I used to have a smart clock from Lenovo, filled with the typical Big Tech Spying On You Goodness. I went to buy one to hack that nonsense out of it, only to find they're too expensive. So I did the next best thing and built my own from scratch, including my first PCB design! And thus, Clock McClockington was born.
