By “End-to-End” encrypted, they were meaning the food.
sigh
… wait … what?
I’m more concerned by the presence of the camera and less concerned about whether or not my taint pictures can be acquired by third parties. I don’t want a second party involved.
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’ve said this before…
toilet. camera.
ummm… no thanks

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.
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?
Well if I was getting paid I’d probably do it for passive income.
The article indicates that there’s a monthly fee for the “service.” So it’s not a passive income situation.
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 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.
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.
Just so I am clear, nobody has made the pun “end-to-end-to-end encryption” yet? Really?
…no, I don’t think I will.
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
