I don't know if this was a keynote or something but the article feels like it spoiled the punchline (somewhat expecting the keynote to have an unassuming title like "hacking farmware for the greater good", describing the hack, and then booting that gloriously modded doom as the absolute punchline)
But I wonder if the (sad sad) punchline is buried in the tweets:
> Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems.
Decades of such nonsense on commodity routers yet still preventing users access "for security" and regulatory approval, same circus all over again, except with a bunch of metric tons of metal on wheels instead of a RF emitting plastic box.
I'm half jokingly waiting for mysterious crop circles to remotely deface fields anytime soon.
