There should be GPS but just for NTP. I don’t want any of my appliances to have internet access, but I wish they had the right time all the time. The only internet of things I want is the NTP of things.

@kommen @janl — Someone needs to tell the folks at AEG to put this in their ovens 🤣

@paulca @kommen would a small computer opening a WiFi just for the appliance work if it served NTP? That would not be super hard to set up.

@janl @kommen — I mean, if I had a smart appliance, I would probably just run it with the defaults and let my home firewall do what it does. I do not have a smart appliance, so I’m stuck with manual time setting when it inevitably drifts. The worst is that I have two ovens and they’re both off by a few seconds so not always quite in sync.
