Nebraska farmers vote overwhelmingly for Right to Repair
Honest question: what would be the rationale to prevent farmers from repairing their machinery themselves instead of through the manufacturer (in this case, Deere)?<p>To my mind, from the point of view of the &quot;user&quot; (i.e. the farmer), that can be seen as somewhat monopolistic.<p>I tried to find similarities between this situation and that of Apple not letting users tamper with their hardware, but it could be argued that the latter makes a bit more sense given that most of their customers, statistically speaking, are not necessarily tech enthusiasts who know their way around hardware, but in the case of a farmer, I&#x27;d imagine most would be perfectly capable of messing around with the internals of a tractor, albeit some software-heavy parts would of course prove almost impossible to &quot;repair&quot;.<p>EDIT: Grammar
