Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

It sounds like BS to me, why would Intel make CPUs with a known cause of failure built in? I would assume the G3258 is a very small die CPU so it would definitely be affected by the problems with thermal cycling on small die soldered CPUs.

Taking a page from NVIDIA?

Is there a good reason for me to give a poo poo about having ECC ram on the box storing my linux ISOs? What is it protecting me against? If the result of a flipped bit in ram getting stored to disk is a flicker of a corrupted frame in a video file, it's not exactly something I think I'd worry about paying extra for, but I don't really know.

(I've seen tons of posts re: I WANT ECC FOR MY HOME SERVER and it occurred to me that I didn't know why).

There's debate on whether ECC is necessary for things like ZFS
