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.   ;)

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
