Clever! I know I talked to the folks at Masterclock in St. Louis recently about one of their clock displays; they intentionally default the separators to flash if the clock is not synced to NTP, and then they go solid once the connection is established.

It's a quick way to know if something is down, using context clues that are already there to begin with!

Jeff, it's very cool to hear from you as I have enjoyed your videos for some time. I would like to make one request though. Next time you do a project like "How I almost broke MrBeast's Ages 1-100 video" that involves setting up interactive electronics for an event, you should really call me. I managed interactive technology deployments for the automotive marketing industry for over a decade. It's a niche that has unique challenges which you fell face first into. I would be happy to help make things go much smoother should you ever do something similar. Proof: https://imgur.com/a/5z5JrwT I'm also on Reddit, same screen name if you want to dm me there.
