Infodumping: Year 2038

Podcast Jul 6, 2024

*We are not time experts.

This month’s episode is a little bit about Y2K and a lot bit about your thermostat getting caught in a boot loop in 2038, a year not nearly as catchy as Y2K.

Discussed
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Y2K, Swatch Internet Time, Pizza Hut, Thermostats, Runescape, 4-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit timekeeping, heat death of the universe, general collapse and e-waste-ification of Amazon garbage.
