With the 2024 CrowdStrike Incident on July 19, 2024 (due to a misconfigured file that caused Windows computers to BSOD) are we looking a preview of the Year 2038 Bug (Unix 32 bit clock overflow error (think Unix Windows Y2k)?

How many devices haven't been updated when 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038 will cause them to error out? How many embed devices are out there?
