| I don't know about "largely", but I can point to a least one instance where the most week know comedy show at the time in France ("Les guignols") had a bit about how the Y2K bug was a "scam" orchestrated by "Big Tech" to make people buy new computers - given that nothing terrible happened on Y2K. The sketch was a riff about the kindergarten joke : - why do you [insert weird action] ? - to scare the girafes away - but there are no girafes here - of course, I've been [insert weird action here] And I was a software engineering student at the time, and I tried explaining they were missing the point, but I think it will be how we're approached this time. So, I think nothing will be done, or not enough, and bugs will happen in 12 years. But, thankfully, all our computers will have been replaced to allow running js. |
