Jokes on you. My power is so unstable that I’m just waiting for the next power out to reset all the clocks to the correct time.
Fucking finally!

Here’s to hoping that it happens right at midnight for ya! :-D

I absolutely refuse to change time on any of my analog clocks. I hate daylight savings with passion.
ExFed@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I display a clock at work that I proudly label as “Standard Time” year-round. Screw daylight stealings.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
well I for one have been dreading this day because now the clock in my car will be wrong for 6 months.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Daylight Savings lasts for 8 months, so it’s better to not change your clocks during the winter time
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Whoah you’re right, it’s 8/4 not 6/6 😬
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I fucking hate dst so much. I wish we could do away with it.

None in Arizona! It’s awesome!

Yeah but you have to live in Arizona.

Oh nooo… I guess my alarm clock will be one hour off again for the next half year
ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Same, or until the next power outage. And then they will be wrong by who knows how much for a week or two until I set them.

This is the conversation via text I had with my wife yesterday morning:
Her: I’ll get [my daughter] up.
Me: Not until 10.
Her: Time change.
Me: [looking directly at the clock on my computer] It’s 9:30.
Her: Did time go backwards?
Me: No. It feels like 8:30. That’s why the dogs got up at 7 instead of 6.
Her: Sigh. I’m so confused.
hypertown@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Daylight savings are so stupid. Savings are actually minimal and it’s bad for your health. If everyday you wake up at 7 your body will wake up without an alarm, now wake up at 6 because it’s a new 7. I’m sure you will wake up no problem. Now we will change it every 6 months so you will always need alarm. God! I hate it!

All of this iot shit, and all we really need is the ability for everything to just use an ntp server.
throwwyacc@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
I wonder if we could set up all your devices to get that data from something like radio/Bluetooth. Then have your router/small device just send out the time from ntp and all your devices can just accept the message
That way you don’t need an internet connected microwave
grue@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If you’re going to make your device capable of setting its clock via radio, then it wouldn’t need to get its time from your router because it could just receive the signal straight from the atomic clock at NIST.
son_named_bort@lemmy.world 8 months ago
All my appliances flash 12:00. At least they’ll be correct twice a day.
Bitflip@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Just flip the breaker at noon
ickplant@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I like you.
jadedwench@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I feel so heard. I refused to change mine last time, so now they are all “officially” correct.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
My car has the correct time again! I just said fuck it and decided that IDGAF and let it keep the standard time when it was Fall back.
I feel justified in my laziness today
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
My car as a separate clock on the dash and one on the nav screen. I keep them a hour apart and just attend to the correct one depending on the time of year. If you think this is insane, maybe think about how insane it is that we still do this dst bullshit at all and vote for politicians like those in Mexico that are willing to drop this shit. I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.
Garbanzo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.
But maybe we could reach a point where the clocks update every night so instead of shifting an hour at a time twice per year we can shift 20 seconds per day. I haven’t put much thought into this but I think it’s the next best solution after leaving the god damned clocks alone.
Verat@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
But doesnt fall back put us into standard time? We are in DST now.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
I hate it either way
snooggums@midwest.social 8 months ago
We just switched to daylight saving, which happens during the summer. You kept it on saving time, not standard time, when you didn’t change it in the fall.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I used to be like that. Then at some point, time became a part of my job and now because of this stupid government, I spent 15 minutes stress-running around fixing everything twice a year.
cmrn@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My car battery went dead the day before the time change. I was so close.
AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Daylight savings is what caused it in the first place. Screw daylight savings.
Zink@programming.dev 8 months ago
Screw the switch anyway. I think I’d like it if we made daylight saving time just be permanent, instead of staying on winter hours year round.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 months ago
It’s the cooker that gets me. I end up just switching it off and on at midnight because fuck knows how you’re supposed to set it.
polip@lemm.ee 8 months ago
But now you’re running early since you mentally shave an hour off out of habit.
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
I can finally successfully rsync my phone over network instead of MTP!
summerof69@lemm.ee 8 months ago
If only. They are falling behind with time.
henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 months ago
My wife prefers the madness of memorizing the offset of the displayed time versus the current time. It’s not even an integer number of hours. It’s just some random value since the last power outage.
ickplant@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My sincere condolences on being married to a mad person.
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Perhaps some flowers and chocolate will help?
bstix@feddit.dk 8 months ago
My wife set the clocks ahead of time, because she knows we’re always late.
We’re always late because she thinks we have to go, because she sets the clocks ahead of time.
I guess she has to make up.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
This valueable observation will help you differentiate her from an AI imposter at some point as the AI imposter would get stuck in an infinite loop with this type of behavior.
Serinus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Might as well start using GMT. At least you’ll get some value out of that.
dantheclamman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I know time is relative but that’s going a bit too far
