For those living in the United States, don't forget to set your clock back one hour tonight. Daylight savings time ends Sunday November 3rd 2013 at 2:00am, which for insomniacs is tonight. If you do forget to set you clocks back, you will be 1 hour late for things tomorrow.

No. An hour early.

 

No, an hour late.   Fall back an hour, if you forget and have an appointment at 9 and your clock is still set an hour ahead you will be arriving at 10, an hour late.

You've got it backwards.  If you didn't change your clock and showed up at 9, you're actually there at 8....an hour early.  Just like my relief did this morning at work...hilarious he showed up at 5 and didn't realize it until he got there.

lol that happened to me once, ended up an hour early in the freezing cold outside my depot, wondering why my truck wasn't loaded, who had the keys to it etc...

So did Indiana till last year (and only PART of Indiana now does observe it). My friend there is like WTF! :angry:

 

So the upper west stays the same while the rest of IN changes time. Makes no sense. LOL

All my stuff switched but I forgot I needed to adjust my stove and microwave. I think I need to start shopping for smart kitchen appliances :p

My apologies, you are right!

This is exactly why I hate DST, it is an abomination inflicted on civilized people!  My late Grandma used to say the only reason the politicians did this was to give them extra daylight to play golf with their cronies.   ;)

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
