told anyone that Windows 8.x and 10 expires on this date. As these
computers crash, the entire internet will fail and all electrical
service will cease to function worldwide.


It's called Year 2038 problem, when you need a 64-bit integer to store

BTW, Y2K problem back then didn't create any major chaos as.
