I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:
it’s more comfortable
Agreed, I will generally sit down.
It's solely a matter of comfort and/or convenience:
- No. 2: Toilet (obviously, I hope).
- No. 1 on the road or at the pub: Urinal or standing elsewhere.
- No. 1 otherwise: sit down and relax.

My understanding is that this would allow for lawsuits along the lines of "Your poorly written software caused [our business to lose this giant contract|thousands of consumers left with bricked devices|my washing machine to eat my dog]. Now pay up!"
Essentially, software vendors (vendor being the operative word here) would become liable for damage caused by their faulty products, just like manufacturers of air compressors or toys or fireworks.

Yeah, I'm assuming developers in the big software companies are donning lifejackets due to the amount of palm sweat from the C-suites.
>EU brings product liability rules in line with digital age and circular economy > >Today [2024-10-10] the Council adopted a directive to update the EU’s civil liability law. The new liability rules better take into account that nowadays many products have digital features and that the economy is becoming increasingly circular.
I've found liberal amounts of contact cleaner to solve inadvertent double clicking.
