You think Apple is bad, let me tell you about a company named John Deere.
It's not a competition, they can both be shit.
John Deere sure does hate competition
It's not a counterargument, they can both be inclusive comments.
I went to the John Deere museum in Moline, and they were playing fucking devotional music about their tractors,
For God so loved the world that he gave us his sole-begotten tractor...
🤮🤑
…that we make with proprietary hardware & software that renders your tractor a brick when the electronics break…
Raaaammmmmennnn!!!!!
Don't take the name of the noodly Lord in vain
Oh mate, I'm aware of John Deere and their "but we can't let the farmers repair their own equipment because the environment"
Yes, because independent repair shops are definitely going to sabotage your tractors to make them worse for the environment if you don't step in and stop them!
It's totally not about establishing a monopoloy to force farmers to pay exorbitant repair charges, or face paying for a whole new tractor entirely when you refuse to do repairs. Not at all!
/s in case it wasn't obvious
