Why without preparation? We all know the epoch integer will overflow on 32-bit systems in 20388

Because as it seems Y2K was a hoax (see ggp), so why should we prepare next time?

Plus, noone in charge to decide will understand the significance of such a weird date.

  • The systems that would have suffered the most, are the old Cobol systems that used to run the world. They were mostly fixed in Y2K.

    Taiwan and Japan have their own version of Y2K problem in 2011 and 2025 respectively due to era names. Nothing big happened for Taiwan, and I can't see big problems coming up in 2025 or 2038.
