It is amazing to me, but he appears to have gotten even fluffier since I've seen him last. I knew Pomeranians were fluffy but - wow!

So the dogs caught up, and so did the humans.

Then I turned the corner, and there was another man entering a house with a dog barking and barking, and the man announced "I'm a murderer and I'm here to kill you all!" and if it turns out he was a murderer I'll feel bad for giggling. But I'm certain he lives there and is not actually homicidal at all, or anyway, no more than the next person.

The computer errors from outer space

Back in the late 80s there was a widespread problems traced to something similar. The problems was memory chips that had a high occurrence of bit flips.

Turned out to be the ceramic used to encase the chips. It was slightly radioactive. Normally not a problem, but being so close to the chips, the emitted particles were flipping bits.

This led to manufacturers screening the incoming materials the ceramics were made of to ensure that they had *way* less than normal background radiation levels.

And "space certified" computer chips are ones that are "hardened" against cosmic rays and the like. Which is why the ones used in various satellites (and likely on the ISS) are so far behind the current generations.
