> Not every appliance needs a motor or batteries, let alone a computer. So true. What's even worse is the half-baked stuff. There are, like, a dozen clocks embedded in various objects in my house. I've learned the whole list. How, you ask? I need to change them back or forward 1 hour twice a year. The darned things are not DST-aware, to say nothing about the absence of any capability of syncing to NTP or GSM or GPS.
