The final versions of all NTP 2024 Survey Summary Maps are now available. They are a great way to see damage survey investigation results, including the survey source data.
The maps are available via the NTP Open Data Portal at uwo.ca/ntp and through the NTP Dashboard at uwo.ca/ntp/dashboard.

I'm doing some research into NTP on Macs and there is basically zero information about the history of time.apple.com (and similar NTP servers in other regions).
Are there any tech notes or buried info I can look into about how Apple got time (or how they do now?)
