What’s wrong with a old fashioned physical timer?
My digital timers have a ton of labeled times I’ve set for various things. One press and I’m set, and I can have multiple going at once and know at a glance which one is done or nearly so. My memory isn’t good enough to keep track of how long things take, and I lose physical notes. Having those notes all saved within a clock app attached to their own timers is far too convenient for me to do away with
I have completely forgot about that use for them
I get distracted and twist them with too much force, and then they’re just broken :(
Can get cheap electric timers
At some point we need to develop the steps to help people out of these abusive relationships.
They need to add a 3 back to the clock. That 3 bug is a big problem.
Windows usually does this the first time you open a pre-installed app in an installation.
New calendar system incoming lol
I’ll recommend you install a third party application prehaps someone has made a decent Foss alternative to the windows clock app
That’s likely the case, but the clock application is very much something I would not only expect to come with the operating system, but would consider it a solved problem in the first place. I should not need to look for a FOSS clock. It should be standard feature everywhere, and just work. I could have whipped out a passible clock app second year of university.
Yeah but system updates can break any app and would require an update
I feel like there’s been a growing number of “shit windows does” posts on lemmy recently. It makes me glad I dropped that OS long ago.
Legit, why do simple apps like timers need updates? Makes me wonder what kind of bloat features (or spyware??) they’re adding.
BloatyNosy, thank me later

It’s an msix application. (98% certain) For some reason Microsoft set it to upgrade from any Version and prompt or rather forcefully updated to latest version on launch.
