Not only does playback of these disks on a PC require proprietary software and hardware that enforce AACS, a very nasty DRM, but developers of software players are forbidden from disclosing any source code. The user could also lose the ability to play AACS-restricted disks anytime by attempting to play a new Blu-ray disk. 15 <a href=" https://badcyber.com/dieselgate-but-for-trains-some-heavyweight-hardware-hacking/ ">Newag, a Polish railway manufacturer, puts DRM inside trains to prevent third-party repairs</a>. 19 <a href=" https://web.archive.org/web/20231213150111/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/12/technology/iphone-repair-apple-control.html ">To block non-Apple repairs, Apple encodes the iMonster serial number in the original parts</a>. This is called “parts pairing”. Swapping parts between working iMonsters of the same model causes malfunction or disabling of some functionalities. Part replacement may also trigger persistent alerts, unless it is done by an Apple store. 20 Chamberlain Group <a href=" https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/chamberlain-blocks-smart-garage-door-opener-from-working-with-smart-homes/ ">blocks users from using third-party software</a> with its garage openers. This is an intentional attack on using free software. The official garage opener proprietary mobile app is now also <a href=" https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain ">infested with ads, including up-selling its other services and devices.</a> 21 HP delivers printers with a universal back door, and recently used it to <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/may/10/how-can-hp-block-me-from-using-a-cheaper-printer-cartridge "> sabotage them by remotely installing malware</a>. The malware makes the printer refuse to function with non-HP ink cartrides, and even with old HP cartridges which HP now declares to have “expired.” HP calls the back door “dynamic security,” and has the gall to claim that this “security” protects users from malware. 24 Some Epson printers are programmed to <a href=" https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/22/08/07/0350244/epson-programs-some-printers-to-stop-operating-claiming-danger-of-ink-spills "> stop working after they have printed a predetermined number of pages</a>, on the pretext that ink pads become saturated with ink. This constitutes an unacceptable infringement on users' freedom to use their printers as they wish, and on their <a href=" https://fighttorepair.substack.com/p/citing-danger-of-ink-spills-epson "> right to repair them</a>. 25 The nonfree software in a Tesla artificially <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/30/will-connected-cars-persuade-drivers-to-pay-for-a-high-spec-ride "> limits the car's driving range</a>, demanding ransom to unlock the battery's full charge. 27 ATMs and vending machines in Russia run nonfree software—The machines' owners <a href=" https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/07/01/russian-atms-reject-new-100-ruble-bill-kommersant-a78175 "> cannot fix them</a>. 28 NordicTrack, a company that sells exercise machines with ability to show videos <a href=" https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/11/locked-out-of-god-mode-runners-are-hacking-their-treadmills/ ">limits what people can watch, and recently disabled a feature</a> that was originally functional. This happened through automatic update and probably involved a universal back door. 29 Adobe <a href=" https://web.archive.org/web/20211014123717/https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/13/theres-an-app-for-that/#gnash ">has licensed its Flash Player to China's Zhong Cheng Network</a> who is offering the program bundled with spyware and a back door that can remotely deactivate it. 30 Adobe is responsible for this since they gave Zhong Cheng Network permission to do this. This injustice involves “misuse” of the DMCA, but “proper,” intended use of the DMCA is a much bigger injustice. There is <a href=" /philosophy/right-to-read.html ">a series of errors related to DMCA</a>. 31 A motorcycle company named Klim is selling airbag vests with different payment methods, one of them is through a <a href=" https://www.vice.com/en/article/93yyyd/this-motorcycle-airbag-vest-will-stop-working-if-you-miss-a-payment ">proprietary subscription-based option that will block the vest from inflating if the payments don't go through</a>. 33 Apple has <a href=" https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/ ">implemented a malware in its computers that imposes surveillance</a> on users and reports users' computing to Apple. 35 A new app published by Google <a href=" https://www.xda-developers.com/google-device-lock-controller-banks-payments/ ">lets banks and creditors deactivate people's Android devices</a> if they fail to make payments. If someone's device gets deactivated, it will be limited to basic functionality, such as emergency calling and access to settings. 36 Samsung is forcing its smartphone users in Hong Kong (and Macau) <a href=" https://blog.headuck.com/2020/10/12/samsung-phones-force-mainland-china-dns-service-upon-hong-kong-wifi-users/ ">to use a public DNS in Mainland China</a>, using software update released in September 2020, which causes many unease and privacy concerns. 37 Oculus headsets <a href=" https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/18/21372435/oculus-facebook-login-change-separate-account-support-end-quest-october ">require users to identify themselves to Facebook</a>. This will give Facebook free rein to pervasively snoop on Oculus users. 38 The Focals eyeglass display, with snooping microphone, has been eliminated. Google eliminated it by buying the manufacturer and shutting it down. It also <a href=" https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/canadian-smart-glasses-going-offline-weeks-after-company-bought-by-google-1.5042010 ">shut down the server these devices depend on</a>, which caused the ones already sold to cease to function. 40 The Mellow sous-vide cooker is tethered to a server. The company suddenly <a href=" https://www.slashgear.com/mellow-sous-vide-owners-get-unwelcome-subscription-surprise-28630842/ "> turned this tethering into a subscription</a>, forbidding users from taking advantage of the “advanced features” of the cooker unless they pay a monthly fee. 41 iMonsters and Android phones, when used for work, give employers powerful <a href=" https://www.fastcompany.com/90440073/if-you-use-your-personal-phone-for-work-say-goodbye-to-your-privacy "> snooping and sabotage capabilities</a> if they install their own software on the device. Many employers demand to do this. For the employee, this is simply nonfree software, as fundamentally unjust and as dangerous as any other nonfree software. 42 Adobe has <a href=" https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/adobe-to-ban-users-from-venezuela-due-to-us-executive-order/ "> cancelled the software subscriptions of all users in Venezuela</a>. This demonstrates how a requirement for subscription can be turned into a tool for sabotage. 43 Tesla users claim Tesla <a href=" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-battery/tesla-owner-lawsuit-claims-software-update-fraudulently-cut-battery-capacity-idUSKCN1UY2TW/ ">force-installed software to cut down on battery range</a>, rather than replace the defective batteries. Tesla did this to avoid having to run their warranty. 45 Best Buy made controllable appliances and <a href=" https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/6/20853671/best-buy-connect-insignia-smart-plug-wifi-freezer-mobile-app-shutdown-november-6 "> shut down the service to control them through</a>. 47 When Apple suspects a user of fraud, it judges the case secretly and presents the verdict as a fait accompli. The punishment to a user found guilty <a href=" https://qz.com/1683460/what-happens-to-your-itunes-account-when-apple-says-youve-committed-fraud ">is being cut off for life, which more-or-less cripples the user's Apple devices forever</a>. There is no appeal. 48 Adobe <a href=" https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3xk3p/adobe-tells-users-they-can-get-sued-for-using-old-versions-of-photoshop "> revoked the license of some older versions</a> of its applications, and warned customers that they can get sued for using them. 50 The Jibo robot toys were tethered to the manufacturer's server, and <a href=" https://apnews.com/article/san-francisco-north-america-technology-business-ap-top-news-99c9ec8ebad242ca88178e22c7642648 "> the company made them all cease to work</a> by shutting down that server. 52 Microsoft has been <a href=" https://borncity.com/win/2019/01/17/windows-10-update-kb4023057-re-released-1-16-2019/ "> force-installing a “remediation” program</a> on computers running certain versions of Windows 10. Remediation, in Microsoft's view, means <a href=" https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb4023057-update-health-tools-windows-update-service-components-fccad0ca-dc10-2e46-9ed1-7e392450fb3a "> tampering with users' settings and files</a>, notably to “repair” any components of the updating system that users may have intentionally disabled, and thus regain full power over them. Microsoft repeatedly pushed faulty versions of this program to users' machines, causing numerous problems, some of which <a href=" https://web.archive.org/web/20240223182933/https://www.windowsmode.com/microsoft-suspends-windows-10-october-2018-update-rollout-due-to-critical-bugs/ "> critical</a>. 53 This exemplifies the arrogant and manipulative attitude that proprietary software developers have learned to adopt toward the people they are supposedly serving. Migrate to a <a href=" /distros/free-distros.html ">free operating system</a> if you can! 55 Ebooks “bought” from Microsoft's store check that their DRM is valid by connecting to the store every time their “owner” wants to read them. Microsoft is going to close this store, <a href=" https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47810367 "> bricking all DRM'ed ebooks it has ever “sold”</a>. (The article additionally highlights the pitfalls of DRM.) 57 The British supermarket Tesco sold tablets which were tethered to Tesco's server for reinstalling default settings. Tesco <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/mar/25/tesco-hudl-tablet-support-kill-fix "> turned off the server for old models</a>, so now if you try to reinstall the default settings, it bricks them instead. 58 Twenty nine “beauty camera” apps that used to be on Google Play had one or more malicious functionalities, such as stealing users' photos instead of “beautifying” them, <a href=" https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/02/03/google-bans-29-beauty-camera-apps-from-the-play-store-that-steal-your-photos/ "> pushing unwanted and often malicious ads on users, and redirecting them to phishing sites</a> that stole their credentials. Furthermore, the user interface of most of them was designed to make uninstallation difficult. 60 Foundry's graphics software <a href=" https://torrentfreak.com/software-company-fines-pirates-after-monitoring-their-computers-181102/ "> reports information to identify who is running it</a>. The result is often a legal threat demanding a lot of money. 63 Apple and Samsung deliberately <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/24/apple-samsung-fined-for-slowing-down-phones ">degrade the performance of older phones to force users to buy their newer phones</a>. 64 Printer manufacturers are very innovative—at blocking the use of independent replacement ink cartridges. Their “security upgrades” occasionally impose new forms of cartridge DRM. <a href=" https://www.vice.com/en/article/pa98ab/printer-makers-are-crippling-cheap-ink-cartridges-via-bogus-security-updates "> HP and Epson have done this</a>. 65 The Jawbone fitness tracker was tethered to a proprietary phone app. In 2017, the company shut down and made the app stop working. <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/05/defunct-jawbone-fitness-trackers-kept-selling-after-app-closure-says-which ">All the existing trackers stopped working forever</a>. 67 The game Metal Gear Rising for MacOS was tethered to a server. The company <a href=" https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/400087-metal-gear-rising-mac-unplayable-drm "> shut down the server, and all copies stopped working</a>. 68 Apple has <a href=" https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/31/17412396/telegram-apple-app-store-app-updates-russia ">blocked Telegram from upgrading its app for a month</a>. 70 The Telegram client is free software on other platforms, but not on iThings. Since <a href=" /proprietary/proprietary-jails.html#apple ">they are jails</a>, they don't permit any app to be free software. 71 Logitech will sabotage all Harmony Link household control devices by <a href=" https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/logitech-to-shut-down-service-and-support-for-harmony-link-devices-in-2018/ "> turning off the server through which the products' supposed owners communicate with them</a>. 73 MacOS High Sierra forcibly reformats SSD boot drives, and <a href=" https://www.macworld.com/article/230582/apple-file-system-apfs-faq.html "> changes the file system from HFS+ to APFS</a>, which cannot be accessed from GNU/Linux, Windows or even older versions of MacOS. 74 The Canary home surveillance camera has been sabotaged by its manufacturer, <a href=" https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/4/16426394/canary-smart-home-camera-free-service-update-change "> turning off many features unless the user starts paying for a subscription</a>. 77 Tesla used software to limit customers to using just <a href=" https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/09/tesla-flips-a-switch-to-increase-the-range-of-some-cars-in-florida-to-help-people-evacuate/ ">part of the battery of some cars</a>. 78 Sonos <a href=" https://www.zdnet.com/article/sonos-accept-new-privacy-policy-speakers-cease-to-function/ "> told all its customers, “Agree” to snooping or the product will stop working</a>. <a href=" https://www.consumerreports.org/consumerist/sonos-holds-software-updates-hostage-if-you-dont-sign-new-privacy-agreement/ "> Another article</a> says they won't forcibly change the software, but people won't be able to get any upgrades and eventually it will stop working. 81 Bird and rabbit pets were implemented for Second Life by a company that tethered their food to a server. <a href=" https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/second-life-ozimals-pet-rabbits-dying "> It shut down the server and the pets more or less died</a>. 82 | Microsoft has made Windows 7 and 8 cease to function on certain new | computers, <a | [-href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4012982/discusses-an-issue-in-which-you-receive-a-your-pc-uses-a-processor-tha">effectively-] | {+href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-client/installing-updates-features-roles/processor-not-supported-together-with-windows-version">effectively+} | forcing their owners to switch to Windows 10</a>.
