timbo343 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Is this something we all should be concerned about? Seems some aren't bothered yet it seems like the media are making a big fuss about it 2015 'leap second' to cause IT chaos, warn experts - 09 Jan 2015 - Computing News
featured_spectre Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Not massively bothered our end, but then our servers are set to an internal clock.
Domino Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Well, the last time this happened in June 2012, I would hope any at risk systems were patched for it. I know of a java and linux kernel patch that exists.
LeMarchand Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 It will be the 26th leap second since 1972 Well we didn't all go up in flames on the 25 previous occasions.
