Cosmic Rays and Bit Flips..
Happening all the time..."1996, IBM estimates for every 256 megabytes of RAM, there is 1 bit flip per month@13:00
Main culprit? Seems to be neutrinos
Single Event Effect(SEE)
Maria Vindevogal and 4,096 extra votes :30
Similar issues started being reported in the 1970's. @ 3:00
"Los Alamos, 2200 meters above sea level, constantly dealing with neutron induced super computer crashes. The software auto saves frequently and neutron detectors have been installed throughout the facility" @ 14:20
"In the history of our planet, cosmic Ray's may have played an even bigger role, flipping bits in genetic code"

The heliosphere does protect us and offers more protection when the sun is active
Quoting: Begin Again. [ link to www.livescience.com (secure)] An 'Internet apocalypse' could ride to Earth with the next solar storm, new research warns
The sun is always showering Earth with a mist of magnetized particles known as solar wind. For the most part, our planet's magnetic shield blocks this electric wind from doing any real damage to Earth or its inhabitants, instead sending those particles skittering toward the poles and leaving behind a pleasant aurora in their wake.
In short, a severe solar storm could plunge the world into an "internet apocalypse" that keeps large swaths of society offline for weeks or months at a time, Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi, an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine, wrote in the new research paper. (The paper has yet to appear in a peer-reviewed journal).
"What really got me thinking about this is that with the pandemic we saw how unprepared the world was. There was no protocol to deal with it effectively, and it's the same with internet resilience," Abdu Jyothi told WIRED. "Our infrastructure is not prepared for a large-scale solar event."An assistant professor at UC Irvine, doesn't know when or when not to use the word "apocalypse"?  Lol
