and interestingly...

rtc_time : 18:34:40

alrm_time : 12:24:31
alrm_date : 2059-09-19
alarm_IRQ : no
alrm_pending : no
24hr : yes
wonder when that changed...

EDIT: even more interestingly... 2059-09-19 12:24:31 is not a date that can even be calculated using the onboard busybox... nor ubuntu Mints date calculator... it's too far in the future or something...

however using our trusty online companion... http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm

we can note that would be... 2831199871 - yeah. I can see how they came up with that one .... NOT... (some one's birthday? end of the world?)


Let's have a read of https://www.linux.com/learn/docs/672...tc-alarm-clock

which looks like fun...
