Yes robots may try to "delete" anything newer than 1970 by 2038 bug time. Like unwanted fix.

It is always good to be able to vaporize stuff, just in case. But the true kingdom comes in 2044. Women will rule the Earth exclusively by then. Males will go extinct.

A sect of the Robotic Overlords, equipped with lasers that can vaporize stuff. Sounds kinda like a preview of the Transformers (Decepticons, anyway).

I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux :)

Tested my old computer to set the time over the limits = not possible it wont let me do it
Tested my old computer to run over the limit = nothing really happened except that the network was broken because certification problems.
Rebooted and what? it fixed itself to correct time (2019) without internet connection. How is this possible ? maybe backups.

Waste your own time for reading this if you want but it is not really necessary
Also tried with my iphone 4 and the answer is the last manually setable day is 31.12.2037 and even more weird my old (stone age) cell phone can handle time from 1971 to 2098 but crashed when went to 2099 and was broken untill battery reconnection to lose time. I think it was 32 bit unsigned time or something.

Maybe computers just want to run on 1970 because they were powerful then. Are they really that smart ? No they aren't !

I think Linux has stored time - for years - in a structure which has 64 bits available for time since 1970,
so all the Linuxes which have a modern kernel should be safe from that "bug".

Wow! I read both articles, and I tested out (on my LL 3.8 and 4.0 machines) the Perl script given in the second link. It works for both!! This is the output I got:

Tue Jan 19 03:14:01 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:02 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:03 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:04 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:05 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:06 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:08 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:09 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:10 2038


So if I understood everything correctly, the output indicates that Linux Lite will be resistant to the 2038 problem! Well done, Jerry. You are truly ahead of your time.
