Where is the line drawn on how much is the responsibility of the "end users" (hospitals, etc). Hypothetically, if there was a widespread 'bug' in... Intel CPUs

Where is the line drawn on how much is the responsibility of the "end users" (hospitals, etc).
Hypothetically, if there was a widespread 'bug' in... Intel CPUs that caused a similar issue, would you say it was the hospitals that should be held accountable, or Intel, or someone else? What about if the issue was in Windows itself - what should each hospital do differently that would have avoided this?
- threatofrain 2y agoLet the consumers sue the hospitals and banks, and let those entities that directly interface with consumers sue Intel in return. Consumers need an interface to recover damages. This will provide the motivation not to keep around shit vendors and entertain shit contracts that basically absolve the vendors of all blame. When the damages are in the billions we need to make sure that there are billions in liability to balance the scales. Or else there will always be a perverse incentives to not give a shit.
