The time isn’t exact. I don’t know why it drifts, they should be able to use the GPS signal, but I have two devices, one with an alarm, and another with a notification that goes off at the same time. They’re never more than a second apart, but which one goes off first changes.
Comment on There's more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second.

Probably moreso in the past 10 years as more and more people moved to using their smart phone as an alarm which has exact time unlike our bedside clocks which had a couple minutes of range depending on when you set it.

The year is 2071. You wake up to a dull vibration from your neuralink chip. Strange, its 2am.
You dont realize it, but a power failure and faulty CMOS battery on a server somewhere has caused a server to reboot with the wrong BIOS time. Before NTP gets a chance to update the internal clock, the server sends out what it thinks is a massive backlog of alarm triggers, waking almost every sleeping person on the planet simultaneously.
Somewhere in the abyssal zone, the sudden collective pulse of mental energy causes an ancient evil to stir and wake from its million year slumber…

Natural 1. You fall into a coma which is sort of like going back to sleep.

This is what happens when you buy your neuralink on wish.

Is good. I bet we would have some massive power failures as well.
