Wrong. There are hardware bugs that do not manifest as physical safety risks.
Physical safety risks are an exceptional class of defects that in most jurisdictions has a legal requirement for the vendor to fix or replace the defective part(s) at their own cost (not to be borne by consumer).
Point: SPECTRE/MELTDOWN were not "physical safety risks". Yes you can argue they are security risks, but they didn't physically manifest as a physical safety risk which can lead to severe injury or loss of life.
- Angostura 7y agoI'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I said amend it to make it a hardware fault of your choice, or make those sparks a bit of static.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoMy point was that a physical safety risk is a special kind of "hardware bug". It is not just another hardware bug, of a different flavor. Your commentary seemed to suggest you were not attaching an appropriate level of mental priority with regards to the severity and risk.
