I've never actually seen any microwave with a turn dial that has any sort of electronics in them, those are all built almost identical in schematics, aside from different sizes and wattages. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [β] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Well, generally speaking, most people discussing the benefits of appliances and stuff with turn dials are referring to older/simpler appliances, back before they started adding in unnecessary electronics and βfeaturesβ and stuff. i don't know why you'd assume that. lots of current/new appliances are still made with dials and knobs. in fact, most are. also, you're the only one here discussing microwaves. so far, others and myself have been discussing refrigerators and laundry appliances. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] over_clox@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) OP mentioned microwave ovens in the comment that you responded with "I hate to break it to you..", so yeah guess you missed something there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [β] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago i guess you missed the part when i said "i wasn't referring to old appliances," because you're only talking about old microwaves. and since you're clearly just here to troll and argue. i'm blocking you. bye. permalink fedilink source parent [β] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) referring to older/simpler appliances I think his point is that older and simpler can't be equated like that, because new simple appliances are still electronic, not electromechanical anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [β] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago They still produce them in limited models. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Amana-3-5-cu-ft-Top-Load-Washer-with-Dual-Action-Agitator-White/1003201568? permalink fedilink source parent [β] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* New appliances still don't need to have 'smart' technology to work, but where the hell do you purchase a new air conditioner these days that doesn't require an app to operate? Seriously, you can't even find a dumb air conditioner anymore, at least not in my area. That was just the first step in enshittification, when they broke from available manuals and standardized parts. Now you gotta have a WiFi connection and online account to even access a new air conditioner, washing machine, etc. The stores don't even offer dumb appliances anymore. There's no reason that a microwave should even exist online, especially after the borked update that bricked many of them with a bad firmware update that was meant for a food steamer.
