>go to Germany>buy random cheap alarm clock - weather station combo in supermarket because I don't like using alarm in my phone>turns out this thing listens to some radio station and sets time automatically Damn, they really do live on another level
>>218780283I have the exact same thing!
>>218780283Dude, these radio-based (so-called) "atomic clocks" have been common in stores like Walmart for like 20 years.Still, yes, it's cool not to have to set the time manually.
>>218780588nigga unless its in germany no one cares
>>218780588I always assumed it's only a feature of expensive high-end models of casio watches.
>>218780634There's the nationalist-socialist German we all love :)
>>218780660That's all I meant to say, it's been in low-end stuff for a while, too.Re-reading my post if I was disparaging, apologies.
I have a Casio watch that does this except the German station doesn’t reach Istanbul.
>>218780283Hasn't this been standard since like 2000? Even my cheap outlet store 200kr / €20 clock radio does that.
>>218780283I literally have this shit in my room right now and it's Chinese.The problem is, it's impossible to adjust the settings for.And not just because it's Chinese, there's no Chinese on it other than the brand name. The reason why it's so hard to adjust the setting for is because there are only 3 buttons. Yes, no, and an arrow. 100 functions, and only 3 buttons.
Don't you guys have phones?
>>218781352Yes but I don't have any screens in my bedroom. It's on it's charging stand in the hallway when I sleep.
>>218781352"Low tech" lol single purpose electronics like this make me feel good.
>>218781352It's nice to glance up and see my combo clock and weather station. I know glancing up from my phone is a real unc thing to do.
>>218780283Ok
>>218781352Yes, but the phone isn't a reliable thermometer due to the sensors being inside it so even when it's idle, the cpu works in the background, so it's hotter than indoor temperature.
