About time too.
Far too many devices draw a LOT too much power in their standby modes.

My folks recently bought me a counter top Induction Hob as a fun gift. I tested its power consumption the other day and was very surprised that it pulls 25w just sitting there in standby -.-"

Industry needs to sort out these kind of standby power draws across the board.
