The popular e-commerce site iFixit wants Congress to allow it to fix the chronically broken ice cream machines used at McDonald’s franchises.
“This summer, we’re on a mission to fix that problem, in two big ways: We’re getting into the sticky insides of commercial ice cream machines and the US copyright law that makes them hard to fix.”
“Getting this exemption request granted would let us do more with our machine: Instead of just taking it apart, we could also dig into the software,” Chamberlain wrote. Attempts by independent actors to fix McDonald’s ice cream machines have been met with fierce resistance by the company., are sold to McDonald’s franchises at a cost of $18,000 apiece.
According to the “McBroken” app, some 10% of ice cream machines at McDonald’s locations throughout the US are malfunctioning at any given moment.
