Year 2038 problem
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2018 10:34 pm
Welcome whether will Reactos have a problem on January 19, 2038 or no? Whether ReactOS using 32 bit time?
AdrianGlowaki, the '32' of 32-bit Microsoft Windows or ReactOS refers to the length of the address pointers used by the operating system. The '32' is not a limitation of the length in bits of a piece of internal data used by the operating system or application programs. Even the now-obsolete 16-bit Windows (such as Microsoft Windows 3.1) could keep time using 64 bits.AdrianGlowacki wrote:I do not know. Others write something else that the problem of the year also has windows (only 32 bit) and on the other hand actually writes here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_%28 ... ce_date%29 that the time of Windows begins on 1 January 1601 so I do not know . Now I'm lost in all this.
You should probably actually learn about this stuff instead of screaming "the world is ending in the year 2000 because of all the broken computers". And maybe stop listening to whatever morons are telling you that a computer can't represent data larger than it's bus size.AdrianGlowacki wrote:I do not know.

Jeez, tell us how you really feel...Konata wrote:This isn't a "Year 2038" problem, it's a "Linux developers are dumb as bricks" problem, every other Unix hardened against this about a decade before Linux did, and of course Windows has always used 64-bit time.
I love it when the world panics over Linux being garbage, you'd think they'd learn by now. At least Sony did the right thing using FreeBSD for the PS4.
