I was feeling the same, about the only thing I have using 32bit userspace these days are a few rPIs, little bit early to be panicking they may suffer from the Y2038 bug, most companies waited to about 6 months before the Y2K bug was going to hit before they started caring.
- alkonaut 5y agoIf you spend large amounts of money today, fixing a system that is later decommissioned in 2029 or 2032… you wasted a lot of money. The correct play could very well be to wait to the last second and pay absurd money for scarce experts to fix the systems.
- DarkmSparks 5y agoThe correct play is surely to be the scarce expert available at the last second.

They're the primary place to worrying about. Especially if you're talking about industrial processes.
