Nah, fuck those mother fuckers. As a former farmer myself, I can tell you that fixing my own shit was an almost life or death situation. I can’t just leave my crops without my machines more than a day. Shit needs to work right away. I used to grow rice and it needed constant flow of cold river water for 6 months straight up. I had two diesel water pumps on the river, one is running 24/7 and the other is back up in case the other broke. If that shit broke and I waited for a day or two without giving the rice cold water, it all dies. Completely dies
And what’s the alternative? You learn to maintain your own equipment and take operation of your powerful and dangerous tools into your own hands, like you do when operating it? You find a local mechanic, like you would with a car, plane, or boat? You keep using the same equipment without paying the manufacturer more until it deteriorates too much to repair?
That’s insane. There’s not even a subscription involved, it’s deranged. Forget your rice, the shareholders need bigger made up numbers!
you guys keep coming up with new names to explain the effects and natural progression of capitalism. its just regular ol capitalism as its always been.
It’s the legacy that stinky piece of shit Steve Jobs left behind. That, skirting foreign labor laws, treating your own child like shit and stabbing your friends in the back.
Agreed. But other companies like Samsung and Google that dunked on Apple for their shitty practices, then completely adopt them a few generations later are fucking pathetic.
I.e. Apple
That’s the first one that came to mind. They started every shitty trend in the industry
Is John deere exempt?

Yep, according to the article, they have a strong enough
lobbybribe machine to win exemption.I feel like printers started it. Everyone I had used to setup came with some insane cable. Not to mention the actual cartridge
Sounds about right. Man, I really miss the days where shit was so easy to replace. Wtf, capitalism needs to chill a little.
Capitalism != Unbridled_capitalism;

Any …ism devolves if unchecked.
Yeah well let’s start checking it real quick
In any single moment, that’s true, but over time they inevitably become one and the same.
Everything, over time, becomes entropy.
Sure, but stars don’t decay before our eyes.

There are others. Apple wasn’t the first, nor the last, but they were the most notorious for sure.
