This is why I genuinely feel like this stuff should be open sourced. There is no way that the firmware in a modern microwave is providing them some competitive advantage. Not everyone can recompile firmware but some helpful individual on a forum could dive in to it, provide an updated build, and share flashing instructions.
Manufacturers close source things by default but there’s so much improvements the hackers of the world could make to things if we had source code and schematics. I think it’s a real shame that the status quo is closed source by default.
