I'd rather use a time server that a lot of people use and is maintained. A private web server's clock depends on ...x for reference? "Google Public NTP serves leap-smeared time . We use this technology to smoothly handle leap seconds with no disruptive

Re: Internet Date Service test

Yes, that’s right. We had a report of a user setting back his OS date to extend his demo. This caused us much consternation, thus the desire for an independent date source. Peter > On Sep 14, 2018, at 5:56 PM, Brian Milby via use-livecode > wrote: > > I think the goal is an independent time

Re: Internet Date Service test

I think the goal is an independent time (date) source to ensure that the value is correct. I’m curious about the best solution. Probably would involve your own server though. Thanks, Brian On Sep 14, 2018, 7:36 PM -0500, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode , wrote: > Peter Bogdanoff wrote: > > >

Hi Peter, why don't you consider a VPN for such testing? It can place you in any country you need, and you get immediate confirmation. VPN's are plentiful and free to cheap. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca. USA - mixstream.org On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 3:33 PM, Peter Bogdanoff via

I took BN's calendar some time ago and created a date range "widget" (not a real widget) where clicking on a start date in the start calendar set the end date in the end calendar to the next day, and prevented you from picking an end date earlier than the start date or start later than the end.

I should clarify, you can't really run Android apps on your Mac, you run them on the Android device and they display on the computer. I've used this for presentations. Also, I'd be surprised if any remote access method could actually log into an Android device that has a screen lock. That
