19 January 2038 - Unix Millennium Bug
Anybody tried to change the system date to: 19th January, 2038? It's worth a try to see if "Unix Millennium Bug" affects Windows 10 systems. After changing the time, reboot the machine and use it for a few days to see if there are problems apart from Anti-virus definitions becomes out of date!!! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR PRODUCTION/MAIN MACHINE OTHERWISE YOU'LL BLAME ME FOR BEING A BAD GUY!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brZEd-8bt68 -- With over 500 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

See these Wikipedia articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System...rating_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_f...d_storage_bugs On the other hand, I'm not willing to try it... just in case. -- We need a true leader, not a crown. |

I believe most business applications are still using 32-bit date-time data types ... especially small companies. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!
