I had a VCR-embedded-on-a-CRT that borked itself, because its calendar only goes to 2020. It merrily reset itself to the year of its production, 1990, and kept on chugging. If it worked, you'd just need to sync it up to the leap year...

Right. In many (not all) cases it's very possible to just say "the date on that machine is wrong, ignore it" and just get on with your life.
