@gregkh a guestimate, how many if this kind of kernel fixes for hardware bugs do you think there is in the kernel? Would you say they are too "common"?

wagi@mastodon.social@gregkh though doesn't seem to future proof according the comment "will work up to 2381" ;)

@gregkh They just decided to add an extra day to November (edit: instead of fixing what I assume the calendar is in firmware)? How common is this?

@grimthorpe @wagi @gregkh Good catch! I think 2381 will be the year when the difference is more than a year? 2016 + 365. So it looks like it's accurate up to the year where the years are still the same, and will be inaccurate at the point they differ.

wagi@mastodon.social@aspragg @grimthorpe @gregkh haven't look at the details, but 2381 can't clearly be right, there a few years between now and then which have more than 365 days. Printing used to be a hard problem. We solved this by ditching them. Maybe we should ditch calendars as well :)
