Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

[hallunke23@troet.cafe]

It's for charging your USB devices (e. g. phone etc.)

While you microwave them.

@futurebird To daisy chain your air gapped smart kitchen devices so they can communicate!

@futurebird
To charge your phone.

(This is a wrong answer, because it either doesn't work, your phone will be stolen while charging it, or charging will take 10x as long as using your dedicated charger.)

@futurebird it's not like it could be Bluetooth, the Faraday cage blocks the 2.4Ghz signals...

@futurebird to plug in the turbo-encabulator.

It's the pro version with 2 game controller slots. You get to beat the other player and rotate the dish in your direction if you win.

Allows the microwave to switch into two-player mode.

@futurebird To microwave data sticks to remove any digital pathogens.

@futurebird I influence the food to make a kissy face when I photograph it.

[outer@mas.to]

@futurebird @kevpeirce That's so you can use your phone for a rice cooker.

[nichtsicher@flokinet.social]

@futurebird To charge the microwave.

@futurebird It's inside it!

[aether@dragon.style]

@futurebird To add extra byte to your food.

The right one is marked "Start/Stop", so I assume a bluetooth dongle would suffice. On the other (wireless) end is a big red button. There may be some difficulty with the Stop function, as microwaves notoriously noisy in the BT spectrum.

The left one is marked "Speed Defrost". Must be a speedy way to defrost electronics brought inside from the freezing outside. Handy!

To run your smart air fryer

@futurebird So you can communicate with your food as you cook it.
