> IBM estimated in 1996 that one error per month per 256 MiB of RAM was expected for a desktop computer.

From the wikipedia article on "Soft error", if anyone wants to extrapolate.

Given enough computers, anything will happen. Apparently enough bit flips happen in domains (or their DNS resolution) that registering domains one bit away from the most popular ones (e.g. something like gnogle.com for google.com) might be worth it for bad actors. There was a story a few years ago, but I can't find it right now; perhaps someone will link it.

At google "more than 8% of DIMM memory modules were affected by errors per year" [0]

It's "HN-likely" which translates to "almost never" in reality.
