This came up in a Reddit thread[1] yesterday; anecdote from there[2]:
> "My favorite part is I have 3 Samsung Wifi Appliances including microwave and double oven and I really couldn’t think of a great feature other than the clock automatically setting. Well fuck me when I found out they don’t set themselves at all, and in fact they don’t even have memory so the slightest power outage means I have to reset $3k worth of appliances manually. Oh and each of them have different ways to set the clock so it’s always fun trying to set them differently in PM. No I’m not salty."
