My old phones' timer said "Less than 1 minute" instead of saying 59 seconds... Everything less than one minute whas "Less than 1 minute".

- joseda-hg 3y agoI've seen that to avoid numbers that would go out of sync the moment they we're displayed, because it was better to be imprecise than to be wrong
