I hate dials on microwaves, it’s annoying to enter an exact time. Keypad and start/stop buttons please.

If we are going to get fancy wifi/Ethernet just for ntp so the time is always right.

Digital dials with a pseudo-log scale are the best and fastest to enter and adjust precise times.

I don't have current time display on my microwave, it doesn't hinder my microwave performance in any way, so that problem doesn't exist for me.

Sure the performance isnt hindered. The microwaves will keep microwaving. The food will just be blasted into an inedible state.

Dealing with this right now; At someone's place with such a dial microwave and they work around its incredible lack of precision at the consequence of burned or frozen food.
