tbf, there are leap seconds. I don’t know if this “update” was for a leap second, but it really needs to be more seamless.
Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell
Krzd@lemmy.world 4 days agoWhy does a clock need more features. It tells the time. MAYBE add an alarm to it so you don’t have to have 2 apps. that’s it. It’s not a calendar, it’s not a task-tracker, and the last time I checked we still have 24 hour days.
The only updates it needs are UI updates (which should be system-side anyways) and if the time source changes, which are a few bytes at most.

leap seconds should be handled via the standard sync just like any normal deviation

yeah, but this is Microshaft we’re talking about. What they SHOULD do, isn’t what they do. Hence why we have windows.

It likely includes stuff like timezones, timers, alarms,supports multiple languages. The update could be fixing a typo in Hungarian translation for all I know, or fix layout for displaying timezones on ultra wide screen 🤷♂️
Software development is complex, even for seemingly most trivial things.
