If they did not steal the grain, they would have destroyed it by dumping it into the sea. If they had not stolen the equipment I am sure they would have destroyed them where they sat. It pretty much does not matter what country you go to, someone always finds a way to give the farmers the pitchfork in the behind because control of the food is the ultimate avenue to power. For an organized gang these would be perfect items to send to China to be reversed engineered and then cloned and sold into Indonesia and that 3rd world area where copyright and trademark protections are not a high priority for governments. I do not think they will be worrying too much about the EPA rules with the DRM issues or catalytic converters. No worries though for Russia, I am sure they will drop a Chinese diesel engine in and replace any fancy joystick equipment with skid steer spool valves. I avoid chippers with DRM and custom one off electronics that can only be sourced from the OEM, which is even worse then JD because chipper OEMs go out of business on a regular basis or are bought out and many of the “safety” features are run by electronics and will totally disable the equipment if they fail. Yes, I do own some JD stuff, mostly tubes of JD green grease that I bought at a farm auction while buying other equipment. This is why for any vehicles I rely on for SHTF moments or business, I try keeping it pre-OBD-II (1995 and under) ![]() This is exactly why I would avoid buying anything new from John Deere or any OEM like them that uses DRM as a weapon. no memory allocation/deallocation in ‘flight’. IMHO car computers should comply with appropriate parts of the FAA rules. Score was almost 1000, for Toyota’s monolithic main loop function.) Functions scored unmaintainable by a metric who’s name escapes me (IIRC 1 point for each flow control statement, scores over 20 were called ‘unmaintainable function’. (It did overflow, recursive functions were used, incompetently.) No protected memory. Stack overflowed (unchecked) onto Kernel memory space, right onto the process table. ![]() Stack and heap at the same end of memory, just to start. Like the code was written by 14 year old incompetents. Those bozos aren’t qualified to write ECU firmware.ĭon’t ever look up what they found inside Toyota ECUs. It was the OEMs that did things like override your throttle inputs until they think your tires are pointed straight enough. I’ve got little tolerance for ‘ricers’ (because they don’t know how to properly supe up a car, just glue on sparkly junk). ![]() I’ve done worse.īut you have to drive a popular model, which you should be doing if planning on keeping the car for a long time. ![]() Put the stock one back in for smog checks, along with the stock exhaust. Posted in News, Security Hacks, Transportation Hacks Tagged john deere, right to repair, tractor Post navigation Perhaps they would be better remembering that Russia has legendary tractors of its own. It’s reported that the looters are seeking the help of tractor hackers, which may be unfortunate for them since the world’s go-to source for hacked Deere software is Ukraine. Recently we covered a look at how the relationship between motor vehicle owner and manufacturer is changing from one of product ownership to software licence, and this is evidently an example of the same thing in the world of machinery. It makes for a good news story showing the Ukranians getting one over on the looters, and since on-farm thefts are a hot topic anywhere in the world it’s not entirely unexpected that Deere would have incorporated a kill-switch in their products. The perfect crime perhaps, save for the Deere computer system being used to remotely disable them leaving the crooks with combine harvesters they can’t even start. A Deere dealership in Melitopol, Ukraine, was looted by invading Russian forces, who took away an estimated $5m worth of farm machinery. It’s enough to make any farmer see red, but there’s a story from CNN which shows another side to manufacturer control. The American farm machinery manufacturer John Deere whose instantly recognisable green and yellow tractors have reliably tilled the soil for over a century, have become the poster child for inappropriate use of DRM. Over many years now we’ve covered right-to-repair stories, and among them has been a constant bête noire. ![]()
