Ask HN: Is it just me, or is UTC an hour behind

[nevergreen]

This is probably just me, but I feel like all my clocks that are connected to the internet are a minute ahead of the ones that aren't. Any thoughts?

Subject says hour behind, but the text says minute ahead. The text implies the non-connected clocks are in sync with each other, which is curious since connectivity is usually how time syncing would occur. In my experience, non-connected clocks slowly drift over time, and not all at the same rate.

This makes little sense to me.

I'm sorry, I wrote the wrong thing in the title. The fact that the non-connected clocks seemed to drift at the same rate is the reason I noticed it. But really I think it's just a coincidence or something.

Are you misaligned against GMT/BST vs UTC?

[nevergreen]

I think (but I'm not sure) that if that was the case, it would be a hour difference, not a minute. Thanks though!

Apologies, thread title said hour.

Whoops! That's my fault.
