These are all well understood consequences of time dilation.
“It’s a countdown.”
Your laptop has abeen “over clocked” for speed and efficiency.
Does your gamer-grandson have access to your device?
These are all well understood consequences of time dilation.
LOL, I fully expect someone to make a joke out of this plea for help on your part, just to keep it in character...:)
sounds like a glitch in the matrix
Wow! The next time my kid starts complaining about his problems I’ll relate your story. I bet you miss that whole big hand little hand thing.
Diversity. All you gadgets have different opinions about the time.
A Navy Seal walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.
He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his new Apple watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, “Is your date running late?”
“No,” he replies, “just got this state-of-the-art Apple watch, and I was just testing it.”
The intrigued woman says, “A state-of-the-art watch? What’s so special about it?”
He says, “It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.”
The lady says, “What’s it telling you now?”
“Well, it says you’re not wearing any panties.”
The woman giggles and replies, “Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!”
The Navy man smirks, taps his watch and says, “Darn thing’s an hour fast.”
My sync is full of dishes. š
Rush is just f ing with you
Were they ever in sync?
You can set your computer's time - so why don't you re-set it?
Regards,
For my part, I admit to some hesitancy to engage a thread dealing with “strange stuff” about “my equipment.”
Perhaps Laz can explain...
I’m trying to figure out why my computer makes a tone
when I open my refrigerator door.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Maybe ask Leonid & Friends.
You want to hear strange?
Someone turns on a particular fluorescent light in another room.
When they go to turn it off, my right monitor goes black.
5 seconds later it comes back on.
Each of the devices is probably keeping time with its own “software clock” (the pc also has a hardware clock that is more accurate and it updates the software clock from time to time). Mobile devices probably check some server to get the time occasionally and update their software clock to the correct time. But in between updates, you’ll see these little variances build up.
Even if all of your devices get their time from the same source they can be out of synch due to network and server latency.
Four different devices may have four completely different ways to communicate time to your devices.
One goes through Denver, Beijing, Tokyo, an NSA data monitoring center in Utah, and then to your device.
Another goes through Chicago, two NSA data monitoring centers, and then to your device.
Yet another goes through Frankfurt, Mumbai, the NSA, and then to your device.
The last one goes through Mexico City, Singapore, the NSA, Chinese intelligence, Facebook, and then to your device.
Each path has a different route for the data and if you know about ping rates and traceroute you can prove this to yourself.
