Why do Linux live USBs ship a broken version of memtest86+ to this day?

@mavica_again was the 16/8GB thing you saw, broken hardware that memtest didn't catch, or good hardware that memtest tested incorrectly?

@smellsofbikes no clue, don't know how lenovo diagnostics works and newer passmark memtest 10.2 did a full pass without errors

memtest86+ 5.01 freezes on test 1 54% and i've seen it freeze at exactly the same point (just a couple of seconds in really) on another hardware entirely, which is what made me try another memtest

and yes this was memtest from two different liveusbs, which both had 86+ 5.01 exactly
