    I had a less technical savvy coworker putting together a raspi for something, emulation I think. And he was notoriously cheap, he told me he got a micro SD from China for a suspiciously low price.

    Well during this endeavor, he would keep asking me about random errors he was seeing. And I kept saying bro it is that cheap SD card you bought. He wouldn’t hear it.

    Eventually, he tried out another SD card and sure enough, no more weird errors.

      Power sources is another one. The errors caused by a slightly broken PSU can be really mysterious.
