9. Almost 47 years of uptime for the onboard computers with minimal glitches

I have to reboot my Windows 10 computer and Android phone at least every few weeks because they slow down and start freezing and glitching out.

Granted, the computer and phone are way more complex than the Voyager's computers. But a nuclear powered computer in freezing space for 47 years, able to be reprogrammed over and over again and still function without needing a reboot is some kind of bulletproof.
