I think we can defederate that company’s name from our personal vocabulary instances.

    Yeah good explanation. I was too young to had any further knowledge about this issue way back and only saw it manifesting when I had to adjust my windows 95 clock :)

      Next doom and gloom scenario is 2038, when poorly maintained *nix systems will think it’s Jan 1st, 1970.

      I’ll be pushing 68. Hopefully retired or dead by then.

      … I’ll probably still be working, though…

        Eh, it only being an issue for 32-bit systems will hopefully help. But of course somebody will still be running that in 15 years.
