John Deere may be finally coming down off the anti-right-to-repair hill it appeared ready to die on, but that doesn’t mean we can’t mod Doom onto the company’s tractors to prove a point. That’s just what some enterprising developers did to spectacular effect last year. The developers showed off their creation at Defcon, modifying it with a farming-themed Doom mod to seal the deal.
Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems. pic.twitter.com/OLDBckluxr
