Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so, I can’t imagine why
Only that one teacher who cared if you walked in one second late but would then keep the whole class after the bell because they think they’re above not only all the kids but all the other teachers as well.
Yeah, Atomic Clocks can measure time with great precision as the radioactive decay of elements is extremely consistent.
Power cut off at my house while I was at work night before last. Got the notification of restoration bout an hour before quitting time
We gotta love the little blessings.
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.
Sometimes my friend fixes mine when he’s here. I appreciate it. It bothers him. I don’t care about any of them except the auto feeder for the cats.
We have a constellation of satellites constantly broadcasting the most accurate time humans can measure and it’s crazy every device doesn’t have an antenna to pick this up and set the time.
nope, but they do have WiFi to send analytics to the factory (and so that they can get hacked and be used for DDOS attacks)
A DDOS attack on my toaster would be quite dangerous actually, what’s the cybersecurity framework to secure my toaster
appliences that connect to your internet are supposed to be secured, but cheap Chinese ones usually arent. this means they can easily get hacked and added to a botnet thats used for DDoS attacks. I once saw a screenshot of someone whose washing machine uploaded ~30GB of data per month.
the best thing to do against this is to just not connect them to the internet.
Me: this is so dumb
Also me: busts out laughing
None of my kitchen equipment has any sort of a clock on them.
Timers, yes. Clocks, no.
TBH I never set them. Whats the point?
