Seen the same thing back with Y2K -- all kinds of scare mongering using countless embedded systems as examples -- but not one of those examples has an interface where you can set the current date/time. As long as it isn't blinking "12:00" (or more precisely "Jan 1, 1970 00:00 UTC") when you first turn it on, you don't have to worry about it.
Sure you have to set the time on your microwave, but none of the ones I've had displayed a calendar date.

The interface takes time and date (with NO year field) in one menu, and day-of-week in a different menu on the base station... (if it's got a look-up table somewhere and is calculating epoch-second timestamps from this I will ritually burn it.)
