  • In the time it takes for all this to play out, all the farmers could recoup their potential losses and then some by replacing their JD investment with Kubota, who supports independent repair shops.

    Of course, with the debt load most farmers carry, that’s easier said than done.

    If the federal government set up a replacement program though, and shipped all the JD machinery to Ukraine where hackers know how to modify the software, everyone but JD would win.















  • This is why using a local web proxy is a good idea; it can standardize those responses (or randomize them) no matter what you’re actually using.

    Personally, I keep JavaScript disabled by default specifically because of this, and turn on those features per-site. So if a website has a script that requires the accelerometer for what it does, that script gets to use it. Other sites keep asking for it? I suppress the requests on that site and if it fails to operate (throws one of those ad blocker or “you have JS disabled errors), I just stop going to the site.

    I’ve found that with everything disabled by default, browsing the web is generally a pleasant experience… until it isn’t.

    This of course requires using a JS management extension. What I’d really like to see is a browser that defaults to everything disabled, and if a site requests something, have the browser ask for permission to turn on the feature for that particular script, showing the URL for the script and describing what the code does that needs the permission. This seems like an obvious use for locally run AI models.
