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.

Did air fryers already displace microwaves? I've missed the last couple meetings

Microwaves are great a two things (and little else...): warm up liquids and make popcorn. Neither are properly done by an air fryer.

I have both tools and they have completely different uses.

edit: both sport 7-segment digits though

I think maybe the original killer app for microwaves was baked potatoes? An hour to cook in a conventional oven. 5 minutes in a microwave. But maybe no one eats those anymore?

I eat one on most nights. I wouldn't without my microwave oven.
