That's totally fine. The problem is people that do need it not having the option to pay the extra without getting a totally different "workstation-class" computer.

The problem is the lack of choice, not your choice. If you were willing to pay $10 more for ECC DRAM, there would be no way to use it.

Plz tell me your IP, I'll block torrents from you :D

torrents have checksums on the blocks, which your client already checks, because the internet doesn't guarantee packets arrive without corruption. it doesn't matter where the corruption comes from.

I’d go dither than that and claim that almost everything of importance has checksums: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Git submissions, all my important web accounts, the traffic with my bank website and so forth.

When I look at my daily home computer usage, it’s remarkable how little I calculate on my local computer that’s actually with protecting.

Yes, I know. It was a joke :)
