adding a little more chaos to the world by trying to browse with a UA that calls itself

Mozilla/9.0 (Windows NT 17.2; Win128; x192) Firefox/230.0

and makes all requests using HTTP 5.0 before falling back to HTTP 2.0 when your poor server doesn't support my future tech

In a similar vein, after getting tired of Telegram asking me to add my birthday to my account, I set it to the day just before the Unix epoch. I doubt they save it in a way it would be a negative number, but I still think it's funny

What's funny about that? That's literally how unix timestamps are supposed to work.

Next time, try 1901-12-12.

Also, some systems don't care at all. When Steam wants me to verify my age, I always use February 31st.

The spec actually does allow for storing it as a signed number? I didn't realize. Though it makes sense. Would 1901 be far enough back that it would be like the 2038 problem on the early end of the date range?

@chocobo13 @foone
Of course it uses signed numbers, it was designed in the 1970'es (or late 60'es), how do you think they stored things that occurred in the past? Also, if it used unsigned, 2038 would be the middle, not the upper limit.

The lower limit is 1901-12-13, so the 12th is just outside the limit.
