Monotonic and Wall Clock Time in the Go Time Package

Monotonic and Wall Clock Time in the Go time package Modern operating systems usually keep track of two kinds of clocks: a wall clock and a monotonic clock. The wall clock is the “real-world” clock that shows calendar dates and times, like UTC or your local time. This clock can be adjusted for synchronization (for example, using NTP) or manually changed by system administrators. It can also suddenly jump due to daylight saving time or leap seconds. Note NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a standa

You can now easily buy a Switch 2 without jumping through hoops

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2025-12-31 15:00:00

Perhaps we’ve been thinking the same thing, you and I. That there won’t be a long-standing drought of Nintendo Switch 2 availability after all. The console has been easy to buy online from several retailers this week, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Amazon, which didn’t sell the Switch 2 at launch, is currently selling it by invitation only. The console’s messy preorder process and spotty launch availability made it feel a little like late 2020 all over again, when the PlayStation 5, X

Tesla Sold Its Bitcoin at Pretty Much the Worst Moment Imaginable

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-31 20:17:07

Talk about a missed opportunity. Horrible Timing Tesla massively missed the mark in the second quarter of this year, conceding this week that its automotive revenue fell a whopping 16 percent from last year, on top of last quarter's financial woes. As sales continue to plummet worldwide, the Elon Musk-led EV maker could really use a lifeline in the form of billions of cash. But as CNBC reports, its digital asset investments likely won't be the solution. Tesla boasted in its investor deck th

Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Watch 4 Leaks Just Spoiled Google’s Whole Party

The faucet for Google leaks is on, and no one is home.

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic Review: The Squircle

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-12-31 20:00:00

For the length of our tenure at WIRED, editor Julian Chokkattu and I have differed on one significant point: He prefers the circular face of the Pixel Watch, while I counter by saying that you can see more text on a square Apple Watch. It is clear to me that Samsung has somehow learned of this debate from afar (ChatGPT, is that you?), which has resulted in this … well, the “squircle” design. It is neither a square nor a circle, but both? Samsung refers to this as its “cushion” design. The cushi

Google has suspended the account of phone surveillance operator Catwatchful, which was using the tech giant’s servers to host and operate the monitoring software. Google’s move to shut down the spyware operation comes a month after TechCrunch alerted the technology giant the operator was hosting the operation on Firebase, one of Google’s developer platforms.

Galaxy Watch 8 users are roasting Samsung over this awkward charging flaw

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 owners complain it won’t charge properly on Samsung’s wireless charging pad. The issue stems from the curved default strap, which prevents the watch from lying flat on the Wireless Charger Duo.

Mysterious Whale Makes a 17,000,000% Profit on a 14-Year-Old Bitcoin Bet
