that's actually bullshit. there would have been a lot of delays and inconveniences without the tweaks, but no end of the world scenario. the tech spending that went into y2k hysteria is how we got the tech bubble that nearly destroyed the economy when it burst until the fed stepped in and real estate became the bubble. and now tech again because of ai bullshit.   almost as if the solution is to teach young people cobol? nah, that gets in the way of the planned obsolescence that is the lifeblood of the entire tech industry.
