Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make “smart” analog clocks now?
Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It’ll “automatically” change, but I have to turn it on/off. It’s basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.
I feel like mechanical clocks to account for daylight savings this would be a bit off after one or two leap years; could be doable but a bit complicated to design? Kinda fun to think about
I mean they would be, but that would still be much less clock-changing to do.
Radio controlled clocks exist. Not everything needs to be connected to the internet.
Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they’re not valid, just uncommon IMO.
Yeah it’s funny cause I recently made a post regarding my atomic synced watch on !watches@lemmy.ml. They’re pretty accurate. Though for my situation, I think I might test syncing outside to see if I can get lower latency.
