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 meant seen as in seen it named. Just because the seven segment display is there doesn’t mean it’s named that on the box, while in the past there might be more stuff with those displays and it would be a callout on the box design possibly.

I got ratioed here, for some reason, so I guess I didn’t communicate properly. Most people here are nerds who might know what this is called but the average person doesn’t.
