Why does the timestamp on the video say December 31st 2012?
- krasin 14y agoI have also seen videos of this event dated by January 1970. The explanation is silly: most of the drivers don't care to set the correct date on their dashcams.
- tripzilch 14y agoJust like none of them have changed their car radios from the Russian factory default setting of 'generic trance music'.
- barrkel 14y agoFro cheap cams, it's a slight PITA to set the date. For one I know of, it forgets the date if it loses all power, and the date is set by putting a special text file in the root directory of its storage.

- ErikAugust 14y agoEverything interesting seems to happen right after the UNIX epoch.
- xxpor 14y agoOr if you're in America, right before :)
- ErikAugust 14y agoIt'd be funny in Back to the Future if something reset and Doc and Marty went back to December 31, 1969.
