    Me too!

    Although someone (steam maybe? I don’t remember) updated their system and won’t take it anymore. So now it’s 1930-01-01.

    You should try it. It’s like I’m 30 years younger!

      Born just in time to not be able to be a nazi!

      Yes, I know the Hitler Youth existed…but I don’t hold that against those (at the time) children. They were being conditioned to support a system they didn’t understand.

      I figure anyone younger than 20 is too young to be blamed for all that crap. The brain stops developing at age 23. So I don’t expect an 8 year old to hold a very good grasp on international politics and wars. Especially in an age where an hour nightly AM radio broadcast, and a daily morning newspaper were your only source for news.

        No it doesn’t. The brain continues to develop and change throughout the lifetime of the organism.

    The tech nerds should be setting theirs to 1970-01-01 at 00:00 UTC.

        That’s the Unix Epoch. The time and date in Linux and Unix is the number of seconds since then.

        That’s the default time set when the CMOS battery is dead and the RTC is reset.
