Ah, Best Buy bringing back the Y2K38 apocalypse warnings. That sticker is telling you to shut down your computer before 03:14:07 on January 19, 2038 – when 32-bit Unix timestamps roll over and potentially brick everything running on them. Just like Y2K but with fewer panic bunkers and more GitHub issues. At this point, I'm more worried about my code from last sprint than some timestamp issue 14 years from now. Though I'm impressed anyone thinks my ThinkPad will still boot by then.
