>"John Deere has repeatedly told regulators that farmers can't be trusted to repair their own equipment," writes Wiens. >"This foundational work will pave the path for farmers to retake control of the equipment that they own." >The jailbreak developed by Sickcodes is not remote, but requires physical access to the equipment. Regardless of hacks, however, John Deere is also facing serious government and regulatory pressure. >The European Union announced earlier this year it was establishing a right to repair principle, while some US states have already passed their own right-to-repair laws: the pressure resulted in the company announcing this March that it would widen access to repair tools. >So: this hack runs Doom, and also has potentially enormous consequences for agribusiness: or, at the very least, for farmers who've had enough of John Deere's practices. >Among Sickcodes' many findings were that the control system was sending huge amounts of data back to John Deeere (once he had admin access, the unit tried to send 1.5GB of data), various security backdoors including one enabled through placing an empty text file on the drive, and John Deere's apparent reliance on open source software that may not be being used appropriately under its licensing terms. >Sickcodes says he's working on an easier method for executing the hack, as his demonstration was pretty involved, in order that more farmers can make practical use of this thing. I've dropped him a line with some follow-ups, and will update with any response.
archive.ph FxsIo Is there a single platform left that hasn't run DooM?

What a scummy practice. A lot of Apple products are "oh you can repair it yourself" but then require you to buy expensive, proprietary apple tools to access and remove pieces from their equipment or even hide the parts you need to access in the most asinine places on their laptops

Pretty sure it's just name recognition that keeps them alive at this point

John Deere sellers and repair places are more common everywhere than other places.
Fuck new John Deere though. Farmers in my county still use Allis Chalmers that barely need anything other than tires and fresh gas.
for once I'm actually glad about government intervention. maybe liberalism isn't that good

Did you know for most printers it is cheaper to just buy a completely new printer rather than replace the cheaply made plastic innards once it breaks? What a green future lol,

Interventionism is not bad. The problem is contemporary states are retarded.
it used to be fucking reliable and easy to repair in case it ever got broken. we have a 50+ year old JD tractor still running as good as ever, granted we had to improvise a few parts on it but it works
