my father worked for a company in the healthcare industry - I'd hear stories of multi-month long FDA audits of their hardware after a 'statistically significant' number of failures in the field.
Healthcare industry?
Statistically significant (which I note you put in scare quotes) failures?
I damn well hope so that such incidents are taken very seriously by the FDA.
- toyg 10y agoYeah, I think his point was that it's not sustainable for a company selling $20 webcams to get that sort of scrutiny. The counterpoint is that, if the webcam is used in failure-critical situations, then it absolutely should be under that level of scrutiny. The problem is finding how you can define that operational scenario in law.
- majewsky 10y agoIn a world where random webcams can mount DDoS attacks on basically any internet service, is there any non-failure-critical situation for an internet-connected device? (Honest question.)
