Les agriculteurs ont gagné leur combat contre John Deere en ce qui concerne le droit à la réparation. L'accord prévoit que Deere s'engage à fournir pendant dix ans "les outils numériques nécessaires à l'entretien, au diagnostic et à la réparation" des tracteurs, moissonneuses-batteuses et autres machines.

This is indeed an abomination in not just terms of the globally environmental scale of such waste, but also an economic disaster of a magnitude that is massive.

400 million Linux and BSD machines available for $20 - $40 each, or perhaps through volunteer programs to provide free computers to those in need.

It is antithetical to the planned software obsolescence model Microsoft has embraced, a paradigm learned from that of Apple with their program of planned hardware obsolescence.

I just posted on how communities unwittingly banded together in standardizing software in the business marketplace through the act of personal software piracy, and how there's little point to willingly submit to subjugation by the proprietary, closed source software publisher market when there's virtually nothing one cannot do just as well, if not better, with #FOSS.

That is how we FIX a broken software model. The way we FIX a broken hardware model is through the legislation of strict and powerful Right to Repair laws.

I'm not sure how prevalent such laws are throughout the world or the jurisdictions they extend these common sense options to the consumer, but even considering that many folks won't actually fix their own equipment, many will, and further, small independant (and unaffiliated) shops unencumbered with official, expensive certifications will spring up to service their local communities. We have some pretty strong #Right_to_Repair laws in California and Oregon, markets that have opened up the rest of the nation with those same opportunities through the requirements they bring (long-term parts availability, etc.).

Buying a new #fridge makes no sense to me, but I can't even find a way to tear it down. What the #zark is this? Isn't the chassis good anymore?
