I keep seeing caps described as "computer grade" but a search for a

What does this mean? As the vast majority of computers are owned by the
masses, one could assume it means sleazy consumer quality. Or it could
mean the kind of computer that prevents ICBM's from being accidentally
launched.

Which is it?

It is the working grade. Rated duty cycle.
There are commercial - 8 hours in 24
industrial - 12 hours in 24
computer or telephone grade 24 hours in 24.
The MTBF data is determined using the appropriate duty cycle.
See ITT Handbook for more info.
