iFixit takes aim at the John-Deere-for-frozen-milk situation
Having won victories for iPhone and tractor owners alike, the right-to-repair crusaders at iFixit are turning to the really important stuff as summer enters its last death throes – ice cream.
Leading on the worrying statistic that 10 percent of McDonald's ice cream machines are broken at any given moment, the-for-frozen-milk situation, iFixit says commercial ice cream machines are often only really"broken" because a bunch of software locks say so. In reality, what might be a simple fix is obfuscated behind"passwords and cryptic error messages," and control of these is what forms the bulk of the manufacturer's revenues through pricey callouts.
Yes, the broken McDonald's ice cream machine is only iFixit's clickbaity inroad – the activists envision a world where the owners of all commercial industrial machinery are allowed to fix their equipment themselves without the threat of being sued. How dare they be so reasonable.
