My microwave oven clock is drifting (which affect cooking time as well), and I would like to see if I can manage to program drift compensation on it.

Has there ever been?

That's because they would break very often and manufacturers figured it was better for their brand image if they let customers replace their own vacuum tubes.

I can't connect the TV to the Internet without reading the source code first, and most likely removing spyware
