Not everything you are ever told is true. Being sceptical when presented with no evidence is what critical thinking is about. And "this is what happened to us" is a story. It doesn…

You can read online how often correctable errors happen to people with ECC and reporting. Single digit - sometimes none - errors per year in systems with consumer amount of RAM.

If browser is the only software you use, good for you.

> Any computer without ECC memory is a computer that does not compute from time to time So are the computers with ECC memory. It's not an absolute protection either.

Some things not having viable alternatives on MacOS/Linux/BSD/whatever-else is not an opinion of mine. It's just life.

It works most of the time. If "works most of the time" is acceptable for you, it's good enough. If you actually want to be able to play whatever you want to play - instead of what …
