    I absolutely refuse to change time on any of my analog clocks. I hate daylight savings with passion.

      I display a clock at work that I proudly label as “Standard Time” year-round. Screw daylight stealings.

      Same, or until the next power outage. And then they will be wrong by who knows how much for a week or two until I set them.

      I wonder if we could set up all your devices to get that data from something like radio/Bluetooth. Then have your router/small device just send out the time from ntp and all your devices can just accept the message

      That way you don’t need an internet connected microwave

        If you’re going to make your device capable of setting its clock via radio, then it wouldn’t need to get its time from your router because it could just receive the signal straight from the atomic clock at NIST.

          Well that certainly works. At least in NA I guess. Not sure if we have an equivalent in my country but it’d make sense to set one up

    This is the conversation via text I had with my wife yesterday morning:

    Her: I’ll get [my daughter] up.

    Me: Not until 10.

    Her: Time change.

    Me: [looking directly at the clock on my computer] It’s 9:30.

    Her: Did time go backwards?

    Me: No. It feels like 8:30. That’s why the dogs got up at 7 instead of 6.

    Her: Sigh. I’m so confused.

      Daylight savings are so stupid. Savings are actually minimal and it’s bad for your health. If everyday you wake up at 7 your body will wake up without an alarm, now wake up at 6 because it’s a new 7. I’m sure you will wake up no problem. Now we will change it every 6 months so you will always need alarm. God! I hate it!

    I feel so heard. I refused to change mine last time, so now they are all “officially” correct.

    But now you’re running early since you mentally shave an hour off out of habit.
