Yes? “Consciously” and “knowingly” would be synonyms in the context.
Very subtle and nuanced difference. They are frequently used interchangeably.
Consciously would suggest awareness of the fault. Knowingly would fit better here because it implies broader understanding of selling faulty chips (eg to hit a target) even though they might cause problem .
In my opinion .
They are from legal perspective though?
What does the statute says?
Good. I hope the lawsuit is successful. Intel did not handle this very well, to say the least.
Mistakes are OK. How you handle them makes a difference and Intel has been a shitshow on this front. For a long time.
If they had been acting in good faith the entire time this lawsuit would not exist.
