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
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
On 32 bit computers
Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

You perhaps need to talk to people if you think people now have a high opinion of Elon Musk. His reputation has crashed since he bought Twitter
Now perhaps you'll still hear space fans singing his praise, but the general position holds no respect for him
China has a problem. It isn't good at finding the best people and putting them into science (or whatever else). Instead it gets the loyal people and gives them the best jobs, they then select people below them however they will
People then strive for recognition and advancement so scientific fraud is rife
This idea has been around for a while. Make government more efficient by putting a private enterprise person in charge
It never worked because the private enterprise person got efficiency by having a cool project or forceful personality in the private enterprise which let them pay their employees poorly. Or maybe they paid their employees well and had excellent success. But then they have government employees who are hard to fire, have highly specialist knowledge, aren't in it for profit and so the private enterprise maverick is usually [worse than] useless
I don't expect it to work this time either, especially as Musk is more interested in Tesla, SpaceX, and his other companies
You say that as if you would claim that Mr Trump is competent, despite his (presumably age related) mental problems and his complete lack of ability in doing politics
I listen to music on a new music radio station - the good new music really stands out
Most people just like the (better bits of) stuff they listened to when they were young
It was the book that put me over the edge. He pre-dated the discovery of vitamin C, but the details of meat curing scurvy, from records of ship wrecks where hundreds of men die of scurvy and a handful ignore the accepted wisdom and kill an animal and eat it and are cured, or kill an animal and hand it to the cook who boils it tender and they all die. Then explorers living on pemmican (a mix of powdered air dried lean meat to an equal weight of rendered fat) with no ill effects (though a brutal forced adaptation that you couldn't do now) then someone with a pemmican food supply who's warned "This was badly made and overheated, so it has lost its ascorbic nature (its vitamin C)" who ensures he has an alternative ascorbic solution and then goes ahead and gets the early stages of scurvy, and cures it.
These stories of men who lived at risk of scurvy are so much more convincing than modern assays of how much vitamin C in beef, and assurances that we don't need the RDI while not eating plants.
I would say it's why I don't cook my meat much (smoking hot cast iron, 2 inch steak, 1 minute each side) but I learned to like my meat like that from a pub that let you cook for yourself. After a few drinks whole minutes of cooking are too much. I drank and ate there a fair bit as a youth
Hmm. This tab is my lemmy.world login. I only had it open to watch for replies to old comments. Drat.
