A modern nixie tube clock of great ambition, regrettably IoTed

There are also terrestrial time stations whose signals might be easier to get than GPS in some situations. (Or not? I don’t know. I know they exist.)

It would seem pretty simple to have one or two passive radio time signal receivers in the clock getting UTC and then have a literal knob on the front to set the local offset.

Is changing the time by hand twice a year really that big a deal?

And if so, shouldn’t DST just be abolished?

Building web servers into all the world’s timepieces does not seem like the right answer.
