Recently there was another time shift. This time it was from a winter
time to the summer time (oops, too much mentions of "time" in just one
sentence!) so we lost one hour of sleep.
Obviously, everyone is a bit sleepy this week (including myself).
And my electronic gadgets dislike the shift ever more. As usual, most
of Linux devices handle the change automatically (usually thanks to the
NTP, I thing). Even the Pebble smartwatch changed the time without my
intervention. (but it is not a Linux device, of course)
My SGI O2 uses the NTP, too so there was no problem.
Older devices, however, can't do this so easily. All Palms a nd Psions
have to be updated manually (no advantage over mechanical watches
here). Even the Palm Centro needed to be updated manually no matter
that there was something like "update time and date manually" in the
Prefs.
I was a bit unsure how to change time on my Seiko DATA 2000 watch.
Fortunately it can be done with buttons of the watch (there is no
reason to attach their keyboard). One just need to read the manual to
know which button have to be pressed in which order.
I have no idea about Android devices as I haven't needed to turn on any
of them so far.
