The devil is in the details. Farmers may now have the “right” to repair, but remember that it is software we are talking about. Do they have the tools? the access? the data? the source? https://twitter.com/...

This is HUGE. And I hope farmers realize that they have Joe Biden to thank for signing an executive order that led to Deere owners being able to fix their own equipment, instead of waiting weeks for ‘authorized’ parts and service. #MorningJoe https://www.bbc.com/...
