>French satellite operator Eutelsat failed to account for last year’s leap year, leading to an embarrassing service outage that lasted for 48 hours.
Nothing to do with SpaceX but it does mean Gizmondo gets to put the words *“SpaceX’s Starlink Goes Dark After Failing to Account for Leap Year“* in the SEO.

I’m still wondering what kind of programming error doesn’t account for *leap years* in the year 2024 of the Common Era
Time is hard, really, really hard, for programmers. I mean *really* hard.
There are a thousand ways to mess up and your mistakes will be immediately visible when the time (!!) comes.
That is beyond pathetic. .
I’m sure they’ll get it fixed. Just give them a little time.
Why is there an Indian flag on the satellite pictured in the article if it’s French operator?
