Forums - General - Why don't digital clocks..."stay put"?

Not all clocks use the same interval measurement for 1 second. The difference is usually very tiny, but on a long enough timeline, the differences become ridiculously apparent. My PS2 especially gets de-synched very fast, usually by a full 2 seconds per day.

Soriku, that happens with all clock. There are clocks that use vibrating piece of quartz to measure seconds. Certain number of vibrations = a second. Or something like that.

There are different ways to measure a second, not just quartz, there are atomic clocks too (those are the most precise I think). There are several factors that can affect the precision of a clock.



hahah i cant stop laughing at the "wat" pic.
Is there a site where you get those pics?
I seem to see a lot of those pics with similar templates.
