My stove oven is broke and that’s how it be.
Look at the queen of England over here with a clock on her stove. Mine just makes two different fires: inside or outside.
What is the oven temp? Usually hot enough or too hot.
i got a clock where it has up and down buttons, so changing the time is really easy either direction.
it was so easy with analogs, you’d just turn the wheel on back twice a year. okay, four times a year if you’re like me and fuck it up the first time every time.
you just have to turn it clock wise
Yeah but clockwise from the front is anticlockwise from the back.
That’s what she said.
Just keep one appliance on daylight savings time and the other on canada time.
same
It’s
<blink>12:00</blink>somewhereMine’s been blinking “18:88” for over the last 5 years now. It’s a pain in the ass to set the clock on it so I gave up a looong time ago, and don’t even notice it anymore. Besides there’s already a clock on the wall, on the coffee maker, on the microwave, and one on my wrist so it just adds to the confusion.
Lke they say, “man with many clocks never knows what time it is.”
Exactly zero of my appliance clocks are set. Microwave and coffee makers all get the power strips shut off between use to reduce ghost power draw, and rofl im not setting them back up every time, and my power goes out often enough that I don’t bother with the oven clock either.
My ex used to set them all whenever they came over, cuz it bothered them. I don’t even notice. There are no working clocks in the kitchen, and I don’t need any.
The dreaded blinking 00:00. Only it continues to increment minutes so you come back and it’s blinking 3:44.
I kinda like those… they let you know how long ago the power was out. useless information to have but I still like to know. Be nicer to know for how long it was out.
The clock in my van just corrected itself a few weeks ago!
Obviously the solution is a local NTP server that your appliances can check against.
My appliances are not and will not be connected to any network.
My ovens actually do query an NTP server, although one from the manufacturer. I wonder what happens if I advertise a local NTP through DHCP, will they ignore it or use it over the manufacturers NTP.
Obviously you have to MITM the request and forward it to your local NTP.
Literally the only, single, solitary “smart” function I want in my appliances.
They could just use radio time for like 50 cents in parts but that wouldn’t stalk you and collect all your data.
I would actually prefer if my appliances didn’t all have a clock in them at all. I understand needing one on the coffee maker for scheduled brews, but my microwave and oven have no need to use their display outside of normal use
Agreed about the oven, but the microwave needs all the parts for a timer, which means it can also be a clock for free.
Yeah but I can’t turn the clock off either. If I could disable it, I wouldn’t care that it was there.
Beg to differ. Setting the time takes like 15 seconds.
You can do it while you let something boil
Just stick to UTC year-round. Problem solved.
I mean, obviously this is correct. And if you’re extra fancy, you can place a Post-it note with the current local time delta next to it.
be super fancy and post local noon every day
Until you get a power outage and it resets.
There is absolutely no way my fucking seven hundred euro oven shouldn’t set it’s time automatically. The the technology is there, it’s cheap, and it would make my life so much easier.
I mean that little small part of my life. But you know what I mean…
Careful, they’ll do it by connecting to WiFi. Don’t worry, they’ll “only” use it for setting the time.
But yeah, it really should use the atomic clock radio frequencies.
No, I’m talking about this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock
And that’s available since the seventies.
Yep exactly that!
Sorry, communication is hard, believe it or not I was talking about exactly that 😬
Hear me out. It is time we end daylight savings, but the issue stands at where to set the clocks. I think that’s where some people disagree. Time zones are made up anyway. There’s nothing stopping a state from splitting the difference. We should move the clocks back in the opposite direction 30 minutes from where it was previously moved, then just leave it alone. Forever. Stop disturbing our sleep cycles. Stop making us change offline clocks. I want to set my clock once, then ignore it until the battery dies.
Agreed that daylight savings is dumb and should end. That said, time zones are typically in 1 hour offsets because it’s a reasonable increment and makes that make between time zones easier. The time we end up in should line up with the existing international time zones instead of making up more shit to replace it.
We just stopped flipping our clocks this year in parts of Canada. There’s been a bit of confusion because some automatic stuff changed anyway but overall it’s been fine so far.
Microsoft has been my biggest headache, so many meetings got permanently shifted by an hour because they vibecoded that timezone change.
I want to set my clock once, then ignore it until the battery dies.
I feel the same way, so that’s why all our clocks are radio controlled. Even the old analog clock got its mechanism replaced by a radio controlled one.
BC gave up waiting for our southern neighbours this year, and it significantly reduced the number of dead deer on the highway the past few weeks (the death count usually skyrockets for a few weeks during the changeover).
We ended up settling for a permanent gmt-7, where we were previously gmt-8.
i am so envious
We actually signed it into law years ago, and then Trump happened which delayed us actually doing it.
All my appliances are drifting in different ways anyway, so I’m just assuming nothing in my kitchen has the correct time
It’s right less than half of the year since daylight savings time lasts 34 weeks.
Or more than half the year, depending on when the stove broke.
I hate those 2 to 3 weeks where I forget that it’s ahead an hr and I star to panic that I’m late AF
