Some GPS receivers may malfunction on or after April 6

If you rely on GPS then make a note of 6 April 2019 in your calendar because 
it's the date that the GPS Week Rollover occurs, and it could cause some GPS 
receivers to malfunction.

Fun fact: GPS uses 10 bits to store the week. That means it runs out... oh heck
