I experience time drift with devices not connected to NTP like cheap stopwatch/microwave clock/etc, but my all my devices connected to NTP stay synced on their own. For example: - my Windows time settings says: "Last successful time synchronization: 3/7/2024..." (This ~41 hours ago and not manually triggered.) - https://time.is/: "Your clock is 0.4 seconds ahead." I'm a little surprised there is a 0.4 second... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

It's my first quartz watch and I love it to bits! Made me realize that the accuracy of a quartz movement is no joke. I knew nothing much about watches until I started this hobby back in September, and I've still got lots to learn! But from the little I've learned so far, lots of videos say how accurate quartz is, but I didn't realize how accurate it was until I was cleaning some of my mechanical watches. Seikos, a...

Was wondering, because I put my mechanical watch and digital correct to the second via time.is , how people years ago had to correct time differences? Source: 7 months ago

I just tested it against https://time.is on my cell phone (using wifi calling because network strength is abysmal where I live). I don't have a precise measurement but it was imperceptibly close, within 100ms probably. Certainly close enough to set a clock for non critical purposes. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Probably a stupid idea, but I'm unsure as to how your medical condition fully works and if you've tried / heard of this one yet: Alarmy, it's an alarm app with a bit of a twist, if enabled, it forces you to either get up or use your brain, either by having you make a picture of a completely random item like a microwave, or use your brain to either do math or remember a sequence and typing it in again, there are a...

Yes - I use an app called Alarmy (https://alar.my/) for a barcode scanner alarm! You have to scan a barcode using your phone to turn the alarm off. Source: over 1 year ago

I use this app called Alarmy. It’s the only thing that has me get up. To turn off the alarm, you have to complete a “mission”. The best/most reliable mission I’ve been able to use has been the barcode reader. I set the alarm to be disabled by needing to scan a shampoo bottle. While I’m in the bathroom I turn on the shower and boom, I’m getting ready. They have a membership but it’s not needed for the feature I... Source: over 1 year ago
