We need a campaign against John Deere's bullshit. i don't see how software like that is even legal. imagine if car companies tried that shit and made it so no one could get any work done on their cars except at the dealership. you go, farmers. fight that shit. Well...if you want to be able to program, reflash or update the 3 or 4 most important modules in a car as a non dealership auto mechanic you have to first buy extremely expensive automotive specific computers and then pay an expensive subscription to each automotive manufacturer you wish to be able to program, reflash or update so its not much different. Not quite, but close. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:895314111] in Farmers ha...
