Adjusting clocks

It's funny how in this day of modern technology we still need to adjust most of the clocks manually. Not to mention how archaic it is to use daylight saving times to begin with. But as long as we don't get rid of it, it needs to be done twice a year.

Computers, phones and smart watches at least are smart enough to do the adjustment automatically. Of course the analogue clocks can't do it and I still like to keep them around the house. The "smart" home appliances are a different story. They claim to be smart, but can't handle even this little thing.

It's not just that it needs to done manually. It's that they don't even have an easy setting to switch it on and off. You need to dabble with the confusing menus (each one having their own, weird logic) and then adjust the time by the minute, wither by clicking a button 60 times or scrolling a wheel for the same effect.

At least my current ones are a bit more advanced than some of the devices I remember from the past. The worst always insisted starting from so.e obscure, past year (probably the release year of the thing) to set the time and date all over again instead just adjusting the current set one.
