Last week, the U.S. Copyright Office granted an exemption allowing McDonald's to repair its ice cream machines without manufacturer authorization, addressing frequent malfunctions.
The exemption means repairs no longer require costly service calls or waiting for authorized technicians, which often delays simple fixes when ice cream machines break.
McBroken found that as of Friday, nearly 15 percent of McDonald's ice cream machines were out of order, reflecting frustration from customers and memes.
iFixit highlighted that digital locks by manufacturers have stymied repairs, but the new ruling will enable faster fixes, potentially improving customer satisfaction.
