If the MWI is correct, then our reality already does something similar: there's always a very low but nonzero chance of a quantum fluctuation that will flip your brain into a suffering state. If you don't worry about that, you probably shouldn't worry about the computer.
You have control over what happens with the computer, and the measure of consequences is immensely greater with the computer, even if very low in both cases.
But I also have control over stuff with a high probability. I can donate to a good charity and have a high probability of taking someone out of a suffering state.
