I used to advocate for remarkable. I have one. I got multiple as gifts for people. Now I am a hater. The rug pull that took a $700 one-time-payment device and gated all the features behind a mandatory subscription was a dick move. Please don’t support this company.


Didn’t us people that had it before the switch to subscription got a lifetime one grandfathered in?


Yes. But the move itself is why I hate them. I detest subscriptionware, Especially for features that don’t require any ongoing service from them. They don’t need server side code for any of the features they took away. It is all local on device. This is like BMW charging subscription for seat heat.
