Does Lit Own a Time Machine?

[ReadyOne]

The Lit clock claims to be an hour fast.

For me, it claims to be displaying time at GMT-5 aka Eastern Time Zone. But I live there, and I'm sure my clock is correct. NIST agrees with me too...

Perhaps Lit has a problem with daylight savings time?

Has anyone else noticed?

Lit is giving me the correct time, plus or minus a few minutes. I haven't checked it against the Naval Observatory site, but that's a degree of obsessiveness I can do without.

I just edited a post and the time was right-on, PDT.
Maybe they checked it and changed it?

I wonder if lit is setting an offset in a cookie somewhere and then adjusting the Lit clock to follow daylight savings time.

If you are in a DST area, all is well.

If you are in part of the country that does not observe DST, then Lit adjusting their clock will move it an hour away from your unchanged clock.

I suppose the idea of consulting the user's machine for the current time zone offset didn't occur to the software writers...
