Every sign has a story, and I am wondering what the one was that lead to this check and error

(from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1AcfyXf108)

This has a very similar vibe to SunOS's PREPOSTEROUS_YEARS being 2021 and above

A windows XP error that says "your computer is set to the year 2514, which will cause windows media player to stop responding, set your computer to the correct date and try again"

@RoganDawes Windows doesnt use that much unix epoch internally from what I remember, but quite possibly!
