GPS Devices May Stop Working on April 6

[Phillip Coetser]

Hi all, this article (https://www.pcmag.com/news/366521/your- ... utosuggest) could spell disaster for Gps users, if this happens, and I quote...
Remember the Y2K bug? It didn't turn out to be the disaster everyone predicted, but come April 6 this year, we could be facing a similar disaster, only this time it's GPS devices rather than computers that may grind to a halt.
As The Register reports, the problem stems from the fact,that GPS signals include a timestamp and part of the timestamp is a week number stored as ten binary bits. Ten bits allows it to store 1,024 weeks before it resets, which means the reset happens after roughly 20 years. On April 6, that reset happens, potentially causing GPS devices around the world to stop working.
