True, but everything in our house, our Apple G3s and cute colorful iMac computers, bike speedometer/mileage tracker, my Casio digital G-Shocks, our digital displayed household clocks, our cordless phones... all of them, continued to display the proper date and functioned as they should on January 1, 2000. I didn’t have an “IT” department working round the clock to calibrate all of my personal devices.
Now, I understand that it was antiquated OS’s running on ancient software that was the true time bomb in the Y2K phenomenon. One of the “Big Three” entertainment companies I worked for at the time had to hire out additional IT manpower to ensure that all digital files and networks would not get corrupted. This is when I met my first “stacker/prepper.” This freelance IT guy was responsible for updating our department. He folded a dollar bill into an origami of configurations showing me all these symbolisms buried in the bills - lol it was insane. He convinced me that JFK Jr didn’t die in the recent plane crash. He was onto every conspiracy and I was eating it up!
I never did stack anything because my feeling is, if we truly get to the Wild West of things, then it’s gonna be kill or be killed and it’ll petty much be game over for a majority of the population. Fast forward to today and I truly believe that Trump and the White Hats most definitely wont let that happen.
They wouldn't have without a lot of hard work. For what it's worth, it's going to happen in 2038 for systems running UNIX derivatives including almost all Apple devices.
