Depends, what you are doing with the car.
If you drive one hour to work, park it 9 hours in the basement, then drive one hour back: you are right.
If you park it in the sunshine: you are completely wrong.

Someone who does not know the difference between a flu virus and a corona virus, should not attempt to use his idiotic ignorance for propaganda.
What prevent thieves from wiping out the serial number?
Serial numbers are blown into e-fuses in each CPU. Those can't be wiped by anyone without destroying the device.
what prevents repair shops from buying parts without serial number (or even with stolen serial number) and putting them into customer's phones?
The serial numbers are set in the factories; there are no parts without numbers.
The EU is not 30.4% of Apple's global revenue - see here.
Yes, Gruber is an Apple cheerleader, but his facts tend to be accurate.
When Apple says "Europe" in their financials, they mean:
But there are a significant number of high-GDP countries in Europe that aren’t in the EU—the UK (most famously), Russia, Turkey, Switzerland, Norway, and Ukraine. More importantly, Apple’s “Europe” includes the entire Middle East.
I'm not going to call people "stupid" for not knowing this. Ignorant, perhaps, and ignorance is curable.
He is talking about how to handle a leap second versus a leap minute in computer systems, by software.
He is not talking about the earth rotation.
Obviously we all would be far better of, if we simply could stop earth for a second, and then let it keep running again
It is in the summary.
The melting ice does it.
Everyone who does navigation does.
Or how do you fix your position on the earth by watching the sun or some stars without having the proper time?
FACEPALM
For a slow vessel a minute is already nearly one mile off on navigation.
For a fast vessle, like a passenger plane, it is 20 nautical miles or more.
Sorry, for anything important on this planet: it is completely unacceptable that clocks are nearly off one minute. 10 seconds would in many cases already be annoying. 1 seconds already super bad when you run distributed builds of a software system.
Most people do not carry around a wallet worth an iPhone.
It would make more sense to allow time to drift up to say 40s, and then apply a leap minute.
This would only need to be done once every few decades, and there would be ample time
to prepare tech for the next time UTC is >40s out of sync with the earth's rotation.
Somebody did propose this idea a while back.
and pushing down on the controls still would not cause someone not strapped in to hit the ceiling.
Unless they are prepared: of course it would.
Because ceiling is now in front of them, and not above.
Learn some physics. Perhaps you want to google 'inertia'?
It is one of the most fundamental phenomena in physics.
Good luck in discussing it away.
Perhaps. But how would anyone know that? As such stuff does not and in anyone's stream, unless he follows such a propaganda user. FACEPALM, you expert!
TickTock shows me the stuff I want to see. And it most certainly does not show the stuff, you claim it shows. Like news. There is no news on TickTock, idiot.
Perhaps, you computer expert, you have TickTock clone on your phone, and do not even know it. Would be funny
