@futurebird Is this a shitpost or something you actually saw? I really hope this is a joke.

@futurebird I'm going to use the popcorn button on whoever did this awful shit. I hope they're prepared for the fire alarm to go off in the middle of the night.

AI powered microwave. Everyone must be laughing at this. This is such a joke.
People don't even use the damn popcorn button and that ... kind of works.
@futurebird I’m not laughing, necessarily, depending on the “AI” tech being used.
I have rice maker we bought when we lived in Japan, 2009-2011. It uses “fuzzy logic “ to make what you want and it makes PERFECT RICE every time, regardless of the type of rice or if the water amount is not exactly right. Fuzzy logic has been around since the ‘80s. (Same tech controls where to position elevators in skyscrapers).

I want an AI-powered microwave that runs a 15 second self-cleaning operation to interfere with the 2.4MHz band, every time it detects someone connecting a legacy 802.11n device or router next door that invades the air space here...@petabites @futurebird You can make a decent short range EMP weapon out of an old microwave oven. DIY plans on the internet. Illegal in most jurisdictions of course. My comment is purely educational in intent.

@jimkreft @TerryHancock @futurebird all right, who's hacking the microwave microphone next?

Orville Redenbacher has the most dire popcorn button warnings, and the stuff IS easy to burn. But the button on our microwave seems to work perfectly. Moisture sensor instead of straight timer. (Yeah, love Technology Connections, and had already watched this one. I'm just the kind of nerd to love his stuff.) -

@futurebird I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't reheat that.

@polinamials @futurebird I get that all the time, in various forms, from my home automation. It does no good to argue and it does not take instruction well. Right now it is sulking.

You see this is how they getcha yeah yeah yeah we have popcorn buttons. Sounds fun right? Sounds like the future? But every packet of popcorn says "do not use the popcorn button" on it and sometimes the button makes perfect popcorn, sometimes it burns your house down.
Not so excited now are you?

@futurebird heh I’d be surprised if two vendors would even agree on suitable settings. Plus you need different for different packaging sizes anyway.

@futurebird @mirabilos WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE TORMENT NEXUS BUTTON REPEAT DO NOT PRESS THE TORMENT NEXUS BUTTON

The buttons used the humidity or the frequency of pops to time it perfectly, but some packaging styles make this not work.
But if you pop it in a paper bag it works great most of the time.

I'd never heard of this before, so I had to check for myself. I just never had the desire to use the popcorn button, I was always a 'wait until it stops audibly popping' sort of girl.
And damned if it's not right there.
(Now I have popcorn, at least.)

Ok but where do you stand on the reheat button?
At work a grad student introduced me to it because our work microwave looks like it’s having an issue when using the reheat button (no numbers or words just a blank screen with a cursor tracing the outline of the screen), I use it routinely at home and work but wonder if 1 min pulses might be better .

@futurebird do you find microwave ovens simple?
i use them very seldom, and usually someone has to help me. last time i managed to get the thing spinning, but on zero watts. the knobs look like on a scope, except they are not marked usefully?

@futurebird @troublewithwords was Magnetron an autobot or a decepticon? I get them mixed up.
@llewelly It's both in this case, this is an autobot pulling a decepticon @futurebird @troublewithwords

@futurebird @mirabilos It seems to me that almost everything built "to help you", especially the "press one button and voila!" type conveniences, are inherently dodgy. I love tech, but don't trust it much. I can make my own popcorn, correct my own writing, lock my car doors when needed, etc. I prefer rock solid surety over supposed convenience.
