The writing style of that article was excellent. No flourish, no bullshit. Also:

> An aside about clocks: This is as good a time as any to reset your computer's internal clock. For I.B.M. and I.B.M.-compatible machines, type ''TIME'' at the DOS prompt, and for Macs bring up the control panel. Then call 900-410-8463. You'll get a recording from the United States Naval Observatory's atomic clock, and you can't get much more accurate than that. The call costs 50 cents.

Does it still work?

If you want to do it manually for some reason, https://time.gov/ works.
