What happens in 2039?
Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?
Lots of embedded systems and infrastructure. But yeah, nothing important like your porn watching device.
And as long as they get updated, it'll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn't care about the date
As long as they can be updated.
It's not about having accurate dates, it's about how unix time is used in programming. For some systems that reference unix time for essential calculations, that value rolling over and overflowing would cause catastrophic problems
Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out
Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don't know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses
The year after epoch overflows?
On 32 bit computers
If isnt my 23rd favorite rapist and future source of heating, Vince McMahon
That’s why I was one of the few to downvote.
This guy is no Luigi Sr.
I was already almost always picking Luigi. Recent events have only solidified my choice.
Original MarioKart DS, Luigi in his vacuum go-kart was peak performance
The fact that he used Luigi as his Steam avatar makes it even better.
Man's got good taste in games
Ftl is a based game to have in your most played list
Nice meme, unfortunate image choice (isn't that the wrestling billionaire CEO?).
Not anymore lol
Within a few months, Nintendo will have renamed him to Leroy or something, and put out a press release that it had been in the planning for a few years, to refresh the franchise for a new generation of players and so on, and obviously had nothing to do with Luigi having become a symbol of insurrection.
What is this clip from?
sad wrestling man
I'm going to guess it's from the recent documentary on Netflix, "Mr. McMahon"
From a documentary about the undertaker. Vince McMahon had a sex toy named after him if I remember his sex trafficking lawsuit correctly.
A movie called The Sandlot. I grew up watching this. It was pretty popular at the time but it's considered old now. 😞
I had just started getting comfortable with either big (waluigi) or baby (toadette) in kart 8 . Guess I'm going back to medium.
I chose Luigi before it was cool! I drove as him in Double Dash!
