interesting, that kind of fine would be nice for us to have in Australia. i agree with you honestly, a fine for something like this would be good as long as it's hefty and proportional to income
A fine works if it's a significant amount of the finee's net worth, but because fines are not scaled proportionally to finee's net worth (or even scaled at all) it's my opinion that these things just work as a paywall, including things like traffic violations.
coreboot/libreboot saves that much battery? I thought it just handled the initialisation of devices and the devices were handed over to the kernel (and the drivers that come along with it) as soon as boot was done. Aren't the battery savings down to superior power management drivers?
