I got sucked into reading a few other posts by the same author and one is about exactly this! https://brr.fyi/posts/frost

Agree! Interesting read which got me thinking about how we take our current systems (hvac, phones, laptops) / constructions materials and the environments we use them in with the expectation that they should work 99% of the time.

Down the rabbit hole... how long would my phone last in strato/meso/thermo spheres before memory starts flipping due to cosmic rays?

Thanks for sharing!


Yep, see this other post: https://brr.fyi/posts/frost
