I wonder if the clock is intentionally that bad as a way to annoy its ~~victims~~ users into giving it an internet connection

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

it might be, but the interface is also slow as balls

First you hit microwave (because it operates both the mirowave AND the oven

The chime is instant but the menu load, that takes a good 700 ms

then you press cook, there's a menu of 4 items which are all just cook with extra steps. that's another 700ms and a 50% chance of not registering your click.

you get a horizontal two line number pad 1-5, 6-0 with a little hit box in the lower left for power

you enter in 90 for seconds, and click power (optional)

i shit you now, power is a scrolling slider, you swipe left and right to up up and down by 10%

micro->cook->9 0 -> power -> swipe90, ->swipe 80, swipe 70, swipe 60, swipe 50, swipe 40 -> next -> start

The other menus are worse, it starts asking you questions about the thing it's defrosting, satisfying some form of flow chart inside to do a lookup of power and time.

the only good thing I can say about it, it' has a proper popcorn button that stops early when the corn stops popping. It's never burned a bag or left extra kernels.
