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

[-] caut_R@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] caut_R@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

You could say that this isn't very alarming

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have no time for such things.

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] heavy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

I almost forgot the alarmo
