    A ‘smart toilet’? What the hell does a toilet need to be smart for? And then, cherry on top, toilet and camera in the same sentence. The world needs to end.

      A trip to japan may reveal that smart may not be a thing but borderline magical just might be.

    The average person is most likely to be familiar with E2EE through messaging apps, like Signal

    An even more average person is most likely to wonder why you’re taking pictures of their poop in the first place.

    I don’t know what’s funnier. A “smart toilet” or the fucking moron that is dumb enough to buy one.

    described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses “optical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithms” to deliver “valuable insights into your health and wellness.”

    Do they take their product ideas from the Onion?
    This can’t be real, can it??

      It’s real. A lot of information can be taken from those bowls, you know, the kind of information big corporations will use to fuck you up when they get the chance.

    Never install a camera in a bathroom

    Like, you don’t install anthrax in a maternity ward

      Well, I can see some use cases. But they’re usually not pointed down in the bowl.
