confounded by technology
Jan. 12th, 2025 07:36 amOkay, so USUALLY I wake up around 6:30 and turn on the radio. But SOMETIMES I sleep in, and today I learned that at 7 am, the radio turns ITSELF ON, but in cd mode?!?!? And then it TURNS ITSELF OFF at 8 am.
This is boggling to me. It is indeed the SAME radio that I had way back in college (and before!), so it is over 20 years old. And I very vaguely recall that in my freshman year of college, I had it set to turn itself on as my morning wake up alarm, because I remember there was a Christmas music cd in it, and I heard the first few seconds every morning before I turned it off with the remote. (TWO ROOMMATES, YIKES.)
And maybe, POSSIBLY the radio remembers that, somehow??? After being unplugged so many times? Why in the world is it turning itself on and off? BOGGLING.
