re: 2) The comment "certain amount of complexity" probably explains why putting microchips in cars hasn't led to fuel injectors getting demon-ridden: those are too simple. A worldwide network of personal computers was not too simple, even in the early days, so attracted the possession we see.
Actually, the most complicated home computers probably could become demon-ridden in and of themselves, now that I think about it. being not that much more interconnected inside than the very early internet. Apparently if you've a high-power PC you can run the equivalent of ChatGPT or one of the creepy art-generating AIs like Stable Diffusion at home.
re: 3) This could bring a whole new meaning to computer icons, at least for the Orthodox Christian denominations. ;)
It also occurs to me: there are both water- and oil-cooled computers, for enthusiasts. Perhaps having the coolant blessed would be worthwhile.
