Malicious Life Podcast: The Y2K Bug Pt. 2

The transcript recounts the history and responses to the Y2K computer bug, centering on Bob Bemer’s advocacy and proposed fixes (notably "Bigits"/Vertex 2000), the large-scale remediation efforts worldwide, anecdotal failures and minor glitches on 1/1/2000, and reflections on prevention politics. It contrasts opinions about whether Y2K was an overhyped panic or a problem averted by massive coordinated work, and draws a parallel to the upcoming Y2038 timekeeping issue as a future, unresolved technical risk.
