I'm about halfway through my career and I have seen something like that happen exactly once; the erratic behavior of the machine had my team scratching our heads for a fair bit until we ran memtest86 on it after running out of ideas. So I would say that it's not impossible, just extraordinarily unlikely.
The rest of your post I entirely agree with.
- FpUser 6y agoThings did happen with my stuff as well. I had graphics card semi failed in an unpredictable way so I just replaced it. I also had one system randomly crashing because thermal paste dried up on one ancient CPU. It is just a little annoyance that happens extremely rarely. Anything is possible and I'll deal with it when/if. Nothing world shattering here. Cloud can and does fail as well. The list of reported outages affecting large chunks of customer beats my accidental cases with the healthy margin.
