Can confirm! My company checked the PLCs and production control systems at a large automotive plant. Several systems were vulnerable and had to be fixed. Otherwise the whole plant would have stand still. They have 14000 people, producing 1000+ cars per day.

We also had a development project running that had a hard start date on 2000-01-03. Hard as in „if it doesn’t work right away, the penalty would ruin our customer in days“. We also rolled the clock forward, passed 1999-12-23 23:23:59 several times, produced virtually into the future, including reports and stuff. It worked from the start.

Funny though: At our new years eve party, we had a Braun radio controlled alarm clock, working on a public broadcast signal (DCF77 in Braunschweig, DE). We watched the seconds hand ticking to midnight - and then it stopped. For seconds! Several IT people held their breath. Then it moved again. Pew. Solution: The sender had transmitted the whole time string. New millenium, etc. That took that clock a while to receive and process.
