I guess I should've scrolled down more, I made a similar comment. How quickly people forget!

Remember when Sony BGM put the rootkit on their CDs? I guess as long as you're not putting it in a computer, you're good.

I've never seen this before, this is really interesting. Thank you for the link!

Software is honestly cheaper and easier to test, other kinds of engineering tests run far more expensive in time and materials, and simulations aren't perfect and can't replicate all real world conditions.

Definitely agree on the explicitly bad choices though, and since software's impact is often very subtle it might really be impossible to gauge exactly how bad some of those choices end up being.
