Yeah, hardware can be like that!

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

And cheap industrial systems with real time constraints but still in the "mechanical actuation" range of values Basically horseshoes and handgrenades.
A 155mm Howitzer *is* fairly precise, after all.

As you have discovered, this is not very accurate. A better approach is to have a recurring timer that calls your callback every TBD.
If important, you would still need to call a clock API in your callback in order to determine when it was actually called, as opposed to when it was scheduled.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Do you mean a WM_TIMER? I thought they were even less accurate.
Care to elaborate a bit?

I went to a few interviews last year while hunting around. When asked a newbie programming question, I told them, don't ask me questions you can google the answer for. I was met with silence as they reviewed their questions and realized pretty much all of them were google-able.

I start by asking newbie questions all the time, only gradually moving up to the level that's required. This is regardless of what the interviewee claims they're capable of.
You wouldn't believe how many candidates claim something insane like "it's my algorithm that actually routes all the planes across the world in real-time", then fail to solve fizzbuzz when asked to.

As someone who is always moving from place to place, I kinda specialise in asking stupid questions.
The difference is that it's pretty obvious that I'm not stupid, and I'm just asking about things that I don't know yet.
It's when the person asking stupid questions is actually stupid that you have a problem.
