lol reminds me of the windows 95 crash bug after 49.7 days. Have we learned nothing. https://pipiscrew.github.io/posts/why-window/

I was just trying to remember where did I last see this magic number of days.

The article does mention a few instances found over the years, including the windows one. That’s the one I remember though because we used to joke it was not a big deal - the only way for a windows 95 computer to reach 49 days of uptime is if it’s literally not doing anything or being used in any way. Windows 95 would crash if you looked at it funny.
