Must be used all around the world. My parents had one on our farm in the 70s. Maybe it is still there- as a "back up" tractor. I remember it well.

I spent the night on Flatéy, a 2km long Icelandic island, in 2024, and there were around a half dozen Massey Fergusons strewn about.

The old church had a mural of Icelandic Jesus wearing a fisherman’s sweater.

[offtopic] Ive always wondered why a conversion has not been offered ( by someone ) for apple phones to make, it so the battery can be replaced by end user? It would be a case modification somehow. Some kind of new "back"

EDN - Voice of the Engineer https://www.edn.com Electronic Design News (EDN) is an electronics community for engineers, by engineers. Find the latest articles, magazines, tools, and blogs in the industry.

I like their tear downs of electronic equipment. https://www.edn.com/category/design/under-the-hood-teardown/...

Sadly Internet archive does not have a complete collection of old EDN magazines ....


RE ".... It's a massive book like magazine....."

NO Internet back then.

People still had a massive thirst for information. Even the ads where interesting and read by many to learn more ....


Resistance to - Using pirated copyright material to train their models ? Is there a authors guild or group running a law suite? Sure to be somewhere , that would welcome financial? support ....

RE "....If you simply disable OneDrive without correctly uninstalling, the system will blast notifications at you with an ominous warning "You could lose data your system isn't backed up!"....."

The implication here is, OneDrive is backup . It is NOT. Moe Microsoft dodgyness ....


My Suspicion - Microsoft would have put lots effort into their cloud storage trickery - it would be an enormous revenue item . ....


I'm surprised their has not been a class action here, about how ( unskilled , mainly ) people are tricked? / Forced ? into using cloud storage.


I'm all for suing MS but you're suggesting suing because of personal ignorance? The forced use of email for setup is probably sue worthy but I'd rather people just stop using MS.


I talk to a lot of users who are not utterly incompetent with computers but really don't want to focus on them any more than they have to. Almost all of them have enabled this kind of thing without understanding it at all because microsoft pops up nags for this kind of thing constantly and specifically designs them so that the easiest way to get them out of the way is to enable whatever thing they want you to enable (at which point, they will never mention it again, precisely the opposite, I would suggest, that you should do when you have fundamentally changed how the user's files are stored, and in stark contrast to if you refuse, which will result in you being nagged again and again).


>but you're suggesting suing because of personal ignorance

Yes, because companies design products with dark patterns to ensnare users, it's not uncommon for people to win these kind of lawsuit.

> I'd rather people just stop using MS.

Ah yes, just like we're all going to stop using Apple and Google too. How about we have organizations that have teeth and protect the consumer
