In here, as I cannot think of where else I might get an answer....
As mentioned
elsewhere, my Nixie tube clock arrived from Ukraine a few days ago, and while I was in the process of emailing the vendor to ask for some instructions how to set the time, I realised that it was already showing the correct time, and date. Plug-in-and-play, effectively.
All very well, but how?
The thing runs off the mains via a wallwart, but I'm guessing it must have an internal power source (a battery) to keep the clock / calendar programmed. No?
However, what is properly doing my head in, is that the clock jumped an hour forward to BST since yesterday, without any intervention from me.
How can this be? Given that the date when this happens varies from one time zone to another across countries and, as I've said, I've not had to set anything on it regarding regions or times.
Can anyone 'splain?
