A firmware update from Echelon last month made it so that bike owners could no longer ride offline or use third-party apps. We just paid out a $20,000 bounty to a developer who fixed that "bug." The worst part: it's illegal to make the fix public. 404media.co/developer-unlo…
Enshittification starts in the home! @kevin_oreilly7 has the crowd booing an ebike firmware update that disabled offline riding.
It's time to bring ownership back.
Y'all, I still use Quickbooks 2009 because it would cost me over $500 per month to do my bookkeeping if I got Quickbooks Online. I hate that you don't buy a product and have own/have access to it...everything is a subscription and in turn you have to pay it forever!

We share this analysis. @kevin_oreilly7 examined both tools carefully and published the differences in this report -- one clearly won't do all the repairs you might need: pirg.org/edfund/resourc…

Two and a half years ago, PIRG joined 11 farm, pro-repair groups in FTC complaint against John Deere for the way that company restricts repair. Today, @Bloomberg is reporting that court documents reveal the FTC is actively investigating those issues. bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/comm…
