Funny how everything is "just 10 years away".

The problem with your scenario here is that in a lot of cases the farmer can't get the right part at all, and if they don't get that field taken care of by their really expensive machine within the next 3 days they lose the harvest.

Magnuson-Moss exists for a reason, and one of its functions protects manufacturers as they can deny claims if they can establish that duct tape and crazy glue broke the machine.

Deere's actions are to circumvent individuals rights to repair so they can control the repair chain to further pad their profits, nothing more.

No, the problem is Deere is engaging in activities to lock out people's ability to repair their own stuff, then not having the capacity to do it themselves. Circumventing Right to Repair is scummy on its own, but their unwillingness or inability to handle the service load they created has knock-on effects that are incredibly disruptive to food supply. And that's the kind of thing that drives farms out of business and can/does lead to food scarcity issues.

Not a business.

Then the games should be free. No more of this "fee-to-pay" nonsense.

(That we got called out)

Congrats on your mandatory "What was "The Southern Strategy"?" response.

Seriously, you look absolutely ridiculous making a comment like this that shows absolutely no awareness of the aims of political parties before the 60's and a concerted effort by Republicans starting in the 60's to gain and consolidate power by courting racist whites in the south.

Everyone's favorite incompetent grifters have been flooding Facebook with ads for the "new method", because this allows them to cut yet another step out of their bogus revenue stream, and probably because the last grift is hopefully finally dried up.

They're advocating using LLMs to "write" the books too, so you don't have to pay anyone at "all" (except them to "teach" you how to run this garbage scam) and to more effectively just absolutely flood the zone with shit.

A catalytic converter has nothing to do with "knock" (pre-ignition) in an engine, it is an emissions component.

The explanation for this was that they're all clones in the "first" series, but by episode IV, attrition has lead to the need for conscripts that were non-clones. The vast majority of the troops would still be the clones though.

Correct, but misleading. The Federal law is related to the payment of debts, not payment for goods/services. Institutions MUST accept legal tender to discharge legal debts.

No worries, we all get stuff mixed up from time to time.

Which isn't what the BigIP does. F5 is a company, BigIP is a hardware load-balancing and traffic-management system. I've seen 'em, I know what they do.

No, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. The F5 BigIP does load-balancing and traffic management, it's not used for content delivery.

It ran on Solaris, not Linux. It is Windows Server end-to-end now.
