If bit flips are a huge concern as the technology used in consumer electronics gets smaller and smaller, what measures are being used to protect against them?

If there are any measures that can be used.

You said *consumer* electronics, right?

There’s all sorts of parity and other hardware and software methods of avoiding bit flips...

But frankly nobody cares if your phone reboots randomly once a year. If the bit flip even causes that, and just doesn’t crash an app or something. 

There’s so many fatal flaws and solid nasty bugs in most consumer stuff, bit flipping isn’t even on the priority list beyond the initial hardware design spec. 

And the budget to add it in hardware approaches zero.
