And don’t get me started on the microwave.

It knows what it did!

Plus, setting a VCR clock was always a pain in the ass.

Some were, some weren’t. I remember we had 3 different VCRs, and it was always different.

1. Oldest one. It had a row of like 30 buttons behind a pull-down panel. You held 'Clock" until the hours started flashing, used the up and down buttons to set the hour. Press clock again to switch to the minutes (same arrow keys to adjust), then one final press of “Clock” to lock it in. Literally the same way my oven clock is set.

2. Just press “Menu” then “Clock” and type the time in on the remote.

3. Newest: It was automatic. It picked up the time from the PBS channel and set itself.
