i expect to see widely televised lethal human-human blood sports in my lifetime.

russia has a history of weird game shows. about ten years ago there was one called "intercept" in which the host took the player to a car parked on the street in moscow, called it in stolen, and gave the keys to the player. if he could make it a half hour without being arrested he kept the car. it was fake, though supposedly the beatings the cops delivered were real.

in 2031, in an attempt to control violence among unemployed millenials, the us government legalized no holds barred fighting. starbucks coffee working with the usg established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. the fights' popularity grew with their brutality. soon starbucks discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise. the professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and punchable douchebags in known space selected to fight in a grand tournament

Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware

A license agreement John Deere required farmers to sign in October forbids nearly all repair and modification to farming equipment, and prevents farmers from suing for "crop loss, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use of equipment … arising from the performance or non-performance of any aspect of the software." The agreement applies to anyone who turns the key or otherwise uses a John Deere tractor with embedded software. It means that only John Deere dealerships and "authorized" repair shops can work on newer tractors.

"If a farmer bought the tractor, he should be able to do whatever he wants with it," Kevin Kenney, a farmer and right-to-repair advocate in Nebraska, told me. "You want to replace a transmission and you take it to an independent mechanic—he can put in the new transmission but the tractor can't drive out of the shop. Deere charges $230, plus $130 an hour for a technician to drive out and plug a connector into their USB port to authorize the part."

"What you've got is technicians running around here with cracked Ukrainian John Deere software that they bought off the black market," he added.

Tractors are pretty advanced nowadays. Many can practically work on the field by themselves, do fancy poo poo like only apply fertilizer where it's actually needed on the field, based on information recorded earlier with a drone etc. The driver's only there in case stuff goes wrong.

tbh tho gently caress farmers. they get enough government handouts. if they don't want to work within their industry to fix their problem they should go do something else and stop draining tax payer resources.

i think its stupid that farmers doing stupid poo poo to their tractors is more important than 30 years of bmw having their own stupid proprietary thing that resets your oil change meter. what exactly are these farmers repairing on their year old tractors? if this forces right to repair across everything that has a computer in it then thats good though

you can reset the oil change indicator in bmws by holding the trip odometer button while you turn the key on and then wait until it says 'reset'
