The EU will make vendors liable for bugs

• fithisux 2y ago
  Pressure to avoid non memory safe / non type safe languages.

  I noticed this part: "generally, the directive sees vendors liable as long as they have control over their product after a sale." That condition makes sense, at least at first.

    If I were doing IoT business in EU, devices sold there would be set to never update to eliminate that liability. Not a bad outcome (IMO) actually.

      Not sure what the definition of "control" is in this case. Might include any type of cloud connectivity. (I'd be quite happy to get no-cloud products just from vendors getting out of liability, tyvm!)

  > The directive also classifies the lack of a software update mechanism to be a product defect That's a tricky one. Is it limited to connected software, or the software in my Christmas lights?
