It just occurred to me: We don't really have corrupted downloads anymore, do we? Like, random bit flips and stuff?
Back in the day (I'm talking 2000s) they were much more common.
And now I wonder whether the hardware has gotten better (and less analog), or whether it's because we're using HTTPS for everything now, or a combination of both, or something else entirely.
@scy ECC (error correction coding) on lines is now way more common and fiber connections are close to error free.
