Did you actually read the page? |
Yes I read it. I just don't think its going to be a problem come 2038. Even the legacy systems will probably be updated by then. Nothing will be using 32-bit anything by then, that's my prediction. If there are businesses and governments using technology from the 70's-90's by 2038 they deserve to have system failures lol I don't think this is going to be a problem.
