It shouldn't be when using graphene OS, the installation guide even instructs you to lock it after you're don't installing it.

Oh the irony...
There's been a shitload of spam here lately, and it always takes forever to get it removed.
I read a little on the wiki page you linked, and it seems it was in fact not passed.
The act consisted of House and Senate bills H.R. 1697 and S. 720 and died in Congress
What the actual fuck...
Nono, the bombs starts the earths core
But like I said, I believe global revenue is a better measure for global corporations when it comes to how large fines should be. They have to be large enough to make these companies proactive and not just reactive. 10% of their global revenue is almost 50% of their income, now that is going to make a difference.
No it may not be, but it's one company and I believe they should be fines based on their global revenue, just like the EU fines alphabet, meta and apple. If a fine doesn't hurt in their global financial picture, they don't give a shit.
In a globally spanning company, it doesn't make sense to separate it in to different markets like that when it comes to fines for breaking the law IMO. If the same practice that caused this to happen in Norway is profitable elsewhere, nothing is going to change and the Norwegian "mishap" is just cost of doing business.
I bought a couple of 12tb "used" drives from servershop24.de, thay all had less than 150h of runtime.
Yeah fines for corporations should really be a percentage of yearly revenue, ideally no less than 10%. The current system is ridiculously outdated and has no impact whatsoever.
Capacitive sensors are looking at capacitance of a material, everything has this not just living things and it certainly doesn't require putting current through the material. You can for example get capacitive sensors for sensing the presence of cardboard, and they're often used for detecting metal parts (obviously tuned to the specific material). This is also why water droplets mess up touch screens (and the biometric sensor), because it's close enough to the capacitance of a finger (we're mostly water after all) to trick it and create false triggers.
