Projekt 52 Week 18: Technology
The topic of week 17 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
Technology
Since I have to deal with computers anyway, this picture wasn’t all that far-fetched, since the object is on my desk:
To those of you who’d like to see large technology in the shape of cranes like Nina or „My little corner“, I’d suggest my illustrated “fairy tale” Bruno the Strong and the magic staircase.

A radio-controlled clock is wrong…

Apart from the fact that in (not only) my opinion we could do without these clock changes – then, though, without the one in autumn, I prefer it when it gets dark later –:
If a radio-controlled clock is programmed so stupidly that it checks for the correct time only once per day at 00:00 (12:00 am) (even though this makes the programming process easier since that’s the situation after inserting new batteries) and thus is wrong almost the entire Sunday, this, I think, really doesn’t indicate a thoroughly working and sufficiently thinking manufacturer.
At least temperature and pressure-based forecast seemed to be correct… But, well, it was only TCM, the private brand of discounter Tchibo.
