Yes, and you can thank an army of computer programmers working on it for a decade for it being nothing.

I know. I was one of them. I did Y2K remediation research and resolution for several companies. If we’d done nothing it would have actually been catastrophic. A couple of guys I worked with actually bought property out in the sticks because they didn’t think we’d fix it all in time.

“Y2K was as it turned out was a lot of hype over nothing.”

Almost, but not quite nothing. There were at least two things. The Pentagon was being refurbished and a data recording system on a power distribution system did not turn over right. However, the data was not necessary for operation and was not being collected or used for anything. The issue may or may not have been corrected or the unit may not have survived 9/11.

I don’t remember what the other thing was.

You are clueless.
