Then, when you scan it, and it's expired, (assuming they don't adjust the date down OR up on the QR coode), you get to throw the rest away.
The cloud-linked scanning app will use your GPS location to suggest nearby partner stores where you can buy some fresh milk. Act now for a special offer, save even more when you sign up for a milk subscription. Well select the right plan for you based on how much milk you have used over the last 3 months. Hurry to the store for a limited time offer on the brand of salad dressing that the camera picked up in the last 4 scans. Based on the other barcodes we have seen, we think you'll love these other offers from our selected partners.

Is it out of warranty? If so, I think the dealer has every right to tell a problem customer to get lost. He still had options...he just didn't like them.
Did he? I highly doubt that JD turns off all their DRM when the warranty expires. With the software locks in place, all being out of the warranty period means is that the farmer now pays the authorized dealer whatever price the dealer chooses, instead of JD paying a reduced price.

I don't know why France is complaining. The Pegasus software is only sold to governments on the condition that they will only be surveilling targets of "national security interest". The political plans and strategies of the president of France is unquestionably of national security interest to Morocco.
That's what is so convenient about "national security interest". It can be anything that helps to keep the current administration running, especially if the current administration gets to define what what will keep it running. And no, we don't need to publicly justify how those conclusions were reached since that would jeopardize national security. This sound bad, but we have legal opinions that say it's entirely fine that we don't have to inform the public. Those opinions? Sorry those are classified, you know, national security.

Of course they will. Capcom wouldn't be retarded enough to publicize this anti-feature or disclose it anywhere on the box.

Sure 9/11 had vastly more deaths per hour, except over only couple hours in the year instead of 8760 hours.
