 @jgilbert Just wait until Jan 2038 when all the 32-bit *nix systems (and a lot of legacy Windoze stuff) all forget what date it is. New Zealand should get hit first, because timezones. Much more here[1]. I'll be 80 later that year, and if I'm still breathing, there's a fair chance I might get my last ever programming gig off the back of that! Happy days 😂 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem?wprov=sfla1 2 comments
@jgilbert 'Scuse my language, but really, fuck the smart ovens and elevators - they're part of the problem and have no reason being online in the first place. But wait until someone's pension matures 'many years in the past' (or years in the future)! That's going to be fun, as long as one isn't directly affected. And as I said, if I'm spared, I may even get some interesting work out of it :) |

@bytebro oh, yeah, no, I'm aware, and already prepping my sub-par assembly skills in anticipation of getting those lucrative "Our car model won't turn on after this date, let's do an upgrade" and "our smart elevators and ovens won't work after the rollover" contract work. 👍
