How is it not random? | ||

It’s pseudorandom. It’s predictable in theory because if you had another watch, or an amazing sense of time, you could predict it. Is that realistic? Not really. Computers use their clock to generate pseudorandom numbers all the time (hehe). It’s great randomness for something like shuffling songs or a sorting algorithm. You don’t want to use it with some “adversarial”, like online poker. | ||
