This article explains exactly nothing.<p>You can replace the word TrueTime, with &quot;Magic&quot; and learn exactly as much.

Should have a 2012 in it. Can someone clarify something for me. The GPS part gets talked about a lot in these articles, but it&#x27;s never been clear why. Does Google go as far as putting a GPS receiver in <i>every</i> server? If not, what is so special about this? (People have been using GPS as a time source on networks for decades. But the way articles talk about it, this is super-duper novel.)

you can make one of these yourself now if you need highly accurate (but not completely accurate all the time) time stamps... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learn.adafruit.com&#x2F;arduino-clock&#x2F;overview" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learn.adafruit.com&#x2F;arduino-clock&#x2F;overview</a>
