• Ask HN: Why are modern devices so terrible at accurate timekeeping?

  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 / 4 months ago

• [Timex] Q Marmont 1975 Reissue, love at first sight!

  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...

• [Question] How did people keep track of time in the early 1900's?

  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: 9 months ago

• Canada Abruptly Ends Official Time Signal

  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 / 9 months ago

• Is rving family friendly

  Consider taking a trip in a rental, like outdoorsy.com to see how your family does in a given RV. Sure it is expensive, but could save you from dropping over $100k on a machine you need to maintain and store and regret having. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any tips for how to shoestring campervan/RV rental in the US or on alternatives?

  Outdoorsy.com, or craigslist... Prob is going to be the miles. How about a U haul van, just say you are moving across the country... Seeing all the parks might be a stretch on that budget. Consider doing 1-2 regions, like the west/southwest.. Midwest/south. Less miles and you will see plenty. Frankly, the driving from monument to monument sucks... like sucks for days...

• looking for some advice attending The Gorge show in Seattle!

  We rented through Escape camper vans! It seemed to be the easiest/cheapest. outdoorsy.com is another one. Rent America is another one, but they are more RVs and a little pricier. Source: over 1 year ago

• looking for some advice attending The Gorge show in Seattle!

  You can look on outdoorsy.com (renting directly from owners) but we went through escape camper vans. Theyre 5 miles north from the airport so we will scoop the van and head to the Gorge! Source: over 1 year ago

• Campervan vs Car n tent/mattress

  There are camper van rental places similar to Airbnb, like outdoorsy.com or RVshare.com. Outdoorsy offers discounts for 7+ days or 30+ days. You could fly to your start point and have the RV waiting for you at the airport. Source: over 1 year ago
