Ask HN: Where to report Y2K22 Gmail bug?
I ordered something from a major supplier to be delivered in the next few days, expecting January 7th (07/01/22) [DD/MM/YYYY], but Gmail seems to be parsing the delivery date as July 1st in the top info/header block? They know my timezone and region, this isn't an overseas order and the full physical address is in the email body.
If big tech can't even parse dates correctly taking in different context, how can we trust them with harder problems like self-driving vehicles?

- petee 5y agoGmail can't know what date format was intended by the sender, so its possible that in an attempt to correctly display your region's format it did just the opposite. Does it usually display dates properly for you? And the ? support icon at the top of the screen has a Send Feedback, although I have no proof they actually read those.
- sexy_seedbox 5y agoThere's shipping/delivery address addressed to me, I'd say it's easily parsed if Gmail bothered to scan the email body text properly. I've tried that (?) support link with adding a screenshot in their other services reporting bugs (like Google Search Console), no idea if anybody reads them but I'll give it a go.
