It takes 5 seconds to Google ECC memory if you're really interested and if you're working on kernel related stuff you 99.9999% know what it is.

To someone on HN who isn’t familiar with what Google does that explains nothing about how Google works ;)

Google is like an evil version of Duck Duck Go.

Nah, to Google is just a generic verb. For example I too do all my googling at Duck Duck Go.

Hi alphabet lawyers.

I believe there was a suit against alphabet about this very thing.

They argued that 'Google' has now become a verb meaning 'to search the Internet for' and as such alphabet should have the name taken away.

Right. My point that TFA serves zero purpose to most people on here. Those that know how ECC works already know that it is a must have. Those that don't will learn very little from the post because it fails to explain what ECC is and why you need it aside from general statements about memory errors. It will reaffirm for those that know about what ECC RAM is that it's a good idea, but they already know it anyways. It reads a lot like an article about why vitamin C is a good thing.
