For those not familiar, John Deere did the Keurig 2.0 thing with their tractors. Instead of unofficial coffee pods though, it's every part of a tractor.

They added drm to the pods, so you can only use official ones. People have essentially hacked it at this point, but the anti-consumer goal was the same.

Our glorious share holders would like you to use the terms "rented" and "subscribed".

When do we start being called serfs?

Keurig tried to QR code all of their pods so third party ones wouldn't work. Super simple hacks were quickly released. It was in the name of "consumer safety" or some shit like that.

When this originally happened, some guy 3D printed a plastic cap hack for the machines and was sending them to people for as close to free as he could. (I think it was a clip-on thing for the machine, not for each pod. I tried to look for it again, but it looks like most people preferred the per-pod hacks.)
It was a glorious "fuck you!" to Keurig regardless of how it was hacked.

Coffee from San Francisco Bay coffee (Formerly Rogers Family Coffee) still includes one with every single case of coffee you order..
They (under their former name) called it the Freedom Clip. Not sure that's still what they call it.
