  This is just a diagnosis of the problem.

  That thing is engineered so they can bypass or repurpose ever little bit.

  Which is probably what they'll do now, do a software update that will make the system evade the bad memory segment.

  Voyager has 3 computers and only 1 is affected.

    Did they use 3 different types of ram? If one is failing after 45 years I’d think the odds of the other similar memory possibly failing as well is possible
