Y2K38
The Y2K38 problem, also known as the Year 2038 problem or the Millennium Bug II, is a potential issue with computer systems that could arise on January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC. This problem stems from the way many systems store dates and times.
Many older and even some current computer programs and operating systems use a 32-bit signed integer to
On January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC, the number of seconds since the Unix epoch will exceed
The Y2K38 problem affects systems that rely on this specific 32-bit timestamp representation. This includes older
To mitigate the Y2K38 problem, developers have been encouraged to use 64-bit integers for time representation.
