The mechanical dials bit makes me jealous. I have a fancy new one that has a drawer mechanism and is built in under the counter.

It has settings to disable the chime, the 30 second “omg your food is still in the microwave” reminder, and even all sounds.

But doing anything that isn’t just pushing a couple numbers and start is hopeless. Defrost or “melt”? Enter the food code (???) then the weight (just guess randomly at the units and start over if you’re wrong). I just run at 30% power to defrost the occasional thing now.

We were sold a lie. Seems he’s always been a grifter.

Here’s a whole episode of Some More News about it.
