iFixit wants Congress to let it hack McDonald’s ice cream machines::McDonald’s ice cream machines are notorious for breaking all the time, so iFixit wants to help people repair them without the help of the manufacturer.

Its a scam between McDonalds and the manufacturer, why would they let a 3rd party come and ruin their scam.
Well hopefully it won’t be up to McDonald’s.
Let me introduce you to lobbying, and also hiring some lawyers to argue in the company’s favor.
A company like iFixit you mean? Both sides can play that game. I’ll grant you that McDonalds probably have more money to burn on bribes but still.
Based on a quick search, iFixit’s revenue is around 50m a year while McDonald’s is 24 billion. It’s not even comparable lol
