Making you look like a fool for pointing out that a button that says self destruct should really engage self destruct, and a button that says test nuclear missiles should in contrast not actually fire nuclear missiles.

And from Poettering's fix here:

Plus a multitude of other fixes, some quite important, such as one that fixes a case where --dry-run wasn't dry at all.

So the button that says test nuclear missiles was in fact actually firing nuclear missiles sometimes.

Some time ago, I read that more and more with RAM density increases, the RAM sticks had ECC internally, and a quick search seems to confirm it:

For every 128 bits of data, DDR5 DRAMs has 8 additional bits for ECC storage.

Which means that it doesn't even cost significantly less to make non-ECC RAM, it's just crippled by lacking the interface on the bus.
