Good to see this story blowing up. I have to take a train tomorrow and it might be one of those that got enshittified. https://www.metafilter.com/201650/Manufacturers-secret-code-caused-trains-to-lock-up-on-purpose
Halo, halo! Czy ktoś ma pojęcie o amatorskich sposobach na energię z własnego wiatraka? U nas jest mało słońca (nasza instalacja solarna zimą słabo ogrzewa wodę - przez jakieś 3/4 zimy nie daje nic), ale za to nieźle u nas wieje. Stąd też pomysł, aby generować energię na własne potrzeby z wiatru. Czy ktoś się na tym choć trochę zna? może coś poradzić? wskazać przydatne linki?

Apparently a Polish producer of passenger trains, Newag, added some interesting stuff to the trains' software which made it impossible to start them after servicing by anyone other than the producer. Compared to them, John Deere are amateurs. So far the writeup is in Polish, but I guess this one will blow up quickly.

Link is in Polish:
I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.
We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parti

@neil I also feel there is a big problem with people scammed by doing (or trying to do) something they feel embarrassed about. The scams will happen and won’t be reported.
