Where does my computer get the time from? – Tony Finch
This week I was in Rotterdam for a RIPE meeting. On Friday morning I gave a lightning talk called where does my computer get the time from? The RIPE meeting website has a copy of my slides and a video of the talk; this is a blogified low-res version of the slides with a rough and inexact transcript.
Hasnain says:
“I have now run out of layers: before this point, clocks were set more straightforwardly by watching stars cross the sky
so, to summarise my talk, where does my computer get the time from?
it does not get it from the Royal Greenwich Observatory!”
