Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@futurebird theres a USB type B port on the back, its a USB hub for your computer. When connected, the microwave is also exposed as a USB serial device allowing it to be computer controlled.

@futurebird wait i shouldnt give smart device manufacturers ideas they will do this but making it wifi connected [TM] instead

@futurebird Being a food influencer I know those are for web cams. So you can post your ramen heating up from two angles.

@Mungencakes

What do you influence the food to do exactly?

I can't tell where the typo is in that sentence. Elegant.

@ehproque @futurebird Why does it need security updates? Because someone could connect a malicious device to a USB port, of course!

@SoftwareTheron @futurebird I didn't notice the typo lmao but I like it better this way, it's like I'm giving the microwave a gift.
a creepy gift.
but a gift nonetheless

@pthane
That only works if you reduce the frequency of the microwaves, though.

@futurebird for directly cooking hotdogs with electricity, reminiscent of The Hot Dogger from the 1970s . Just plug the other end of the USB cord directly into the hot dog!!

@futurebird there is no right answer. This is a trick question!

@futurebird
That's where the cook comes out when they're expressed.

@apLundell @futurebird bro might be cooking

@yugthebug @apLundell

If you beatbox too close to the microwave you'll burn the popcorn.

[blp@framapiaf.org]

@futurebird Because if they were in the microwave you'd end up cooking your phone

@futurebird @apLundell wouldnt it stop early?
