Topic: Depressing thought, but...

We are about 115 days closer to Chumby's ultimate demise than we are to its premier on August 25, 2006.

(Chumby is affected by the Y2K38 bug, and I'm assuming that seeing a fix for it isn't too likely, but I could be wrong....)

First world problems, I suppose, though still sad to think about.

Re: Depressing thought, but...

Yeah, I guess it would actually be a good problem to have if any Chumbys were to be still running in 2038.

To fix this would probably require porting a 5.X version of Linux, since that's when this was fixed for 32-bit processors.

Maybe some AI will take on the project smile

I plan on keeping mine around for as long as I can... maybe I'll still be rocking my Pebble smartwatch in 2038 too! (I seem to be really good at choosing products/companies that are destined for an untimely demise roll)

After the battery in my smart watch started to die,  I decided to go retro and got an 80s style Casio

Maybe if my Chumby's die then I'll replace it with my old South Park alarm clock...
