I’m primarily talking about stuff like step counters, but also health apps measuring your heart rate, how many stairs you take, the length of your steps, and so on. I’m honest when you tell me to explain it to me like I’m five years old, this one boggles my mind.
As well as the us military intentionally keeps GPS readings inaccurate, as conspiracy theorist as that sounds lol

I’ll admit i havent looked into it in a couple years, but I could have sworn this was why real time kinematic positional systems existed. I can’t imagine the crystal timer nor the accuracy of a digital signal could be the issu
(Of course I’m too lazy to google it so take this as scientific as the effort i put in, minimal lol)
