even if somehow these windmills need regular maintenance by Chinese operators, there’s still an easy solution: 1. put all the management endpoints into an isolated network where they can be accessed from a jumpbox; 2. provide access under escort, so German proctors are monitoring the session and can pause it at any time. extremely noncredible!
I’d thrown in some community service on top, or 24 hours in jail if that’s not feasible. Fines just go to the kid’s parents - who also deserve to be punished tbf, based on how badly they’ve raised their kid to behave.
