YoshitoKikuchi 12/26/19 10:50:40 PM #1:	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem The *Year 2038 problem* (*Y2038) relates to representing time in many digital systems as the number of seconds passed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 and storing it as a signed 32-bit binary integer. Such implementations cannot encode times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. Just like the Y2K problem, the Year 2038 problem is caused by insufficient capacity of the chosen storage unit. --- Dont be ridiculous.
