If you buy a car and the airbags randomly deploy, would you consider it reasonable for the manufacturer to respond "oh, yeah, that'll happen if you drive it on roads rougher than polished stainless steel. You should only be driving on polished roadways"?
- chromoblob 3y agoIf this requirement was known to me before I bought, sure. I think that this is a bad analogy to hardware, though. Polished steel roads are unreasonable to ask for, but bugless processors are reasonable to ask for.
- thfuran 3y agoNo, they aren't. You can only buy the buggy processors that exist, not notional bugless ones.
- chromoblob 3y agoAs if processors were only sold by alien gods, and processors without bugs were impossible to create.
- thfuran 3y agoThey may not be impossible to make, but they don't get made. And I guess you think Microsoft has been putting bugs in Windows for the last few decades just for something to do, or was that also the influence of alien gods?
