My -born stepson is now concerned that his birthday is going to gradually disappear from the calendar over the next four million years

EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!


I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.

My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.

Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is. 😂

Things that broke because of leap day:

Imagine the mayhem that will ensue should we ever get a negative leap second

Have these Feb 29 problems always been a thing? (Not that I recall?) Or is it some anecdotal sign of our engineering practices deteriorating?

Year 2024. #LeapDay still causes issues to #Azure.
Noticed that #paloalto data sent to #Sentinel via #AMA during 29th was logged with TimeReceived as 1st of March. Issue doesn’t happen if you use old #MMA / #OMS agent.

I think they published these shitty opinions on on purpose so they'll be harder to search for in future years

Today is Leap Day, a fake day is you will. Let's celebrate by sharing something positive that has happened and/or a win you've had recently.

12 years ago, we spent 24 hours at and for the event. It was tiring but so much fun. Full trip report at the link below.

When can we do this again?

Folks born on February 29th only get to celebrate on their actual birthday once every four years. So today is a very special day for them. If you know one, help them celebrate.

Today, February 29, every four years, Leap Day William emerges from the Mariana Trench to trade children’s tears for candy. The city of Boston celebrates with a Leap Day William parade, a citywide ice maze, and wearing blue and yellow (30 Rock, s06e09 “Leap Day”, 2006)
