I remember when Motherboard did a piece about this issue they interviewed a farmer. He basically said something along the lines of: > I had no idea how any of this worked but I needed to get my tractor running so I got to Googling and figured it out. Don't underestimate farmers.

On the other hand, Googling and downloading random shit is also the perfect way to end up with malware or break things. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't need to download unverified tools from potentially shady websites just to repair what you own? If your product requires specific proprietary software to repair, that software should be provided when the product is sold.
