What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet? (lemmy.world)

Batteries inside of stove/microwave/coffee machine/etc. with the sole purpose of keeping the time from resetting when it loses power.

I've conditioned myself fully by this point to only use the clock on the stove as an indicator of whether my power has or has not gone out

How often does your power go out? Why can't you be bothered to set the time every ~10 years that probably happens?

[-] the_doolittle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'll have momentary power losses probably once or twice per quarter, depending on bad thunderstorms or nearby construction, things that happen worldwide and affect power grids indiscriminately.

I do set my stove clock, I just ironically find it more useful to not improve it in this ridiculously simple way because it's a good indicator of whether my home has had a power outage. Lol
