    The year can be easily checked online and you usually keep your phone besides you on the night stand

      Are you an idiot? After 2 years my battery would be dead.

          No, I don’t want to overcharge it.

            usually by naptime mines down to like 30-40% and the nap is about right to get it back to ~80ish. Mines pretty old though I guess it’s different with newer ones and fast charging.

              I just had my battery replaced, so it works like new.

      I’d think it was funny because without a lot more evidence I wouldn’t believe it true.

      Don’t get me wrong some pranks are dick moves, but, this… nah

      Or after you spend a few minutes waking up and realizing you’re in the same clothes, in the same spot, and none of your stuff has moved.

      Funny thing, you probably couldn’t actually. None of the current TLS certificates would be valid in a couple of years

          No. Many certificates are only valid for a couple months to years into the future. Many websites wont work if you set your system time to +5 years, because most certificates won’t be valid for that time.

        Yeah, but even without network time updates your device’s internal clock is probably accurate enough to be able to tell if 2 years have passed or not. If it has an error of ≥2 years per 2 years, you need a new clock.

          The premise was that the spouse set the phone clock into the future. That has nothing to do with how accurate the RTC is (usually <10s/day)
