Excuse me, a toilet camera‽
What a waste of money.
I just upload videos of me shitting directly to German porn sites, and then read the comments to see if I have anything to worry about.
🤣
I can’t read German tho
I mean, it is encrypted between their end and your… uh… end. Just not encrypted at their end.
I wonder who has to review the logs. That would be a shit job.
Heh logs.
You fixed my crappy morning, much appreciated.
Heh shit.
They train their AI with it. 22998110
End-to-End? More like ass-to-ass
So, many, puns…
What kind of lunatic is gonna buy an online enabled toilet camera to monitor their shits?
Just wait for Law enforcement to get access to it. You know its coming.
“This shit has nuts in it. says the prosecution. Proving that they did not have a nut allergy. The prosecution rests.”
What kind of lunatic is going to covertly monitor someone else’s shits?

They’re literally using people’s shitting and pissing to train AI.
But isn’t AI already shitty enough by itself??
There might be a world, after we’ve pulled the last billionaire’s lungs out, when humans are back in control, that we can do research into defecating video that can identify bowel cancer just by letting a computer watch someone take a dump.
We do not yet live in this world though.

ah, “end-to-end encrypted” meaning the transport is encrypted, but data in storage is not. Or it is with a hardcoded key everybody who ever worked in IT there knows. Classic.
Kudos to whoever approved a freaking camera on a toilet. I would like to know the name of their drug dealer.
Toliet camera…for $600 camera with a monthly subscription… might as well just go to a doctor weekly with stool samples if you care this much about your rectal health. I can’t see this being popular outside of a very niche group of patients that need it
I don’t think anybody needs this. Hypochondriacs are the only market I can see.
I’ve said this before…
toilet. camera.
ummm… no thanks
Walking into a meeting at Kohler and keeping a straight face after saying the words “toilet camera”–and then maintaining that straight face throughout the product’s discussion, greenlighting, development, manufacture, and sale–deserves an Oscar.
You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?
In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside
Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.
I remember when toilet cameras were illegal and only on porn sites.
Guess everything changes when there’s money to be made.
Oh there was money to be made there too. Just by the wrong people.
By “End-to-End” encrypted, they were meaning the food.
sigh
“End-to-end encrypted using the time-tested ROT-13 cypher.”
Or something even more porous.
Oh cool. The CEO is played by Mark Proksch. Didn’t know who he was back when this first aired.
It’s always fun when that happens
