@th uh, I don’t know quite how to say this. You may want to go back to sleep for another 30-ish years.
@realcaseyrollins @th You need to install Eckhart Köppen’s Y2010 package. There is one specifically for the #eMate.

@th funny, i just looked that up myself for my new MessagePad and found the same. y2k10 problem!
@th AFAIK there’s a patch for that: https://40hz.org/Pages/newton/patches/patch73j186/
@th (or is this another bug?)
@th there is some truth in that …
@th
I'm not sure 2024 is a real year.
I bought my Newton in the 1990s. Surely a quarter of a century cannot have passed since then?
@th same little cyber buddy, same.
@th we neither
@th it also thinks the week starts on monday, which is some bullshit at scale
@cibomahto @th starting the week on monday means centering your sense of time around the working week and makes the term "week-end" meaningless
instead consider starting your week on primidi
@phooky @cibomahto isn't ending the week on Saturday and Sunday the definition of "week end"?
@th @cibomahto No, because a week has two ends or none and I will not be accepting any groundhogs day bullshit on this
@phooky @th @cibomahto By that logic a marathon has two ends, too: one end at the start and one end at the end.
@pburka @th @cibomahto I wish swatch would have just settled this in the 90s by introducing swatch weats
@th Same thing with macOS 7.
@th good reminder to give my Message Pad 2100 at home a soft hug and celebrate the fact that it runs on standard AA batteries.

@th it’s SO cute!
Unfortunately Apple’s Newton OS doesn’t believe that “2024” is a real year.
