If your toaster is automatic beyond belief, you should be in awe but not afraid, for this alien technology bestowed upon us by the ancients is benevolent and incorruptible.

But a modern toaster? That could kill you in your sleep!

So you’re basically saying it’s a cosmic entity from galaxies away that has been lurking for aeons in the empty shadows of space, thirsting for sentient life, and it has been attracted in our vicinity by our foolish experiments, gotcha.

Playing elite dangerous made me realize how relatively close Voyager still is and will be for millenia to come. It’s hardly in the “depts of space”

Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.
