But you could feasibly have conversion that crashes a system.
Say a log is generated and prefixes the entries by a padded unix timestamp. The field is padded to length 9, so after y2k1 the unsigned integer math specifies to prepend -1 = 232 - 1 spaces
That’s not how computers work, though. They use binary so they care more about binary digits rather than decimal digits.
Very old systems store numbers with a fixed number of digits, but those systems don’t use Unix time.
