However, anyone who uses internet- or radio-connected mobile devices or computers to tell time knows that those clocks sync automatically to international standards.

Of course, that's not actually true. They just use whatever they thought the time in the country was going to be when they were last updated. In an ideal world, the lesson Turkey (and other governments) should take away from this is that they need to give more than just a couple weeks of notice for changes like this.
