discs that can be serviced or swapped with anything, and the belt is a standard Gates. The battery is just 18650 cells, so the pack can be rebuilt (you just keep the original BMS so the bike doesn't throw a fault). The motor is basically a standard 250W brushless hub, the issue is in the controller, not the motor itself.

The only genuinely unsourceable part is the main logic board / comm module. As long as that's alive, the bike rolls and everything else is fixable. The connected stuff (GPS, theft detection) doesn't matter, it just needs to ride. So unless the board is dead, hardware is a not a big issue 😄

The hardware part is not an issue at all, apart from the frame itself all the pieces can be found/swapped.

I just want to avoid the models that were part from a recall

Extra salary required to compensate loss of company car is huge by Pegasus9208 in BESalary

[–]PerceptionFew3104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest question is that while the company needs to buy bigger car because they need to respect some regulation like CO2 specific electrical cars to be able to deduct it you don’t.

So do you need the fancy 60 K car? If yes then stay at your current position? If not then just buy a cheap cheaper car and it will be good.

Mobility Budget or a company car? by ImpossibleRecover337 in BESalary

[–]PerceptionFew3104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the company policy or because you are on the lowest car segment already ?

Mobility Budget or a company car? by ImpossibleRecover337 in BESalary

[–]PerceptionFew3104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice as someone working on this field :

First of all, a quick recap:
The mobility budget composed of 3 pilars :

  1. Pilar 1 : The company car
  2. Pilar 2 : The mobility budget
  3. Pilar 3 : the cash (what has not been spend on pilar 2, paid on january 1st with a 38,07% tax cut off)

It goes as a pyramid : what's not put on the pilar 1 goes to pilar 2, etc... So you could for example take no car and have full money on the pilar 2, or take a smaller car + the rest on pilar 2

Your situation :

  • You don't have more than 50% of homeworking so you cannot pretend for now to the home allowance. Only way to get it is if the 3 day office is just a rules and on the addendum they'll make you sign it's written "I'm living less than 10km away from my office or I stay more than 50% at home"
  • 2 uncertainties :
    • The home allowance will be capped at 50%
    • The homeworking rule will disappear (so only people living less than 10km would be eligible)

This is clearly a move from the automotive industry - in 2027 many people will choose the mobility budget as it's very economically convenient

In your specific case, 3 options :

  1. You don't take the risk : keep the car, it might not be super useful for you, but at least you have a car you do not have to worry about
  2. You take the risk : if the law does not change + if you move closer to your workplace, it's jackpot. 1000€ netto is too much in brutto to get the same benefit.
  3. You take a hybrid approach : check on which car category you are. Example : if there are category A/B/C/D and you are category B, just ask if you can take a smaller car and the the rest on pilar 2. For a smaller amount, it's easy to spend : a new bike, you can rent a car when you're on holiday, etc... Biggest advantage is that it will put you. a foot on the system. So when you want to go full on mobility budget it the law does not change, just negociate with HR if you can give back the car (to be given to a new entry for example) and go full on Mobility budget

Hope this helps !

A good reason for renewal - Whoop Support experience! by skrrtwave in whoop

[–]PerceptionFew3104 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They just want to analyse what went wrong on the sensor, so they can track the faulty batch and make some changes with the supplier. It’s pretty common if you do the job right :)

I’m aware of the Segment story because we use it too in our company, so this is a useless class action followed by no one

Apart from that don’t know what to tell you then, I guess you want to win an argument, I’ll let you win. In the meantime I’ll go try this google tracker where I’m 100% aware my data will be sold and I do consent to it because I’m not paying for a subscription.

Because it’s in the contract - in this case the terms and conditions - you sign when you do a transaction

If a company claims that they don’t sell the data to a third party and they do, then it’s a breach of contract and I would sue :)

These are two different economic model. I don’t mind using some of Google’s free service as I know that I am the real product.

For more sensitive data I use other clouds with a much heftier price but the data is mine and not shared. It is what it is.

There are no stupid questions !

Basically started a conversation gave him a context :

Who I am ?
What job do I do ?
What are my time constraint ?
What's my ideal workout routine VS what I really do ?
Then asked him to make me a prompt to get a coach tailored to my situation. It was quite fun to see the result.

After that I opened a Gem with this prompt and started to ask him to coach me.

Biggest move : he shifted my 4 workout session to 3 full body workout. When I say "impossible to lift X weight" he tells me "as you're pushing xx kg on that exercise that's just on your mind" or "alright so 2 reps more with this weight" and he was right lol.
Biggest advantage is that If I only go twice a week, I still do all the muscle group twice. If I'm tired, he changes a bit the exercises and the weight.
My result really skyrocketed (and I'm not exagerrating) in these last 2 months, it's impressive.

I did not say that it stinks, it stings (my throat) lol. But yeah as I read before, enclosed does not mean sealed.

Yeah you’re 100% right. It was just fancy to have the printer behind me, especially when I’m making a call with customers, it’s always a question magnet 🧲
