@hellpie @0xabad1dea We had some industrial equipment that sort of shit itself when transitioning from 2019 to 2020.
It went from December 31st 2019 to January 1st 34210 or something batshit like that.

 @DeltaWye @hellpie @0xabad1dea Original programmer in 1970: "nobody will be alive in 2020..."   @DeltaWye @hellpie @0xabad1dea Yes, this is how some developers "fixed" the Y2K bugs that were given them to fix. Kick it down the road 20 years, and if anybody's still using the equipment it'll be somebody else's problem to fix. |
@DeltaWye @hellpie @0xabad1dea I've programmed code in 1993 that assumed that '31.12.19' means '31.12.2019' and '01.01.20' means '01.01.1920'. I'm still using that program and had to change the sourcecode in 2020.
