But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all...)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the "brain capacity", neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,... It is an extremely simple "skill".

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

Because it's not! Glad to help you clear that up.

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it's 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it's going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / ... ). Not saying you can't get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.

I feel like I'm going insane reading these comments about how difficult it is to read analog clocks, how it needs too much understanding of maths, how it takes too long,...

Can someone please confirm: you just look, for a fraction of a second, at the clock face and know the time, right?

Learning to read the clock was like... A couple of lessons and some homework in the 2nd grade, and everyone got it.

Actually.. Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.

But hey, at least the acknowledge that there's the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.

Holy shit YES!

That article is from yesterday, and the relevant section is: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/22/voice-chapter-11/#improved-sentence-matching

Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!
