Getting them on the internet of things can't happen too soon for my liking.

Mine blew up destroyed the magnetron inside guarantee a few years back
and I was surprised to see inside that the mother board had a wifi
networking chipset on it. The service guy told me that in theory you
could scan the QR code on a product and it sets the timer accordingly.

However, AFAIK this functionality has still not been fully implemented
on any production models or enabled on existing ones. The hardware was
physically present in the build but the firmware support was/is not.

I was rather pleased to find that my new latest toy (GoPro 9) sets the
date and time either when you enable GPS or connect it to a smart phone.

GPS has become the time standard of choice these days.
