Re: Clarity needed here
The key words to look up basically seem to be "John Deere" and repair. Like the iPhone, it appears that if you try to fix your own tractor, its computer detects interference and refuses to work at all. "Right to repair" therefore apparently means that manufacturers would not be allowed to include a self-destruct function of that type in their product. (You can still set your own iPhone to overload if you are captured by the Talosians, of course.)
