01:46M.....1:46am......odd. Something planned for that time?
I would believe it. I am a swamp local and a few nights ago we lost power between 1:30 AM and 2:15 AM (I sleep with a white noise machine or I never would have known). I thought it might be a test run for something. Timing works out.
The UTC time has said 1:47 on January 18th for about 15 minutes now. The time isn’t adjusting since UTC time is currently 2:24. Perhaps an outage?
Nah, man. It's stuck when you refresh it.
It just changed to the correct time!
Good catch OP. I think you are absolutely onto something. I am a swamp local and a few nights ago we lost power between 1:30 AM and 2:15 AM (I sleep with a white noise machine or I never would have known). I thought it might be a test run for something. This time stamp you found overlaps with that period. I don't know diddly about computers but maybe that's the time the live feed is supposed to no longer be live? Maybe they'll start playing a recording then to cover actions?
Wouldn’t surprise me. Just very odd in the wake of things and wanted more opinions. Thanks for the updates on your end. My end still says 1:47 January 18th no matter how many times I refresh it.
Same here.
Click on link, time is 01:46 Jan. 18. Capitol feed loads, time is 22:22 Jan. 17 (was current time, no code)
Edit: Possibly linking to time on my device?
I'd go to the actual .gov site, though.
If you view the page source and search for 'ty2udate431' you can see that its hard coded to '01:46 18th January 2021' and then some javascript runs on page load to set it to the current time.
So it's not UTC time. Wonder why they chose to hardcode that time though...
And also, if it’s hard coded why are some people seeing different times? Someone on here said they see 1:46, my boyfriend on his phone sees 1:46 and then I and one other person see 1:47. Is that typical as well?
Not sure, a lot of it is strange. If it's stuck on 1:46 on the 18th then it could be that the javascript failed to execute and update the date (happens sometimes depending on the browser and code). No idea about the 1:47 one though. I just noticed it was hardcoded while looking through the javascript and wanted to share what I found. Let's see what happens at 1:46.
Thank you for the info. I don’t know anything about computers or technology so I am thankful for all the people looking into the is. I saw it and thought it was very interesting so just wanted to share. Is it typical to hardcode times or what is the purpose of doing so typically?
