beardyw 4 hours ago > The directive also classifies the lack of a software update mechanism to be a product defectThat's a tricky one. Is it limited to connected software, or the software in my Christmas lights?
Arnt 5 hours ago 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. karmakaze 7 minutes ago 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.
