    firmware in tractors.
    modern tractors are hubs of industrial systems of modern engineering for today’s large scale full-time farmers. so firmware is part of the on-board hydraulic & compressed air (umatic air systems). as agriculture can be time critical & cost sensitive. if you have just 48 hr window in the weather to get a job completed, costly downtime delays can be frustrating. so a firmware mod can save both time & money, particularly if the tractor manufacturer is using firmware to add cost & more delay for the end user.

    you must see middle earth when in New Zealand 🙂

    Warning about The Drop Bear, Thylarctos plummetus when in Australia.
    also a Warning about large jumping rats that can fight on two legs.

    -never say,,, I will be rooting for you or the team. in Australia a root = is to get laid or have sex.

    -as for Shouting as long as you have the money for everybody in the room.
    or too drunk to know you just got everybody else at the Bar a drunk at your own expense.

    making money is never easy, …otherwise counterfeiting banknotes would be legal.
    many of us have the same problem.

    Don’t be scared by math, it takes some time to digest but it’s 100% worth it, even for engineers

    Also, do a live stream marathon on youtube when you meet Dave in Australia, my only complain about the amp hour is that 1h a week is not enough!
    Keep up with the good work
