Awesome! The world needs more NTP-powered (alarm) clocks. If you want a self-setting clock traditionally that meant an atomic clock, but those are expensive. Google Home / Alexa based smart devices (like the Lenovo Smart Clock) are cool but are a bit overkill (and a bit questionable from a privacy aspect). It'd be nice to see more NTP clocks that do little more than show the time and have basic alarm functionality.
It is completely disgusting how The New York Times would publish such an article that is essentially trying to normalize the illegal act of knowingly holding a sexually indecent conversation with an underage individual. These individuals wholly deserve the entire book being thrown at them.
