  • The exact numbers for when it messes something up, but keeps running, are unknown and highly ubpredictable.

    According to above post, about 10% of firefox crashes (more numbers found in the post) are caused by this stuff. It’s not unreasonable to say those crashes could’ve had the bitflip happen on content instead, changing maybe a character on the page or something.

    Note that it’s not 10% of users, as that’s reslly hard to figure out. Someone with bad RAM will likely crash more often.



  • I use whatsapp for communicating with a few groups of people who are refusing to switch over. I’m not getting them to move, they’re a mix of tech illiterate, ignorant, or just unwilling. These groups have important annoucements in them, that I’m unable to receive any other way. Sometimes there’s just no way around services like these.

    I do my best to protect myself (no proprietary facebook code ever runs on my main device), and keep personal information I provide to a minimum (as I don’t trust Facebook’s E2EE claims). There’s not much more I can do besides not receiving important announcements.
