Wow, I know Google knows a lot about me, but apparently it can predict that I'll use Telegram on March 15, 2016 at 4:53 AM!

(Either that, or my phone briefly had a very incorrect time setting.)



I don't understand this comment. "predict" "March 15, 2016". It's already 4 months past that date.


Whoops! It actually said 2061 but my fingers autocorrected that for me :/


That (or rather, 2061), is 2^32 seconds from an epoch date of 1925. I'm not familiar with any systems that use 1925 as epochs.

For Unix, it's Jan 1, 1970.

For DOS, I believe it's Jan 1, 1900, though with a leap-year error (there is a Feb 29, 1900 included that shouldn't be).

For SAS (statistical software), it's Jan 1, 1960.

Apple should use the Unix Epoch.

Curious.


Strange, I also have an entry from March 13, 2061.
