and was wondering, does China and Chinese companies see third party repair as:
- An ideological good
- Supporting it as competitive advantage?
- Just "what you do"?
- Something they not got around to restricting yet?
I mean, especially in the global South it feels like it coud be a big competitive advantage. Would losing sales in a growing market change John Deer's behaviour?
Anyone have any links or data?

Saw a Dutch TV item about the concept of "enshittification" from @pluralistic - it is translated quite well.
Triggered me to think of an interesting article by @pkrugman (on his substack) where he generalized the concept to all business. He does disagree with Cory that enshitification ends with death - pointing to Facebook as example.
I think he's right about this being a general problem and his article is worth a read: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the…

Here are some Traditional Pattern Folding Knives made by Case. This is just the tip of the iceberg in traditional folding patterns.

JackGenerally speaking I dont like large folding knives because Id rather just have a fixed blade at some point where their heft and size makes them inconvenient for pocketing.
Somewhere between 3" and 4.25" closed length is the sweet spot. Any smaller and you get into a 3 finger knife and that's sucky.

Eurofins are up at Nova ransomware group, 300gb data exfil claimed.
Eurofins got hit with ransomware in 2019, causing UK court cases to stop cases, as Eurofins process forensic evidence. Eg bbc.com/news/uk-49361260
Police warn of delays to investigations and court cases after the attack led to a backlog of 20,000 samples.By Danny Shaw (BBC News)
Eurofins paid the ransom last time, I wonder if the NCA will be in the room this time when it happens. We’ve got to get out of this cycle.
British police suspended work with Eurofins Scientific after it was hit by a ransomware attack in June.By Danny Shaw (BBC News)
I looked into this a bit more. Eurofins actually paid the multimillion ransom again this time (via a subsidiary, Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics) — however the ransomware group have gone on to leak the data anyway. Nova say Eurofins violated their agreement but haven’t explained how.
Sounds like Forrest just scored...
