What are the implications of right to repair laws and lack thereof. It seems like where I'm at in Chicago everybody uses unions and codes to make sure the people have jobs. Seems like corporations have taken to do it by making vehicles unmaintainable. They knew people would figure out a way by actually buying torx tools and such, but now they're hiding it all behind firmware the artificially lock you out.What are the future political implications of this. Are we all just going to be forced to bring things in to get worked on? Why so much artificial scarcity?
>>540095698without right to repair, physical ownership collapses into corporate feudalism, where you pay full price for the hardware but remain a perpetual tenant to the vendor
>>540095698They can stop me from repairing all they want, I can MAKE anything I want from scratch since I have CAD skills, machining experience, and a 3D printer. No, they will not be able to take away my 3D printer either, because I made that too plus I'm armed!
Damn it's almost like you could buy a tractor from a different fucking company. But farmers are likely so incredibly fucking retarded and illiterate that they allowed one company to monopoly their entire fucking field like the geniuses they are.
Turns out the only thing you can slap a V8 in is a junkyard shell, tractor technology is beyond comprehension
>>540096482Did you obtain the experience through a job or just on your own cuz I'm kind of interested in it myself. I usually fix my own shit but I've noticed a trend in making things harder to fix.>>540096514I know that I'm not particularly talking about John Deere tractors though, just in general, vehicles, appliances, everything is digitized and locked behind encrypted firmware now and everything is more and more proprietary. It's fucking impossible to fix things anymore.
Bump
>>540096941I went to college for a Manufacturing Technology bachelor's degree, so I guess that means I have 20 of Solidworks experience now. If you want to learn CAD at a hobby level, I'd suggest starting with Fusion 360, and watching some YouTube tutorials on it. Then when you have the basics down, get a 3D printer and just start making stuff for around the house: doorstops, spacers, shims, tool grips, tool holders, simple stuff like that.
>>540095698Just avoid anything made by a corporation, or with a subscription, at this point. The enshitification process will hit it eventually.
>>540100650>>540096482>>540096941Do you guys know the cost for a commercial set up? I guess not for doorknobs but for machinery parts production?
>>540095698Right to repair isn't about preserving jobs, it's about giving the Jewish CEO an extra 6 million dollars for his yearly bonus. Their field service staff is likely now all Jeets anyway.
