This is a nice win for self-repair hardware rights.

Why would you buy an ice cream machine from McDonalds? They have bland food and cut cola with hygiene problems in their ice machines.
you cant sell/buy a tool but i wonder if you can hire a contractor to build you one.
That’s great, but I’m sure Taylor (ice cream machine manufacturer) will still void your warranty, and McDonald’s corporate will still tell you you’re required to have Taylor service it. There were blackboxed control bypass devices for these machines that let them run longer and self-clean better, but McDonald’s sent out a memo requiring all franchisees to remove them and only allow Taylor to work on those machines.
While there is feel good framing, write ups like this just reinforce what a dystopian hell hole we live in. It is depressing.
You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.
“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the merely good” is one (imo important) way to state it.
as long as we are walking forwards, and not backwards or sideways, we can go one step at a time and we will be closer to something better.
Plus it’s still an improvement over the alternative.
Sweet! Sub par soft-serve for everyone!
It’s not even cheap anymore :(
Maybe not now since we can hack it
Thumbnail isn’t even a Mcds unit.
Well they weren’t allowed to before
World on fire and there are people worried about repairing ice cream machines of an evil corporation and consider it a “victory”. Depressing
Theres quite a lot of humans on this planet. collectively we are capable of performing more than a single task y’know.
I’m not a climate scientist, but i am a programmer. i’d be much more useful on this sort of thing than trying to program my way out of climate change
The right to repair in general is pretty significant.
