I bought a big clock for my kitchen. Think public school/ DMV size. It runs on 110 volts AC plugged into an outlet behind the clock. It was advertised as self-changing when DST starts and ends. But I had to set the initial time the normal way with a little wheel in back. Last night it changed to Standard Time all by itself!!! How did it do that?!? It is not wired to anything but my house current. I don't have WiFi.

It's a clock within a clock.... :wtf:


According to the Amazon advertisement:
This wall clock automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time through a patented on-board calendar, programmed at the factory.

Less creepy than Windows 10 turning itself on. Still haven't figured out how to block that. For now, I've just been pulling out the Ethernet cable to mess with the Bitcoin Miners.

Maybe it's simply a radio clock? It's hard to find a non-radio clock nowadays.

No definitely not. I have one of those and I like it. It updates constantly with the Mothership hovering above.
