- gumby 6y agoHa, my ex would have been furious as DRM would have prevented subs to cooking programs from her or my countries, but just ones for USA food.

- AnotherGoodName 6y agoI suspect this would be similar to the first full screen smart phones. I had one of those. Long before the iPhone was a thing. It sucked. The idea is good. It'll just take a while before someone gets the implementation right.
- Yen 6y agoDisclaimer: I currently work for June Oven. The June Oven does this, and it works pretty darn well IMO. It's using just a video camera to do food recognition, but it's fairly high-accuracy for recognizing supported foods. The first few times you do it, frankly, it feels kinda magical. But, actually, a lot of my usage doesn't lean on the pre-set programs. Rather, I do a lot of 'reheat leftovers' by sticking a temperature probe into the food, hooking it in to the oven, and having the oven automatically reheat until the internal temperature is warmed.
