My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.
technically it’s correct twice a day if you use military time
Wouldn’t it be correct just once a day if it’s military time? 00:00 would only be 12:00 AM. Noon would just be 12:00.
This guy doesn’t know about second midnight
I’m here to brag about my new watch. The Casio Gshock GWM 5610U. Auto syncs to the atomic clock every night. Synced last midnight and adjusted for DST without me touching it. Fucking love this watch.
I also own a g shock with the 5610 module.
Welcome to the club buddy. The big dick g shock club.
The 5610/u really are one of the best watches (though I was eyeing the GW 5000U for a good while). I was debating on getting the 5610 and not the 5610u because of the green light. Came down to the 5610u because I can view time while in stopwatch mode.
I also have one of those. This is the only watch running correctly in my house.
My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year
I own exactly one appliance that tries to keep the time and it has never known the correct time since I bought it. 👍
I left my bathroom clock on standard time, because it’s hard to reach. Now I have to remember that it’s correct again.
I do the same lol.
Though not because it’s hard to reach, it’s just my silent protest to changing the time.
Well for car clocks there is a very simple way to fix daylight saving time. Wait 6months.
Bold of You to assume it was ever running correctly.
*wrong time.
I mean, it takes a minute at most to change the device’s time, so I don’t mind doing it.
except my grandma’s stove which has a broken handle and sensor so it just guesses if you’re going forward or backwards and will randomly increment by like 15. I got it within 20 minutes then gave up because using pliers on the mangled remains of a stove knob was really annoying.
I really wish there was like a lil i2c port on the back of every device so you could just plug in a lil clock synchronizer thingy and it would tell the device what time it is. Like it probably wouldn’t even cost that much to implement for the manufacturers. Standardizing on the connector and protocol would be a bitch tho
I like this idea.
I have an appliance that resets the time to midnight when plugged in. I had an idea to connect a smart plug to it on a schedule to set the time automatically.
All clocks in my home must be perfectly synced with atomic time. I will sit there and wait until the very last moment before hitting the button to confirm the time on the microwave/stove/wall clock/etc., so that it doesn’t change over to the next minute until it’s supposed to.
The irony is that the rest of my life is in complete chaos due to having untreated ADHD. Keeping accurate time is the one thing I care about having in order. Thankfully DST doesn’t exist where I live so I rarely have to re-sync everything more than once every couple of years or so.
Does anyone really know what time it is?
casio f91 mentioned lez go
My car has been on standard time for years now, so it’s currently correct.
I don’t ever change my clocks, I just do mental math because my car clock also tends to drift roughly a minute a month so I’m used to it. Frankly I don’t even set most of them when the power goes out (phone and watch are right either way, bedroom and living room get set after outages)… but when one friend comes over they always set or change all my clocks for me because it drives them crazy…
Appliance clocks can be useful, but I typically don’t use the pre-set or programmed features anyway so meh. I think in 10 years I’ve used the scheduled bake on my oven once, and that’s about as much as I’ve used any of the program features on any appliances…
My power goes out so often, they get updated regularly.
