The mistake was pushing it on Friday morning like a bunch of amateurs, they’re supposed to push it out scheduled on Friday at 5:03PM so you have enough time to get to your car and off the parking lot

Was about 3pm here /cries in Australian

We regularly get screwed over during business hours by things being pushed out overnight in the US/UK

AFAIK it was a Thursday night push for people in US mountain time / pacific time. But, that ends up being Friday early morning in Europe and Friday mid-day in Asia.

Y2K would have been CRTs. But it’s not like kids will know that.

Hey we had flat screens back then, they just took up the whole floor space and it took 2 people to move those projection TVs

Laptops also had LCDs. Just don’t move your mouse too fast or the screen can’t keep up and it’ll disappear

You’re thinking of passive matrix displays. Those were the cheaper option but active matrix screens did exist.

Maybe even split-flap displays, or printed advertisements

No, no, no. It’s clearly a city since the photo is flight info boards. Clearly he means Dallas Tort Worth, it’s a little tiny place unlike its bigger brother DFW.
