The only chips that may be at risk are those that are "date sensitive". If a chip is "date sensitive" it MUST have a provision to input a new date if the chip loses power, or the battery runs out or is defective.

If you accept this fact, this rules out problems with toasters, microwaves, cars etc. The only chips or systems that need to be tested are those which need to have the date reset after a power failure.

These should be easy to find and are a lot less then "millions".
