Huh this shouldn't happen with direct GPS synced devices, but things like microwaves don't generally have direct GPS... they use regular clock chips (with or without wifi) or grid-synchronization (rare nowadays I think), so they're a degree or two removed from GPS.https://twitter.com/nevali/status/1267764838547238912 …

I think
@theartlav or@keithmadams might know, but I think cheap devices these days probably use a non-grid clock chip, and if they sync at all, it's over wifi (which is more stably synced with GPS via explicit time calibration signals rather than 60/50hz assumption.Show this threadThanks.

Might it have something to do with the movement & instability of the magnetic field right now? He lives in Glasgow, closer latitudinally to Siberia, instability in the electromagnetic field triggering a little spark of cosmic rays?

Doubt it... probably old appliances that are directly grid synchronized and their grid is unstable. Been happening a lot lately due to the drastic shift in electricity usage patterns.
