The Register: Fun fact: GPS uses 10 bits to store the week. That means it runs out... oh heck – April 6, 2019
tl;dr: GPS uses a 10-bit number to track the week, which is necessary to understand the signal from the satellites. It's about to rollover again (the last time this happened was in 1999), so patch your GPS or have an expensive paperweight.
