Anyone who decided to buy a smart toilet with internet access deserves to not have an encrypted connection

    The Dekoda costs $599 plus a mandatory subscription of at least $6.99 per month.

    Imagine paying $600 plus $7 a month for Kohler to look at your shit.

    Storing petabytes of shit photos on coal burning servers cooled by drinking water.

    Considering there has been a massive wave of smart cameras everywhere in and outside homes in the past and especially recently getting "hacked", it's not a stretch that randomly picking cameras to look through could yield a droopy balls and veiny cock jumpscare

    To this very day, with only the slightest amount of technical knowledge, you can log onto people's existing devices, watch their video feeds, initiate print jobs, etc.

    A 'haha im hax0r' amusement from 20+ years ago is still going strong.

    end-to-end

    From my end to another person's end connected by the plumbing system?

    Seriously tho: I can understand why certain tech things might need a camera; if the toilet is able to accurately bidet the shit off my asshole with laser precision I can understand it might need to see all the dingleberries... But why the fuck does it have to send the camera data anywhere? Keep that shit local, confined to the device itself.

    um, couldn't you just look down at your shit, or take your own picture on your smart phone to compare to other poop images on the web? Like why the fuck would anyone need a toilet camera?

    Might drop phone into the shitty toilet! But if the camera is specifically designed for my toilet, can't drop it in! What an amazing product idea for people like me! Also, I don't tell you your hobbies are dumb. If you're curious, I have a graphed some data showing my normal distribution of bristol scale output for the last few years. Can't tell you how many times I've had to fish the phone out of the toilet to collect that data (don't worry, it's waterproof, so it gets rinsed off during the flush).

    What are the ends in this end-to-end? Someone more clever than me can make this into a joke.

    Wait, this technology wasn’t an onion article or a fever dream? WTF Kohler, how much money did you waste on this tech and supporting infrastructure?!

    I don't like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

    If you wanna log your logs the old fashioned way with just a spreadsheet:

    Date / time

    • Small / medium / large
    • Bristol Scale
    • color
    • could also add odor or discomfort if you're worried about that

    On a second spreadsheet in that workbook, keep a food diary, because that's gonna provide a LOT of context (and you might discover some ways to be nicer to your tummy).

    They invented an internet poop camera and people actually buy it?!

    The person who got this done is persuasive as fuck and should be in sales, not R&D.

    End to end to end. That's 50% more ends so it has to be safer.

    So is it any wonder that people are afraid of technology?

    Why does anyone even need a camera in their toilets?

    From a dog's perspective that lives in an urban area, this makes perfect sense. Humans are fascinated with poop, collected in bags, and stored in the park bins. Why wouldn't they put cameras in their toilets?

    Alright, I'll do it.

    Why are we looking at this from a dogs perspective?

    Because human experience alone is too dull for a being existing in a vast universe with trillions of stars. Slip on the metaphysical shoes of some other creature every now and then and marvel how utterly alien human existence actually is. And we're just one tiny wet rock, spinning around an unremarkable star, in an out of the way spiral arm of an unremarkable galaxy among an endless sea of pinpoints of light.

    I love the phrase "data is encrypted at rest."

    Having worked with a lot of medical data, the rules are simple:

    • Encrypt at rest
    • Rest is when the database is off
    • Never turn off the database

    My toilet picked a fine time to update the flapper valve driver, I've got a surprise swirl with a peak above the water and a blood clot on top that really needs to go before company shows up.
