You can see a technology connection a mile away

I just remembered that this video is where I got the idea from and came to edit my comment to link it! It should be possible to build something like that in 2025, no? Why is every microwave I see in stores the exact same microwave my parents bought 30 years ago but in black?

My microwave does all of the humidity sensing stuff and has an inverter. Setting it to 70% doesn’t mean 70% of the time it’s on at full power (ie PWM), it means it’s running continuously at 70% power. I haven’t watched that TC video in a while but I’m pretty sure that’s a PWM microwave, so I think mine has the edge. It was made in 2024 and cost $140.

It’s so absurd that Panasonic still has exclusive rights to that. It was never a novel idea and they’ve been profiteering and holding back humanity for nearly a full human lifetime at this point.

[-] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Did they license it to others? Mine isn’t Panasonic.

Surprisingly, I looked up inverter microwave reviews on RTINGS and they said it’s mostly marketing fluff aside from a few edge cases, such as trying to soften a tablespoon of butter.

They do license it out. Interesting take from rtings, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of them getting something wrong compared to my opinion/experience.

[-] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, gotta agree there. It does seem like the inverter works better but maybe it’s just because I’m now using the power settings much more often.

Black plastic doesn't yellow like white. Microwaves are pretty much a commoditized item. Unless they're trying to make it a "smart device" and sell you a subscription.
