Some kid in Hoboken is gonna set your house on fire with it.

So many timers, so little time.

I don't even notice all the little clocks. I actually like clocks a lot, and I check them a lot, but not the ones in these appliances. I usually don't notice when they run fast or when we go in or out of DLS.

Good thing you can only turn it on remotely under certain conditions

None of my kitchen equipment has any sort of a clock on them.

Timers, yes. Clocks, no.

My apartment complex also has ads inside elevator. Is it that bad?

Sometimes one of my friends fixes mine when he's here. I appreciate it. It bothers him. I don't care.

We gotta love the little blessings.

So uh, what conditions. Like exactly? It's for my english class.

Yeah stopped bothering with setting up the hour manually for these things... Every rainy or windy season my electricity is quite erratic.

My rice cooker is the cockroach of timekeeping. It was unplugged for almost a year and the clock was still on and accurate when I pulled it out of storage.

While I was standing there in the kitchen, the smart TV started playing an old movie randomly, blasting the audio through all the smart speakers in the house. The Roomba hit me right in the ankle, just as the door to the stove fell open and the speakers yelled “Feed me Seymour!”
But I mean. It’s a Roomba, and the stove takes time to preheat, even if I had fallen in. The cat helped to blind the Roomba while I unplugged everything. Now I’m huddled in the dark, fighting against the cold, wondering if I should chance the thermostat.

Does it smell like gas...?

Oh well, we need to ask ourselves just how badly we want to survive the impending robotemic, maybe? Perhaps we - BLEEP - oh ah, I mean, never mind that, as I was saying perhaps you should just prepay your electric bill for the next 50 years and then give in to whatever the house wants?

That depends; do you like people stealing your attention for money?

[email protected]

Imagine this... let's all carry around pocket computers that sync with atomic clocks, they can the use low power radios to set cheap clocks... cough... bluetooth current time service... cough...

[email protected]

I don't have anything to do in elevator, so I do not care much about attention being 'stolen'.

[email protected]

TBH I never set them. Whats the point?

[email protected]

Idk maybe, just maybe. Add a cheap AF coin battery like for example motherboards to keep the internal clock alive.

Epic trick dear manufacturers. Well maybe it will cost them 0.05€ more per device... That means less Ferraris for the CEOs so idk about that.

Yeah, Atomic Clocks can measure time with great precision as the radioactive decay of elements is extremely consistent.
