It is unclear for timezones behind UTC. If you are in UTC+1, the leap second happens at 1 am, so the countdown would be over: no fun here. If on the other hand you are in UTC-1, the leap second happens at 11 pm, so if the countdown clocks are not corrected for the leap second, friends can still be annoyed.
- suanmeiguo 10y agoEither way, your friends will be annoyed..
- Dylan16807 10y agoWhat clock is set that precisely, hasn't drifted since being set, and won't pick up the correction by itself?
- tspiteri 10y agoA GPS watch without a firmware update to handle the latest leap second?
- Dylan16807 10y agoGPS announces leap seconds well in advance.
