House came with a builtin over/microwave combo.

Ohh wifi option... FUCK THAT... NO FUCKING WAY I'LL ADD THIS POS TO MY WIFI

Clock is WAY wrong, scroll through settings and update it to the second.

Next day, Clock is off by 1m... maybe I didn't do it right

Next day, Clock is off by 2m

Next day, 3 minutes, jesus that's a lot of drift.

OK fuck this thing, go through settings to turn the clock off.

THERE IS NO SETTING FOR THAT

So I can:

A. Leave the clock ever wrong where it'll be right like once ever couple months

B. Set the clock every couple days

C. Create a internet only + isolation VLAN and put this POS into it.

get a smart plug and power cycle every night at midnight

And then the smart plug begins to time drift....

No big deal, just set the time back to midnight every few days. Problem solved.
