but this doesn't change anything... fines are just CoO, to large companies. they need to be forced to implement methods to allow consumer repair and maintenance, for all current and past models that are resistant to it, to fix this.

Great. Some of all those people they've tricked into paying several thousand dollars to much, will finally be able to get a tiny bit back...

99 million is pocket change for them. Have a feeling they won’t change their ways until it’s really causing pain.

A good start

Board members of companies should be required a pay a percentage of all fines levied against a company. Otherwise its just an operating expense.
