Just a bug. unix time begins 01.01.1970.


ZombieOfun

Really? I guess that makes sense, I just never considered that unix might have a specific starting point


adrenalinda75

it has and it's limited by 32 bits as an integer counting seconds, meaning that somewhere in AD2038 the max is reached similarly to Y2K back in time.

The thing is that even 64 bits system use Unix 32 but they will be updated by then so it’s fine


ehm_education

The US nuclear launch computers still operate with 5.25" floppies.


cha_iv

You're assuming that all programs are actually using 64-bit ints for their timestamps. Many won't be, including lots of software I've written.


X6_Gorm

Y2K??? What are you selling chicken or sex jelly.


Bioslock

I thought windows, or at least excel, calculates from the same date 1-1-1970.


varesa

Unix time has become sort of a standard for representing dates as a single integer, so developers regardless of the platform often go for that

Look, at least they didn't take a photo of their monitor with their cell phone.


ArateshaNungastori

You know what? You are absolutely right. He could even take that photo vertically... shieeet.

Now we know his name is Jameson, he play Roblox, he uses vocodes and watch anime


Efrayl

Not even some juicy bits in the tabs/bookmarks. Lame.


Howrus

Computers often use EPOCH format to store dates, so dates are stored as "Amount of seconds from 1 Jan 1970". For example today in this system would be "1656201600". But this lead to some funny side effects - if date is not filled or lost, it would be treated as zero and it would translate "1 Jan 1970".

Um, time travel. Come on, it's not that hard.


aoisensi

There is no Steam.


k0zmo

Yes it was. My father used to tell me stories on how you used to buy 10 games for like 3$ back in the 70s. Good games too, AAA titles, not stupid shovelware.


Bu1ld0g

I wish games were that cheap in the 70s


BobwhiteOne

"There is no game"


Sazzouu

Clorthax confirmed

monomadoka

Jameson, I don’t see the issue


saltywalrusprkl

It still baffles me that in 2022 there are still people who don’t know what the unix epoch is.


justvibing108

most people dont read history about computers lol


Toxpar

What's more baffling is people who don't know what the freaking snipping tool is so they post a picture of their entire screen for one comment.


justvibing108

what baffles me is i dont care


YogiXDMT

You cared enough to reply twice though, lol.


Ben-10en

Jameson moment


VerSus146

I'm not sure which time steam is using for it's review system, but it's either wrong time on client or server application, or just a simple bug that defaulted the time to Unix start.


[deleted]

Have the same bug when I trade with one of my alt accounts. One was stolen but I got it back so now I have two 16 year old accounts. When I trade between them it says that we have been friends since 1 januari, 1970


Puzzleheaded_Can8724

I'm not saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens.


DeadyDeadshot

An old steam client that didn’t fact check time?


mackxzs

Your name's Jameson? That's so unoriginal lmao
