JudasIscariot: Renault Zoe Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Pay Rent For My Battery

adaliabooks: Wow. I knew about renting the batteries (I've always been intrigued by electric cars, but they don't actually work out cheaper than normal ones due to the battery rental costs) but I didn't realise they could just disable your whole car if you stopped paying it :/
That's still nothing compared to the DRM fiasco that occurred with John Deere: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2015/07/01/john-deere-gm-push-back-against-consumer-modifications-of-vehicle-software/id=59014/

tinyE: Shit!

We have a John Deere!

She's a beauty too. Me and the old man were just outside today gettin' her primed for the upcoming winter. Got the snowblower oiled up and the chains on the tires.
How old is it, though?

tinyE: I'm guessing ten years. Last time I checked she didn't have any fancy electronics on it.
Then you probably have nothing to worry about unless they somehow made all the nuts & bolts require special tools that can only be bought from John Deere :P
