smart toilet cameras .......... $599 device .......... subscription that starts at $7 per month
As if the combination "toilet" and "camera" by itself wasn't bad enough
As the saying goes: a fool and their money are easily parted.
New business model: release stupid cloud connected stuff no one wants and sell to security researchers.
Why would anyone need a toilet camera?
for shitposting
Lol
I asked myself that too ..... It does an analisys of your dump.
In other words they monetize peoples fear for illness.
I just... go to my doctor on a regular basis... If I'm worried I make an appointment. He's a nice man, he explains things and gives me good advice. It's almost like he's had some kind of professional education to help him identify and treat health problems...
And I already pay a ridiculous amount for health insurance, I'm gonna get my fuckin' money's worth outta that before I send pictures of my shit to god knows where. There's no copay to get one of those mail-in poo buckets delivered every few years.
If you can comfortably drop $600 on something as abjectly stupid as a dedicated poop-cam I bet you can get at least comparable coverage to what I have.
I bet the only advice you get if it does flag something as abnormal is to see your doctor anyway. The analysis is probably done by a half baked AI or a squad of former call center workers who say through a one hour training video.
I will never understand this or the internet connected appliances. Our society is so utterly fucked right now.
Imagining it just saying "hey, looked like blood in there", which people can figure out by just looking themselves... If it's more subtle, a camera isn't going to help anyway and you need testing to know.
Imagine your job is watching people assholes as they shit. That got to be fucked. Also the people who came up with this probably got a fetishist or something. All around nuts.
