And as long as they get updated, it’ll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn’t care about the date

It uses Google’s speech to text. As far as you can tell it is a recorded message saying that it’s Google’s call screening system and to give your name and why you’re calling and voice to text to tell you what they say
Then when you hang up it says goodbye to them.
I think the product that was supposed to be AI was the booking assistant
On pixel phones the Android assistant can filter calls for you
It’s surprising when people follow the machine’s instructions and state who they are and why they are calling. It’s not a menu system, but it gets maybe the best 30% of the effect

There are even enough mainstream distros to let you choose one that meets your needs with little or nothing you need to trim

It appears to work by matching the path your finger traces to likely words, it also works if you’re slightly off the letters
The biggest problems are errors like “if” and “of” that start right next to each other and finish the same, it also capitalises anything that is also a name and you need to select the uncapitalised version from the suggestions row

I believe the post inspired dkarma to work out that brand new argument that there are no alien bodies (at area 51 probably) because the aliens would use drones
Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out
Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don’t know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses
