TexasProud Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 My computer is driving me nuts. It is changing back and forth between Texas (central) and Indiana (Eastern) time zones.. Like, 15 times a day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Check your timezone setting. Are you using a windows laptop or MacBook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You should be able to change your settings so that you have to manually change the the time zone. Is there some reason that isn't something weird about the computer that this could be happening, like that you are on the edge of the time zone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near any time zone switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched it to manual and central time zone so maybe it will stop. But I will need to do automatic when we travel. I just don't get. It kept saying we were in Indiana... We left Indiana last Sunday. Arrived here on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, 15 times a day... I'd check your settings. are you need a border between zones? is it on your house wifi? or something else. My laptop won't change time zones (from PT to CT) unless I manually change it. My phone, my watch . . instantly, but not my laptop. if this is a today problem - there were warnings of a major solar storm today that would interfere with electronics.

I am not in a border between zones. I think I would have to drive 6 hours or more to change time zones. Not sure what you mean by our house wifi... How could our wifi be on a different time zone? It is a mifi hot spot thing hooked up to a router or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a mifi hot spot thing hooked up to a router or something. if it was on house wifi - or another source (e.g. there are communities who get their wifi/internet off satellites. - which could also be messed up by the solar storm.) A mifi hotspot connects to a cell-tower to give you internet. I'd look into the solar storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) May or may not be related. The first of six CMEs hit earth very early this morning MT? CT? there are concerns three may combine into one massive CME. They do wreck havoc with electronics. I pulled this off spaceweather.com SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM--NOW!! The first of six CMEs hurled toward Earth by giant sunspot AR3664 just hit our planet's magnetic field. The impact on May 10th at 1645 UT jolted magnetometers around the world (e.g., 108 nT in Boulder CO) and sparked a severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm. This storm is underway now. More CMEs are following close behind (see below) and their arrival could extend the storm into the weekend. Stay tuned! CME impact alerts: SMS Text UPDATE--SIX CMEs HURLED TOWARD EARTH: The number of CMEs heading for Earth keeps increasing. The total is now six following this morning's X3.9-class flare from giant sunspot AR3664. All six storm clouds are captured in this time-lapse movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Edited May 10 by gardenmom5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
