True. My microwave drifts quite excessively. However it can give a reliable time together with the oven. The oven was designed by some crazy ppl and thus it's almost impossible to change the time. It's usually correct with the minutes and doesn't seem to drift, but for half of the year it's wrong because of daylight saving. Combined with the microwave that is probably like 5-20 minutes ahead but at least close tot he right hour you can get a good sense of the actual time.

I am "all the clocks in the kitchen set" gang.
Analogue one on the wall, microwave and oven. If they drift I'll fix them.
It's a busy house. Two of the kids get the train to school and minutes matter to them so in the morning you'll frequently hear "time check" from one room and whoever's in the kitchen (or has their phone to hand) will shout back the answer. It just makes things that tiniest bit smoother.

You're gonna have to elaborate on that for my tiredness addled brain.
I only see 2 "it" in there and I don't see any of them being pivotal to the overall meaning.Also, welcome to lemmy!

I've been lurking hereish for a while things just weren't spicy enough to assume i wouldn't be banned after a first post.

AH! "What time is". I get it now. Thanks.
Ah the ban hammer is not used here nearly as much (instance dependent but dbzer is a solid one AFAIK). Glad you decided to jump in anyway.

Just gave up on setting my microwave clock because of random power outages

My power goes out like once a month. At least I also pay some of the highest electricity prices in the world in exchange for that reliability….

I’m getting there but I can’t believe this is still not a solved problem:
- smart watch synchronous time
- home automation hub keeps time over programmable switch
- kitchen clock is an Alexa accessory so time is synched
- microwave is “efficient”, meaning I can’t get the damn clock to stay on
- expensive coffeemakers don’t have clocks
“Atomic” and Ethernet clocks exist but why is there still so little variety and are not in appliances? I just got a decorative clock and spent way too much time looking for an atomic or Ethernet one that I liked before settling on one I have to set twice a year plus whenever the batteries die

Yes, it's a solved problem. Just don't put clocks on ever damning single appliance.
why is there still so little variety
Every appliance is built by the same local company that buys all the components (including firmware) from the same Chinese company.

My house came with a built-in microwave/convection oven combo.
It had a Wi-Fi symbol on it and I'm like no fucking way I'm hooking this up to the internet. I manually set the clock and walked away.
The next day was a minute off, The day after that another minute off. I set the clock again in case there was a drift detection
Nope. There's also no way to make the clock not come up.
And that's how my microwave got its own isolation VLAN.

I just realized this for myself too. Wow.
I’m considering getting a clock for my kitchen
