Didn’t he just endanger the whole flight industry by firing critical FAA workers?

Not really what the clocking system is. You aren't even thinking of clocks in a high level programing language way not to talk about low level instruction set way.

[size=8pt]
Incorrect, some programs rely on the correct date/time. Think back to y2k.
And again, when the computer is powered down, where does that clock signal come from?
So, explain how "Power on Schedule" works if the computer is off. If I want the computer to wake up at 4:20pm. How does the computer wake up without a clock signal?
And you are still thinking of a clock like a clock on the wall. The RTC uses an oscillator to create the clock signal and basically count to get the time.

Oga, go rest. You play with computers but you don't understand them.

IjeBos:
You're still thinking of time in a basic way.
In the real world we use time to execute commands. It's not just to look at.
In 5 seconds, do this. etc. We can count it, feel it or look up at the clock.
The computer does as well.
On an aside, that's why we talk of processors in terms of frequency or clock speed or how many cycles it completes in a second (1/s).

Anyhow, there are still some functions a computer may want to execute when off, 1 basic one is keeping the time relatively updated so when you boot up shit will work.
Another is, you want to PC to wake up at a certain time. It needs to calculate when that time is.
If the Power is off, it can't do that.

The clock isn't just for showing you the time, but also for the computer to know when to do things.

Anyhow, I'm done with this convo.
Doing my mom's taxes and been distracted and you seem to have a hard time with a basic concept.

i am sure you can tell us.

the guy is an architect and he was amending some drawings. he put the files on a flash. so i sort the files by date. they were supposed to be the most recent files . because they were dated 5 days past, they did not show. the next day i met with him and he showed me the files. i saw the old date and i got very very angry because i thought he had been slacking and was trying to present last weeks work as just completed.

while updating the pc, i saw the time error and figured it was his system cmos battery and i replaced it.

if you have a gaming laptop with stuff like xmp and overclocking features you enable in the bios, a bad cmos battery will mean bios resets every time you start the device.

that is when i changed the cmos of my corsair one two years ago. for the same reason.

IjeBos:
When it boots up, not when it is off.
Again, you are not actually asking yourself how software knows when to do the things you are asking it to.
You are thinking about it from a higher level.

GloriousGbola:
my pc last sync with the server was 1am. over 20 hours ago. so if my cmos battery is dead, and i start the pc after leaving it off for five days while working in a 9 to 5 office, i can very likely have my pc working with wrong time and date. this was THE EXACT SCENARIO with a member of my team

by the way - since you are supposed to be the leader to that small boy, people do not put pcs in landfills - they send them to ewaste recycling centers. the least you can do is try not to sound like the cl;one of the dunce troll of this thread

IjeBos:
You are taken for granted how a computer works.
If you use WOL, how does a computer know when to poll for that signal when the power is off?
A compter is a basic clock with instructions happening at set intervals (rising edge, falling edge, etc) based on that clock.

bemeruca:
So? Servers update their clocks through NTP how is that too hard to comprehend. Even the router in your house or switch if you have one Use NTP to keep accurate time. Would you say they have cmos battery or RTP?

IjeBos:
A clock is like a metronome.
It keeps things in sync and tells events when to occur.
The computer has to know even when to go the the NTP server and get the date, something tells it that.

IjeBos:
You don't seem to even understand the function of a RTC or even a clock if you say that.
Computers need synchronization.
Without a clock a computer won't run.

bemeruca:
Lmao okoro changed cmos battery for no reason, and he is singing like he cured cancer

GloriousGbola:
you are a complete dunce if you think your computer will work fine when it is not keeping correct time

really and truly, you know nothing and you are proud of broad casting it

first of all

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/what-is-cmos-battery-how-to-remove-and-replace

this is a link from HP

every statement from you is a coinfession that you are a dunce

you were sharing screenshots the other day that were obviously captured by time tracking software -

so if you are doing remote work and you are being tracked and your computer time is wrong - whoever is auditing you will assume you are lying as every file on your pc has a time stamp

you will also have challenges updating windows because the time on your pc does not match the time of servers

you are a small boy who has never actually worked in an office, so you dont know what happens if you send an email at 10pm wednesday while your pc says you sent it at 5pm sunday

the boy in the video likely the same age as you - but se the value he is adding to society -
can you try to be something more than a failed troll?

IjeBos:
Dumbass still being a dumbass.
You should go and argue with Basilico and Grok.

IjeBos:
So, exactly as I said.
Maybe ask Grok next time before running ur mouth.

IjeBos:
So, no answer right?
So then, STFU and go back to the back of the classroom.

IjeBos:
When the power is off, what maintains the clock on a "modern" computer?

GloriousGbola:
IjeBos has a pc with an 11th gen cpu

All you need is a quick Google search for replace cmos battery.

Every pc manufacturer is still using cmos batteries

A cmos battery is a cheap reliable and trusted tool for retaining the settings in a pc bios.

Like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.

IjeBos:

IjeBos:
They are both stored the same way.

IjeBos - Ivy League Computer Engineering Degree
Bemeruca - Third Tier University something or other Degree

I'm tired, I'll just leave that there.

IjeBos:
I just reread this.
It's been a while since I took computer architecture, but I 100% believe this is bullshit as most things you say are.

Where else would bios/uefi settings be stored.

everyone was around during trump 1.0. they have their think tanks and policy makers and they had 4 years to prepare for this eventuality.

isreals increasing escalation of hostilities was clearly planned on a trump win, as an example

china is ready for them. if huawei and zte could ride it out, so can china. they do not run on shareholder value and quarterly reports

budaatum:
Yeah. We believe you stink less than we believe Tim because you are more trustworthy, not.



Make sure you read the article to see I left out "military".

This is basic stuff that should be calculated beforehand by any serious Government. That's why tariffs are specific to products
