At a $99 pricepoint with a forced Nintendo Switch Online requirement for an alarm clock, I'm more surprised that someone has an Alarmo.

The subscription is only required to buy it, and only until mid January. It's possible to use Alarmo without an active NSO subscription.

Inb4 they "update" the firmware and suddenly they stop working if you're not subscribed

Never update the firmware on devices you have no issues with (if you have the choice). I learned that the hard way when I updated my LG B2 this year and now it has VRR flicker at any framerate below its refreshrate… And ofc I can‘t downgrade.

Updates for big corporate stuff rarely come with useful features or improvements anyway, just with more ads.

I‘m ranting, apologies.

You say that as if companies weren't pushing over the air firmware updates these days

That‘s why I said „if you have the choice,“ I certainly won‘t connect my next TV to the internet.

It was only a matter of time

You could say that this isn't very alarming

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait a second. I've just woken up, to what's happening here!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is starting to tick me off. Now you've got me all wound up!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have no time for such things.

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

Now make it so you have to beat e1m1 for the alarm to turn off.

Neat! Good to see it's actually running Doom, and not a "we replaced everything in the case" thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I almost forgot the alarmo
