Hope I'm not alone in this - Appliances should only have relative timers.
It only needs to know how to run a program for 30 min, or activate with a delayed start in 5h. Clock time is meaningless for an oven.
Appliance companies, are you listening? Hint: they're not, circuitry design and manufacture has been outsourced so much they probably don't even know where they get it from.
Yeah — stop making me reset the god damn oven, microwave, and coffee maker every time the power flickers. At the very least my coffee maker has a small battery in it that seems to endure shorter outages, but if manufacturers aren’t willing to have a back up battery for this, then they should take out the god damn clock altogether. It’s mostly pointless— especially these days. My microwave is so tedious too — it asks the day, month, and year. Why does my microwave need to know the fucking date? It actually serves no purpose.
"I want this to finish at 6PM" can be easier maths than 11h 15m from now.
