    There is no reason for a camera to ever be in a bathroom for any reason. And no matter what reason they can come up with there will always be a downside that is substantially worse.

      They say the camera points down, but that makes me wonder…what about the reflections?? Oh god, the reflections

    Adult Swim pioneered this over a decade ago with SmartPipe

      And remember, SmartPipe Kohler is definitely not a PDF file!

    $599 intial cost, plus $70 or $130 a year. I’m happy that they are finding really amazing, break through products to offer us. Surely this is the continued excellence we can expect from the ai frenzy. Wow!

        That I could go for. It might actually help people with special needs.

        This is just crap (pun intended)

    maybe, if we turn it upside down, we can use it to unlock paired phones with sphincterprint

    Of fucking course you need to have their app to get any useful data from it. I certainly trust a plumbing manufacturer to have solid cybersecurity, and there certainly won’t be any data breaches of people’s poop data. When do you think we’re gonna get FOSS poop cameras?

        Not especially useful until the advent of RRC (rectal recognition cameras)

    Or, and bear with me on this, we could educate people on basic matters of health. Crazy, I know! But what if?

    Can’t they invent a mouth camera instead, I bet lots of bad health could be prevented with a smart one (smart like plain old smart, not “connected”).
