Work phone so I don’t use the clock much
Surely you must have rebooted it since then? It’s possible it could last through a reboot I guess, since it’s only displaying the difference between current_time and start_time, not actually counting every millisecond when it’s in the background.
Edit: ok, yeah, I just tried it: reboots don’t reset the stopwatch, whaddya know!
Just compares the time started vs the time now. So if you set your device clock back 10 years, start a timer, and set the time back, you’ll see 10 years has elapsed.
And now lap 1 is finished.
Only 14 more to go…
14 more? Whatre you running 1/3 or 1/5 mile long tracks lol you picked the only number that wouldnt work with the standard 1/4 mile tracks🤣
I used 14 since 30 years (15x2) is a normal minimum duration of employment.
Fun fact: The timer app doesn’t even need to run in the background. When you started it, it recorded the start time. Now it’s showing you now - then.
You could turn off your phone for 10 years, let the battery die, come back, reset the clock, and the timer will still be running!
You can set your time backwards, then start it, and then update the time again
Stopwatch: “I’m tired, boss.”
hah, made me check if the stop watch app I installed when apps were the new hot thing is actually still going…
There was some person who started a stopwatch on their iphone and they were unhappy that there wasn’t a way to keep it going when they replaced their phone.
It wasn’t me, but I will be sad when I can’t keep the same stopwatch running. It’s weirdly comforting whenever I lose track of what year it is since COVID or disassociate to see a token of time passing
Reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lygOY3sYWhI
I think my iPod Touchs Stopwatch from high school is still running. Wonder how its doing…
press lap and check it again in two years.
Sounds like a watch you can count on!
Nice uptime
Stopwatches survive reboots.
Why
User error
Oh no, I’m very sorry
