I'm looking to get a replacement microwave, and one of my (few) options is an LG "Lightwave" microwave. I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find any real information on this lightwave technology, even though it's been around for years. Most of my searches are highly polluted with "review" sites that either just list the tech specs or regurgitate what LG says. The very few short customer snippets I found are either "it broke for me" or "it works great". Seems to me the ease of adding ads to your pages is drowning the Internet in useless autogenerated cruft.

Does anyone know if this "Lightwave" technology is worth getting into or just a marketing trick?

    I think an ultrasonic screwdriver would do better than a Lightwave microwave

    Just buy the one with the fewest buttons. I prefer microwave ovens with a high degree of "fire and forget". It is for example rather pointless to use a microwave for popcorn if it takes minutes of programming just to get them started.

    Yes, I was fooled by the one I got having two obvious dials, but as it turned out also a bunch of buttons. The previous one (back in Denmark) just had a timer dial and a power dial. Perfect.

#Security weirdness of the day: I followed a link to #Instagram, and it told me they'd noticed an unusual login. Now I hardly ever log in to Instagram, so I imagine any login would be tagged as unusual. But this login - which blocked me from viewing a public post until I answered whether it was me or not - was from two months ago. I have no idea if I logged in then. I might have, for whatever reason, but who remembers where they log in for several months? Not I. The follow-up page had me change my password, without any other kind of challenge. I got a mail afterwards, but seriously, that's some weird shit.

If only the sun flares in my photos were this impressive.

If only the sun flares in my photos were this impressive. Originally shared by Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) A Solar Filament Erupts Image Credit: NASA 's GSFC, SDO AIA Team https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180916.html What's happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual -- it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun's ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth's magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state ...
