AEG combi microwave unusable after update: device thinks it is a steam oven

To this day I wish things like WWV (https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/time-di...) worked better. Folks from Ninja Networks attempted to use something like that on their DEFCON 17 badges (https://www.wired.com/2009/08/hacking-the-defcon-17-badges/) but it required folks to be stationary too long to sync time.

Seeing as most major appliances are stationary it would have struck me as a good fit (with the exception of time zones / DST).

I don't understand this constraint as it was possible to buy wristwatches that could do this back in the early 1990s and probably earlier (that was when I saw one for the first time).

Wristwatches often have at least sometime outdoors where signal propigation is going to be way better.
