Back in my SIL4 days, we had a de-capped memory SIMM in the lab that we used to test resilience to cosmic rays for certification and other testing procedures .. often requiring a junior dev to sit there waiting for the signal and remove the lead shield we'd place over it when not testing, in order to trigger a cosmic bit shift. We had t-shirts for those guys "Guardian of the Cosmic Bit" printed up, was a fun time ..

I wonder if a device with worse RAM can measure radiation by checking how many of its own bits are being randomly flipped.
Coding a program that could self-heal and survive in such a situation would be fun.

A device with a camera can: https://hackaday.com/2012/01/15/turn-your-camera-phone-into-...
You'd crash the hardware just as often as the program.
