Nope, my Microwave is older than i am and I’m not going to replace it until it breaks. It works perfectly, not even the light bulb burned through after almost 30 years of semi regular operation.
I don’t have the right to replace something that worked longer than me without it being broken.
No Faraday cage is perfect. They are all just attenuators. Likely the amount of microwave leakage allowed used to be greater when it was just safety in mind. Has the FCC updated in 30yr for microwave leakage to protect communications?
A microwave oven uses orders of magnitude more power than those, though. That said, the amount leaking through the Faraday cage is probably minimal. Still worth getting a modern microwave, they have better interfaces and faster cook times than the old ones.

Aside from letting it’s waves get out of the “isolated” cage, you mean.

And? My fucking W-LAN Router emits the same waves, phones emit the same waves.
The little bit that gets out is absolutely harmless, would be very different if the full 1200W would get out but they don’t. I would have noticed.
