    If you are disabling the DPF on your car the EPA cares. There are a lot of things the EPA cares about, but can't enforce. You can't legally modify certain things on your car and drive it around, technically. You are probably one of those idiots who thinks "derp, I can do anything, I bought it!" But no, you can't. You won't get caught though, unless you fail an emissions test. But you are probably in one of those backward states that doesn't even require that.

    Moores law doesn't work that way. The 760 has 3.5B transistors and it is older than the 960. Moores law is dead. We won't see any doubling of transistor count per sq/inch anymore.

    I know what Moores law is. It is dead. The law is double every two years PER SQ/INCH. That hasn't happened. You don't know what you are talking about. I didn't say that was the sole cause of single thread performance not increasing much, but it is a big contributor. There are only a few ways to get better single thread performance and increasing transistor count it is biggest way historically. Idiot.

    Moores law has been dead for quite a while now. Really digital computing is reaching a dead end in itself. If you have noticed, the single thread performance of Intel CPUs is only around 20% of what they were 5 years ago. The days of exponential growth are well over. That is why they have just been adding more cores and cache and trying to improve memory technology. All the low hanging fruit has been picked.

    100% correct. Most of the farmers I know are very wealthy. City people think farmers are dumb hicks, but they don't realize they are making much much more money than they are. They are businessmen first.

    You can query the codes using the standard J1939 bus on Deere. You don't know what you are talking about. You can talk to the EPA about compiling your own ECM. That isn't legal either for your car according to them.

    I'm pretty sure he is talking about real Midwestern style farms for corn, wheat, soybean, etc. Not boutique farms for winery grapes and heirloom tomatoes. That would be hand picked anyway.

    why do people need to ask permission to fix a tractor in the first place?

    1. The EPA makes us do this. We have to encrypt stuff so that you can't easily add a emissions defeat device. If we didn't encrypt it every redneck farmer would be ripping off their DPF and other emissions devices because they didn't understand it. (Just like they did with catalytic converters way back when)

    2. Even if you had the 'source' in front of you it'd still require tens of thousands of dollars in tools chains. I would put money on the fact that the source isn't even in C. Building ECM flashfiles, in some work circles, is up there with voodoo. These aren't your grandpas ECMs there isn't a "Tractor_ECM.c" file that you can make some changes to and recompile with GCC. As far as I know there isn't an OSS compiler available for embedded PPC and certainly not one available for eTPU functionality.

    If you want to modify your tractor or car to do your bidding you're better off making your own fully open ECM from scratch.

    Slime keep trying to steal my privacy in exchange for nothing. They abuse the phone number and have no business asking for it. If they want my phone so badly, then PAY every time you call me. After all, I never want you to call me, so why shouldn't you pay to talk to me?
