I didn't found any option to set date/time on the SB Touch.
Have I missed it ?
Thanks

Like other SBs, the Touch generally gets its time from the server. So if
running regular SBS, make sure your server has the correct time. If
running TinySBS, then it will depend on a connection to the internet,
possibly through mysb.com, though I'm not sure about that. You can set
the timezone on

I don't have my Touch in front of me to check, but I expect the Touch's
version of busybox includes the 'date' command. If so, then you could
ssh into the Touch and set the internal clock that way.
Adding a date and time setting to the Touch ui probably wouldn't be
that onerous, and may be a

Serious indeed. I guess it's my mistake for trying to answer your
question (How can I set date/time on the Touch?), which I did. If you
want to discuss Why can't I input time manually on the Touch? or Why
doesn't TinySBS update via the internet? then that's different.
Perfectly valid questions,

Except that a non-geek would never depend on such a device to know the

Fyi, the slow Touch clock is a known issue

(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17164). I didn't see any
bug reports for Touch not routinely updating time
This has been discussed in depth in the following thread:

Look at post #7 for the command needed to actually set the time. This
does have to be done by logging into the Touch with SSH from another
computer.

Connecting to TinySBS with ssh requires another computer.
The point of using TinySBS is not to use another computer.
e.g. : you simply do not have another computer in the house where the
Touch is located.
Setting time with ssh is tedious, and out of question for a normal user
