Yeah it's funny cause I recently made a post regarding my atomic synced watch on !watches@lemmy.ml. They're pretty accurate. Though for my situation, I think I might test syncing outside to see if I can get lower latency.

Radio controlled clocks exist. Not everything needs to be connected to the internet.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

The watch would be radio controlled so the delay wouldn't be determined by the network infrastructure but by the interference in the air. The watch's stopwatch can do split second 1/100 so surely it is precise enough. I'm leaning towards this being an issue of interference.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah from my napkin calculations from distance from colorado to los angeles, I would get a time delay of 0.0045 seconds using the speed of light. But let's say for the sake of interference and curvature of the earth stuff, we double that number, you would get 0.009. With that number, I still won't notice that delay by much. So I wonder why I'm getting like 0.25 seconds of delay which is a significantly large number. It makes me want to get several atomic clock devices to see if it's an issue with the watch or my environment. I doubt the watch is the issue though since I trust Casio's QC is very good, so it must be my setup.

Wow this is a wonderful comment. Thank you so much. This is probably the best it's gonna get unless I get a bluetooth smartwatch type thing, which I'm not going to do.

However, could you explain why from my napkin calculations earlier today, where I used the the speed of radio waves, which from what I learned, is close to the speed of light, I got around .0045 seconds from colorado to the area of los Angeles. Yet from comparing my watch up against another screen with time.gov and time.is, I can visibly tell that it's much greater than that, something like maybe 1/4 of a second off. Is it because of interference? What could cause this big jump in numbers?

I have turned this card over, now I'm staring at the back of my phone.

Where the heck did this person get a tie shaped piece of wood?

It's a sub on Sopuli.xyz. You can still subscribe to it on your own instance since we're all federated.

Some conservative tried explaining it and I recall she basically settled it being defined as critical thinking.

I don't want to spend a fortune and so I'm deciding to do classic recurve over olympic since it's much more cheap. What do you guys recommend to try out? The closest archery place has this kit for $300, should I go with it or pick and choose other stuff individually to start out?

Apparently my cousin's best friend works marketing for Squid Industries and is Lucas's gf. So they sent me some stickers and some other goodies. Thanks Ashley!

From to school to school it could either be in the Engineering college or Science college. Some say it's a Math.

Is having it in a different college going to affect how you're going to be taught? I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona and comp sci there is located in the college of science but at Cal State Long Beach it's in the college of engineering. Does this matter and how?

So I'm looking for ThinkPad alternatives, so far I've see repairable laptops like the Framework laptop and the Tuxedo linux laptops. What other choices do I have if I want a tough, reliable, and utilitarian computer?

I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

So the thing with Debian and any Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is there is no big centralized software repo like the AUR. Yes there is the apt repository but if you want something that's not in there, get ready to read the documentation or follow random guides.

For example, one of my friends wanted to download an audio tool called Reaper. On Windows this is just looking up the application and clicking on the .exe. It really depends on the dev if they include a .deb, sometimes you might need to download the .sh file or they may tell you to compile it yourself. Perhaps, you have to add a ppa. On Arch, all I have to do is Paru -S Reaper, if there are multiple Reapers I can look for that by typing Paru Reaper.

Now that Arch is so easy to install with the Archscript, and the software repo so vast and easy to use, is Debian really user friendly if you have to jump through several hoops to download programs?

Edit: yeah yeah there's flathub and stuff but that's more of a last resort, optimally, you want to get it the correct way.

Alright. What's the lore behind all the jean memes?

There's a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers.

It targets low-income young adults ages 16 through 24. Check it out, share it around to people who need it. It seems pretty unknown.
