Update system time based on NTP server time
Based on codes in an old AutoIt Forum, I made the following code and it works perfectly. But I have couple of questions on how it works. I have to ask the original writer of this code(@Fzz), but he doesn't seem to be active now. Can someone please let me know the internal workings of this code? I'm especially curious about the meaning of packet sent to the NTP server. I don't know what the 96-byte long hex string with a lot of 0's means. I don't know why the hex string is converted to a decimal
In connection with this topic a need arose to compare two time strings in milliseconds. As _DateDiff function does not support millisecond data type, I came up with a UDF based on the original _DateDiff function.
#include <Date.au3>
$sDate1 = "2019/12/19 23:16:24"
$sDate2 = "2019/12/20 23:16:24.02"
ConsoleWrite("Difference in seconds: " & _DateDiffEx("s", $sDate1, $sDate2) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Difference in milliseconds: " & _DateDiffE
