    On 18 Dec 2020, August Abolins said the following...
    On a semi-related note, I found out that both of my iPods will
    be useless for date related things once 2038 rolls around. I
    may still keep them for playing music, podcasts and some
    videos - or maybe I'll expire before then! :/


    Are all of these date issues BIOS related?

    Hallo Denis!

    Is it Vtor 12 Janvar 2021,

    Febuary. I am not sure what it would be in ascii russian characters so we'll have to settle for english ... for now. In the corrected form (numeric) it would be 2021-02-12. I think that format is the best.

    YYYY-MM-DD is the best format to read, store and sort (!) dates in strings, IMHO.

    Hallo Anton!

    YYYY-MM-DD is the best format to read, store and sort (!) dates
    in strings, IMHO.

    I couldn't agree more but would like to add to the above that they are far more universally accepted and understood than any other datetime format for both computers and humans.

    Interesting. That also happens to be my wife's birthday.
