I've gone through 3 of those. They overheat in minutes & do not last.
Lulbat
The fan is strong but the lights are annoying so I burnt the wire for the lights.

Hey mister clockfan, blow me some time. Make it the windiest time that I've ever checked.

But can it run Doom?
Frankiejoneston
I have that same exact fan. It's neat but it also rattles really loudly due to the lack of stability with the flexible arm. I never use it.
Chainhealer
My cat would love to destroy that. Like everything else in my life.

Ah yes, no comments, no favourites, first post, and it's some shitty "product". Spam. Report, downvote. The spam link will come soon enough.

1990s BrookStone called, they want their clock back.

This is the kind of stuff we need to stop making. Pointless waste of resources. Completely unnecessary waster of electricity... I want one.

Should be 4:20 when you turn it on

Would this completely break once the motor gets worn and the fan doesn't spin at that exact speed anymore?
DaveTheScientist
It would be easy enough to program a calibration to correct for that, but yes, it would get wonky over time without adjustment.
Nuclearwaste9
Fan blade will chip and become imbalanced before the motor goes.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
It's not already by placing lights only on one side?
JeevesMk2
No two motors are ever exactly the same speed, usually these sorts of things have a hall sensor in to signal a full revolution.
CiderMaker
These fucking things may or may not melt the fuck out of your USB port if you don't monitor them

That doesn't have a clock, just a couple predefined messages like "I love you" and "I miss you." Doesn't seem to be programmable.

I had one of these a decade ago. It gets only power from USB. You set the time (each time) with a single button in an almost impossible way.
PastaLaPizzaBaby
Just put it in at 12:00
Dahnzo
The button is also on the blade and you can only set it while it's moving...

Some USB ports are powered on when computer is off for charging purpose. Try different ports?
Manorexia
I had a similar clock that was a LED wand. Was shit at tracking time. Like 15min drift every week
I have this same one. It retains the time though.. But now I'm not quite sure how. Trickle power through USB even though the pc is off?
But does it also retain time when unplugged? (Some USB ports remain powerd when you PC is off. a.o. so you can power it on using keyboard)
Probably not. I don't use it much because it makes an annoying rattling sound when it's on
bobquznie
Wife got me one a few years ago. It was neat but quit working after 4 months.
ImgurisluvImgurislife
Mine lasted about a week

They should introduce some kind of a connection to a computer which could then provide the time. Maybe some kind of a serial bus.
taurondir
well, its a "gimmick". There is EASIER ways to get a gizmo to show A CLOCK
batukhan
Yes. Then go to www.usbthings.cn and download fanclock.exe
Dude1925
Best make it universal too, so it can help with the many other things you could connect to your computer.
SparklingUnicornFarts
Better throw in a rectangle connector witch never fits on first try while they're at it.
randomlettrs
But lets not use USB name or pin order. Just reverse polarity.
popemorganCDXX
?
nalananda
Brutal. You’d think a little battery could be put in there to keep the clock..
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Or just get time from the computer through USB
L0P1L0RE
Well i think a USB connection itself is in a different computational league, than whatever chip is in there
It requires a driver. but the bus is 'Universal' so this definitly is possible.
Well the bus is, but there are a LOT of steps to take if you wanna transmit data, i don’t know how much of the computing the mcu has to do
HaveANiceFace
It is possible, but much more expensive.
bl0rpen
weeeell. I mean technically it's not that expensive to add a USB serial module, but that would require drivers, and eh.
