When it comes to repair, farmers have always been self reliant. But the modernization of tractors and other farm equipment over the past few decades has left most farmers in the dust thanks to diagnostic software that large manufacturers hold a monopoly over.
Farmers using Eastern European cracking software for their tractors, and MS, Apple, etc. want to stop them.

Sure is better to not jump and do stuff before thinking about it a bit, eh? I have spent more time building junk that way. Gotta be busy, but hadn't thought it out well yet.
Sure is an odd hour you mess with this stuff... before bed, or first thing in the morning? ( for me, before bed... I am really bad about staying awake all night... cuz I'm not sleepy ).

Oh, incidentally, the preferences|comments menu does not show up for me now... did you disable it?

5-11AM generally for coding. That's when the Adderall I take for my ADHD is working best. Deployments we mostly do on weekend evenings/nights because there are less people to annoy with them around then.
