But among the many things that confuse it, one is particularly confounding: It cannot tell time.<br><br>
When I ask ChatGPT what time it is, I’m never quite sure what I’ll get. Sometimes, it tells me it can’t do it. “I don’t have access to your device’s real-time clock or your location, so I can’t tell the exact local time for you,” it wrote to me at 4:15PM Eastern Standard Time about a week ago. “But I <strong>do</strong> know today’s date according to my system: <strong>2025-11-20</strong>.” (Bolded by ChatGPT, I assume, to make sure I didn’t overlook the things it was doing well.) Sometimes it asks me to specify a city or time zone, only to reveal it can’t reliably check time that way either — “It’s 12:42 PM in New York (Eastern Time, assuming your system clock is correct),” ChatGPT wrote to me at 11:08AM. And sometimes it does provide exactly the correct time, until I ask a couple of minutes later, and it gets it wrong again.

It might surprise you to hear that one of this year’s awards season contenders is a Norwegian film. But it’s not the first time. In 2022, Joachim Trier’s sly, POV-shifting relationship drama <em>The Worst Person in the World</em> snuck into the Academy Awards with nods for Best International Film and Best Original Screenplay. His family-anchored follow up, <em>Sentimental Value</em>, has been pegged as an Oscar hopeful since its big Grand Prix win at Cannes, alongside a number of other European accolades.
<br><br>Trier’s newest film is tied up in the mess of parental issues. Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård) plays a negligent father and a filmmaker himself who has returned with his magnum opus: a script written about his own mother who died by suicide. He’s written the lead role for his daughter, Nora (Renate Reinsve, a frequent Trier collaborator). But she’s less than forgiving of her father’s absence and ultimately passes on the part.</p></div></td></tr></table><table

The biggest shopping day of the year has started, and as expected, there are tens of thousands of deals staring you in the face. <em>The Verge</em> found the ones that are actually worth considering.</p><p style="margin:0">
Our team has spent an enormous amount of time looking through spreadsheets and e-mails to find gadgets that don’t go on sale very often, are down to their all-time low price, or both. In many cases, our reviews team has tested these gadgets — either for work or in their spare time — and can authoritatively vouch for their quality. We update our roundup as we find even more deals, so we encourage you to check back later for more recommendations. </p></div></td></tr></table><table
