Y2K... turned out to be a nothing burger because programmers like my husband worked relentless overtime to stop it from happening... the bug was very real in heavy industry (he programs industrial scales & automated factories)
be wary of media telling you "nothing to see here!"
reporters mostly don't know beans about industrial tech

I personally made sure the ICCS emergency phone system used by several police forces, ambulance services, fire brigades, and the coastguards did not fail because of #Y2K. Believe me, it would have failed.
