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
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. 👍
*wrong time.
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.
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.
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.

My power goes out so often, they get updated regularly.
Does anyone really know what time it is?
Wrong time again…
Sometimes I live in the future.
Sometimes I live in the past.
Luckily the only devices I have that need to be manually set to correct time are my cameras. And I set the time on them fairly frequently anyway because the clocks drift by half a minute every few months.
