(1/2) Looking for other hashtags about this - apologies for the noise (I'll write some hashtags as hashtags in the hope someone has suggestions). So far I've seen: a lot of posts use #Newag; frequent mentions of #RightToRepair and #DRM. Some have #AntiRepair, #AntiCompetition #Sabotage. One has #IndustrialSabotageInPoland. This has been called #NewagGate and #TrainGate (but these two don't have many posts (yet?)). #Ransomware was used but not #trainsomware (it's a good one, @alsorew!).

Also a dick move to be the #AntiRepair company and sue a #competitior who isn't a total asshole.

@metacurity TBH, this #AntiRepair #malware should be penalized by authorities as the #sabotage if not #terrorism plot against #CriticalInfrastructure (which #Railways & #PublicTransport are!) it really is...

Anything else would be undue leniency towards #Enshittification and tge fact that this literally #bricket #trains!

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue

@goedelchen @jlcrawf @smcl @q3k @BNetzA @EU_Commission or because they are too paranoid or because like with all goverments that can afford it, they have a pool of cars and drivers and those - like any decent-sized taxi service - have their own depots and mechanics onsite as well as spare parts because downtime costs money.

Imagine if #cabs or #ambulances and #FireTrucks were to get the #AntiRepair #malware treatment...

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue

@whitequark yeah, fuck #Shimano for that #AntiRepair bs and I sincerely hope.you can make a better #FLOSS & #FLOSH alternative to it...

@q3k Does any regulator know of this #Sabotage of #CriticalInfrastructure by the #Manufacturer?

I'm shure these trains ain't exclusive to to one country and regulators from @BNetzA and @[email protected] to @EU_Commission will likely be very interested in such deliberate acts of #AntiCompetiton, #AntiRepair and basically attacks on #PublicTransport #infrastructure done by #NEWAG to fleece customers!

I mean, this is next-level assholeism and makes #JohnDeere and #Apple look like #RightToRepair fans.

@primonatura not only is #Apple's claim #misleading at best, but their #AntiRepairDesign is harmful to the envoirment and customers.

In no way can they make a product so #green that it justifies #AntiRepair and preventing people from #UseLonger, #Repair & #Upcyvle before #Recycling.

@EU_Commission must ban this bs right now!

@threetails not really...

EVs are less repair-friendly and #Tesla espechally goes full #Apple-style #AntiRepair.

What EVs do well is Torque: You get basically 100% the torque across the entire rpm range.

I do hope that instead of thicc #BEV|s we'll see smol and cute #PLV's that save on weight and rare metals and increase range with methanol fuelcells.

After all, there is a need to go smaller and more efficient:

@anarresti @Fairphone @frameworkcomputer Bzgl.#hp bin ich nicht gut zu sprechen weil die #FUD mitels 'softem' "#VendorLock" auf #RAM machen:

Wenn das RAM nicht hp-branded ist brickt es #PXE-Boot und automatische Starts und wirft bei JEDEM (!!!) [Re-]Boot ne Bullshit-Fehlermeldung die stets manuell per F1 auf der Gerätetastatur ümnestätigt werden muss.

Ich finde das ne absolute Gängelung und #AntiRepair-Maßnahme welche anders als z.B. Allowlistings für #WLAN & #WWAN keine valide Begründung hat!

@anarresti Gute Frage...

Das Problem ist dass mehr und mehr #AntiRepairDesign normalisiert wird und doe Geräte die ich empfehle - egal ob @Fairphone oder @frameworkcomputer und.selbst (#Vintage-)#ThinkPads - sehr reparabel sind.

Beispielsweise #Tastatur: Was eine einfache 2 Minuten Tätigkeit bei allen besseren Geräten ist...

...ist bei #Apple per #AntiRepair - Design nahezu unmöglich!
