Huh this shouldn't happen with direct GPS synced devices, but things like microwaves don't generally have direct GPS... they use regular clock chips (with or without wifi) or grid-synchronization (rare nowadays I think), so they're a degree or two removed from GPS.https://twitter.com/nevali/status/1267764838547238912 …

Cheap, non-IoT devices don’t sync at all. It’s not worth the cost of the WiFi or GPS modules unless the device needed them for another reason.

If they were fine before and suddenly went wild, i have no idea. If they always kept drifting, then it's likely just bad clocks - that GPS syncing is often added at the expense of clock quality. I.e. i got a smartwatch that drifts minutes per week indoors out of sight of GPS.

Another common design flaw is things only syncing (i.e. over the internet) at boot time and never again. So when power outages are rare they would drift.
