Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don’t know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

And as long as they get updated, it’ll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn’t care about the date

On 32 bit computers

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

You perhaps need to talk to people if you think people now have a high opinion of Elon Musk. His reputation has crashed since he bought Twitter

Now perhaps you’ll still hear space fans singing his praise, but the general position holds no respect for him

You say that as if you would claim that Mr Trump is competent, despite his (presumably age related) mental problems and his complete lack of ability in doing politics

Everything is under control

I’m not in a position to tell if someone can afford to eat. They might look like they’re employed or be dressed expensively, but people can fall on hard times suddenly

So I’m not going to report anyone for anything except crimes against individuals

I think you’d start in Capetown

The idea is protection from crime. You can have the window tilted and thieves theoretically cannot climb in through that window, where a swinging or sliding window while open allows someone to climb in through it

Of course in practice they’re less safe where they’re popular as there is a tool, a hook, which allows someone breaking in to hook the handle, pull the tilted window shut, and open it again in swinging mode, allowing them in

My understanding is sliding windows are the easiest to secure as you can bolt lock them at any point of openness. My sliding windows have bolt points at closed and at 5cm open

With the weather outside today in my Australian town a nice 24°C temperature I have a window at each end of the house open.

At one end of the house the window tilts (bottom out), the window at the other end other slides.

The sliding window has much more space — half of the viewing area — open to the breeze than the tilting

The men who are worried about being hunted for sport have been told too many times that that’s what should happen to them

Yeah, I’m 45ish and I went zero carb to get rid of body fat and bad health. The common diet is fucking us up.

You’re doing it wrong then. Life can be fun. It can be fun for not just years, but decades
