I haven’t used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don’t seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

    You don’t want to connect them to the internet? Like what, your oven? You don’t want your oven connected to the internet?! What if you have to raise or lower the cooking temperature or change the cooking time? If you’re doing that on the oven itself, you’re missing literal seconds away from your telephone screen. It can add up to minutes over the course of a week, depending on how often you cook. So now you know!

      I remember a few years ago there was some super popular brand of smoker (like to cook food) that had an internet connection. On Thanksgiving Day they pushed out a software update that made the smoker unsuable to several hours. I saw tons of posts of people who were planning to cook their Thanksgiving turkey in their smoker but couldn’t use it because it was undergoing a system update.

          I found it. It was a pellet grill, not a smoker, from Trager Grills. They’re a pretty big and reputable company. And they’re an American company, so it’s not even like they didn’t know it was a holiday in the US.
