Cloud based clock.
Don't you mean NTP? We've had this technology for years! If it's connected to the internet, it's a pretty fundamental piece of pretty much any networked OS. You can ensure correct time this way.
- Dylan16807 6y agoNTP is fine but so is pulling time off a server header if it's phoning home to report status.
- nitrogen 6y agoNot that it matters for ice cream, but NTP can compensate for latency better than HTTPx can.
- thisisnico 6y agoIt's also easy to implement since it will be integrated into the OS of the ice cream machine already.
- ehsankia 6y agoNTP is what I meant, yes.
- ezconnect 6y agoGPS based clock is better no need for internet connection. Seiko and other company has been doing this for years.
- marshray 6y agoNTP is typically backed by GPS. If you have a datacenter full of computers, obviously you don't want to run a separate GPS antenna for every system. NTP allows systems to synchronize to GPS over a network.
