This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Corporations would have us all subscribe to the oxygen supply if they could.
Take apart all the things. Reverse engineer their shit. Create open alternatives. Fuck all these monsters. John Deere, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, everybody included.
A canadian startup is already selling canned air.
Folks in places like china are buying it up presumably due to the air pollution they have. This article says they already cleared 300k in sales and are expanding their product lines to offer 'flavoured air'.

To be fair, there is a use for it. If your at high altitudes, it may be needed. Hopefully no one should need it to deal with pollution though.
In this particular case its intended literally as portrayed in the Spaceballs movie which is what makes this whole thing appalling.
But yeah, theres other use cases for bottled air.
Maybe companies that manufacture and sell oxygen tanks can get in on the game by driving out of town 20 miles and bottling that air out there and marketing it as 'Great Outdoors' bottled air

He watched Total Recall and thought "What a great idea!".

“Dammit Cohagen, give these people air!”
My Kubota never had any DRM and after the warranty expired I was able to make a simple free conversion and get the same HP and torque as a three level higher options package.
TIL Kubota is the Brother Printers option for tractors. Good to know!
Are brother printer still good? I thought they started doing the ink DRM thing and other bullshit too.
I have a brother color laser from 2013 that's still printing awesome. toner cartridges are $200 for all 4 colors, but I only replaced them in 2015, 2019, and at the beginning of this summer - getting a few thousand pages out of each, conservatively. it's not a glossy photoprinter, but if you just need high res document prints, I cannot recommend it enough. wifi, cat5, driver is built in to windows 10/11, works fine with android and linux too.
Sorta. My old MFP Brother apparently has a firmware update available that makes it aware of the toner brand and I just ignore it. It's not as bad as HP where a low level of ink turns the machine into a brick.
EAT THE RICH CAPTIALISM SUCKS

They only seem popular on high subsidy farms.
Yeah I don't know how anyone could compel themselves to buy one. Do they really have that much of a monopoly on the industry? Is their tech that much further advanced? I genuinely don't know.
What is the best, more ethical alternative? Growing up my dad had New Holland and we liked them. Eventually I'll be going more rural and choosing a route to take and it sure as shit won't be John Deere.
This is the natural result of what we vote for every two years.
Is it? I don't remember seeing a guy running for Congress that promised he'd prevent huge corporations from running rough shod over everything.
People like saying stuff like "just vote better", but the fact is the vast majority of people that run for any office are pro-big business because that's their background and the lobbyists give them lots of money to get elected. Where's the anti-big business guy going to get his money to run? And without money, you sure aren't winning.
Through lobbying, corporations have us all by the balls. It doesn't matter what side of the isle you're on; both sides have basically been endorsed by big money.

What we need is ranked voting so someone like that might have a chance on the ballot.
The result of vote is only as good at the voting system used and the people voting. A more representative voting system leads to more public representation in government, which would likely improve the lives of the voters who will vote next time.
I remember my grandpa casually telling a story one time when our family went out for pizza. He talked about how all the farm animals in the village and surrounding villages in Mexico suddenly died, and then John Deere came around selling tractors. This would've happened around the late 1950s I think. I have no idea if this is true or not.
Does this dude severely lack sleep or something ? I don't understand why his eyes are like this.
Lol he actually made a video about it once because people kept asking him. He said that he went to a doctor and they said he was just ugly.
I dont watch this guy’s videos that often, but coincidentally I saw that one.
It's not easy being the only man in the world fighting for right-to-repair laws. Every company he exposes, more life is drained from behind his eyes.
Soulless company used life steal.
Joke aside , his work is really impressive but his fight is already lost if most people just consume ( unrelated , fuck printer companies ) and accept their fate. We need aware citizens and there's not many of them. We're kinda doomed.
People accept DRMs and planned obsolescence as if they can't fight them. They don't know their strength and thzt if they decide to boycott these shitty companies they'd die.
Probably been on hold with J-D support for 37 hours.

I’m sure those competitors will successfully sue them for <1% of their yearly profit in damages, plus they’ll suffer a single employee’s salary amount in fines.
Eat the rich.
