    Do you think it's too late? ...

    Many guys are hooked. ?
    To them i have to say they are the stupidest fu_ck_ers on the planet. Even when told they just sit there with a stupid look on their face.

    You might own the hardware - might - but just like the software in your smartphone, the software has a license agreement which basically means they can almost, restricted by very lax laws of privacy can, send back anything they want.

    An example, the new Rhoombas map your home and send back to the manufacturer who shares with all its commercial partners all the information about your house.

    WeVibe, a smartphone controlled vibrator had to pay millions in damages when it was found out the app was sending back how often it was used, how long, what time of day etc. Back door, pardon the pun, data upload is built right in.

    Superfish used to come preinstalled on Lenovo computers that would partner with commericial interests to inject ads and results in your internet searches - but it did so mind bogglingly by hijacking the http stream. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/lenovo-pcs-ship-with-man-in-the-middle-adware-that-breaks-https-connections/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/lenovo-pcs-ship-with-man-in-the-middle-adware-that-breaks-https-connections/

    So ya, sending your data out is no big deal - because you already said it was ok. Even if you shut down all comms, one day that service laptop will get plugged in and it will be retrieved anyway.

    Farmers are just to naive maybe, or too slow, or too i don't know, technologically dumb to see the big picture here. Same as in your home computers, use a VPN and try to hide at least a bit.

    So no Bucket, they won't be throwing it out, they'll just sit there and wonder how everyone knows their operation better then them.

      Always ask yourself.
      What is the commodity???
      Today it is you. And your patterns every minute.
      But of course, not your inventory data.
