    Y2K: Passed ✅

    2038: “Wanna see me do it again?”

    Ha ha, well I have absolutely no faith that we will collectively solve that unless 32 bit systems stop working on their own before then. If Y2K happened again today, there’d be a handful of companies handed billions of dollars to fix everything, and it’d wind up half done with demands for more money.

      I’d love to be proven wrong, but I have suspicion that it will be solved by the good ol’ planned obsolescence: “Your device will no longer supported after 2038. Buy this shiny new device and receive 10% discount by entering our coupon code: YAY2K38”
