The FTC's settlement with John Deere actually has teeth, unlike previous settlements that largely maintained the status quo.

    I have another comment in this thread, but their tractors have a single data port, and I’m pretty sure it’s been the same one for like 20+ years, and universal across all their equipment across the globe.

    Its also not unique to Deere, it’s the same thing used on large Diesel semi-trucks, like Cummins engines.

      Yeah, Idk shit about their tractors, the above was total speculation.

      But it sounds like you’re take is that the rules of the settlement are pretty ironclad and it’d be difficult for Deere to try to skirt the settlement?
