Probably not. But it would be rad if it could run Doom.

Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn’t turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.
Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.

quick, hit the manual override before it’s too late 🖲️

I wonder how long it takes for the firmware update to take place. A few minutes? An hour?
I recognize the community I’m in rn. Just curious about how long it actually takes. I doubt it takes very long, or happens very often.
In a similar vein was the location of the charging port on the Apple mouse. Sure it seems asinine, but you only charge it like once a month, so it really isn’t an actual issue. It was just an excuse to hate on Apple products.

They could have made it possible for the user to choose when to update, for example after using it. Apple could have just stuck the oirt in front and let people charge while using the mouse. Both have no downsides

I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that it is likely not as big of an issue as people make it.

In regards to your apple mouse example, surely it’s relevant to know how long the charging process is. The hangups I would have are when the interruption happens, how quickly is it resolved, similar to your points about the firmware on the grill.
If it takes 30 seconds to recharge to a point of usability, fine, no real harm. But if it takes 10-20 minutes to get to a usable state, then we have an issue.
A related scenario is if the Nintendo switch drains completely of battery; even plugging it into a dock and trying to play docked, you still have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to give it enough juice to boot back up.

Having used these mice, you can get through the day with like a 2-minute charge, then leave it overnight to cover the next few months.
SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
A quick search suggests that a 2 minute charge will provide a few hours of use, while it takes about 2 hours to charge it fully. Whether that is acceptable or not is up to the user, of course. But to me that seems pretty reasonable. Though none of this really matters for me, as I don’t use mice.

Remember to update your grill and turn it off before Thanksgiving!

Will pray for your success for 7 days if you send me any BTC — even 1 satoshi. 🕯️🙏
Yup, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
If you send any amount of Bitcoin — even the smallest — I will:
• 🕯️ Light a candle,
• 🙏 Say a prayer or meditation with your name (or username),
• ✨ Wish you good fortune, clear thinking, abundance, or whatever intention you DM me.
I’ve been doing this quietly for a while now, and honestly… it feels good. So I figured I’d open it to the community.
I’m not promising riches or miracles — just good vibes and spiritual effort. Think of it as spiritual proof-of-work.
🔗 BTC address: bc1qgr3w7tkdnajgcnvu9l0dvutae2s6pfpr5x99ja
(DM me if you want a specific intention added to the prayer)
Whether you send or not, I hope you succeed in what matters to you. Be well.
