@Habrok42 @fzer0 @perikitapreta @mrundkvist Counter point: You need some sort of Internet connection for NTP, GPS
doesn’t work indoors, those nifty DCF-77 clocks only work within roughly a thousand kilometres of Frankfurt, and the clock in the oven is the most used clock in many households.

@fzer0 @partim @Habrok42 @perikitapreta @mrundkvist the company I work for has resisted putting a RTC in our routers because the lithium battery requires its own set of disposal methods and needs to follow local regulations which are quite different around Europe, never mind world wide. Super caps wouldn't last long enough to be workable.

@partim @fzer0 @perikitapreta @mrundkvist Valid points, but:
- more and more devices want WiFi for their app
- GNSS signals can get into buildings good enough for the time (only 1 satellite needed for "good enough" time, not 4 for the position)
- there are transmitters like DCF-77 in many countries worldwide (on other frequencies)
- digital radio like DAB+ can easily transport a time signal
- devices like my CO2 monitor or thermometers do not need an always visible clock
