Six digit, not six segment. Each digit has seven segments.

I've seen this a LOT lately, when did everyone forget what segments were?

Young people may not have ever seen a display like that.

They most likely see displays like that on microwaves.

I understand a grandma could have had a microwave. After all, I remember radar ranges with mechanical timers that were already relics when I was a child. But, now you've got me wondering what kind of VR/holographic microwaves kids are buying.

My latest bought a couple years ago still has a 7-segment vacuum fluorescent display. And a digital encoder knob and buttons rather than membrane controls. And a "cyclonic" inverter, which from the marketing diagrams, you would think can bend reality to your whims.

I'm 46 and my grandma had a microwave by the time I was cooking in her kitchen in 1984.

> radar ranges with mechanical timers

Those were the best. Dead simple to operate. That said I still have the Goldstar microwave I bought over 30 years ago, which has a keypad and digital timer.

Our microwave has a fully graphic, monochrome LCD. And Wi-Fi. Of course. https://kalleboo.com/microblog/posts/109720164680381672.html
