It's very common. A standard feature of inaccessible computer equipment is called a "Watchdog Timer".

The system has a hardware counter that turns the computer off and on again if the timer gets too high. You then write your software so that it resets the timer at regular intervals. If your software crashes, it won't reset the timer and the computer will restart.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but it's really effective.

It is unlikely that they consider a woman not requiring a man to be innocent.

Fun fact: it is illegal to own more than three sex toys in Texas, but it is legal to own raccoons there. I guess that's why they call raccoons "dildos of the forest".
