Lots of stuff in the news how things could go wrong and it could be the end of civilization. Because of all the scaremongering however there was enough money to go around to fix all critical systems.
In the end only minor things happened, like a library charging people 100 years of interest on their late fees. It could've been a lot worse. Banks charging 100 years of interest were avoided, no infrastructure went down. But the checks and fixes done were needed. Some computers in production systems would just brick themselves when the date was set to 2000.
Then after new year came the comments of people complaining that all the money was spent and nothing happened.
Can't wait for Y2K38!
And everybody trying to get AI to fix the issue
