maness300,

Does anyone know when the new date limit will be?

Perhyte,

Assuming they went to signed 64-bit time, it should be about 3:28:32 pm UTC on Sunday, December 4, 292277026596. Yes, that last number is a year.

maness300,

Holy shit.

abbenm,

I think all stars in the galaxy will be dead by then.

duncesplayed,

That’s Saturday night in North American time zones. Just a heads up in case you’re planning a boys’ night out a couple hundred billion years in advance, maybe move it to Friday night in case the world ends Saturday night.

It’s always nice to see futureproofing

Didn’t we learn our lesson 24 years ago with Y2K!?

EDIT: To be clear, I was being facetious. I remember my parents and father freaking out about this when I was in middle school. I would have thought we got this taken care of permanently already

possiblylinux127,

Yes, that’s why we are patching

BlanK0,

The data lost that occurred due to the lack of differentiation between year 1900 and 2000 on calendar systems of the older computers?

Bene7rddso,

This mistake was made in the 70s when time was added to UNIX (or maybe already with Multics, idk)

socialpankakemix,

good thing they have 14 years to work on it

Great news, my Sheevaplug can now cross 2038.

What’s a Sheevaplug? lemmy.world/comment/7295421

Sibbo,

What’s a sheevaplug?

SinningStromgald,
thejml,

As one of the first such computers on the market, the device has a 1.2 GHz Marvell Kirkwood 6281 ARM-compatible CPU, a.k.a. Feroceon.

Man this Pokémon thing is crazy, how many Eevolutions are there?!

JustUseMint,

Dude that’s badass haha

JustUseMint,

Thanks for sharing, there fucking awesome. Even more turned off from pi than I was before haha

Well then you may also like this comment here about the RPi’s lack of hardware innovation and features. And this one about how it is just a product that stays in between two very different markets and doesn’t really serve anyone.

I was fairly certain I was going to see an IoT buttplug there…

SinningStromgald,

The thought crossed my mind to do that the actual device seemed more interesting.

The search term is censored by DuckDuckGo in Korea. Even robots apparently think it’s going to be an IoT buttplug.

The SheevaPlug was the OG Raspberry Pi released years before the Raspberry Pi that nobody cared about because there wasn’t a media hype around it.

Now the interesting part is: it included an ARM CPU @ 1.2 GHz and it was released in 2009 with dedicated Gigabit ethernet plus another isolated USB chip. Note that the Raspberry Pi was released years later, in 2012, with a 100M ethernet + USB shared chip that was total garbage. They kept selling that garbage until 2019 with the release of the Raspberry Pi 4 that finally came with Gigabit.

Another interesting fact about the SheevaPlug is that there was a variant with an https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SheevaPlug_ports.jpg once again totally obliterating the Raspberry Pi 4 and making it the perfect low power system for a NAS at the time.

Menteros,

Wow I forgot about those. Always wanted one but too expensive for me at the time.

I know the feeling, I also had to pay extra customs taxes because I’m in Europa and it was sold by an US company. :(
