I had bit flips on a few JPGs and it renders them useless. Luckily I had a backup of a backup that had them uncorrupted. I'm still trying to find a complete solution to this problem. Presumably the TIFF or BMP file formats are more stable against bit flips.
I'd been reading so much about it over the past year or so I got to wondering just how many times cosmic rays affect our brains and what kind of protections we're running up in our skulls.
