It depends where you draw the line on ‘faulty’. Even Apple sells the iPhone knowing it is riddled with bugs and potential faultiness. I guess you could say that’s different from knowing not just that they exist but where they are, but I’d be willing to bet that even pieces of software like iOS get released containing unfixed bugs still known to the developers (who hope to fix them all at a later date).
- madsbuch 3y agoWould it be ok, if they knowingly sold a phone that couldn't make a phone call?
- xanderlewis 3y agoNo. But if it failed to make calls in certain relatively rare situations it would be acceptable, not least because such screwups are basically unavoidable in any sufficiently complex system and so demanding that software always works would result in a world without software (unless you have the budget of NASA). I was guessing that in the case of Proton Mail the issue you describe doesn’t happen every single time.
- madsbuch 3y agoThe issue I describe should never happen. It is extremely critical when a communications provider send another message than what it was instructed to. Also, it is not rare. It appears from other commenters that this happens quite regularly.
