Kohler Launches $600 iPhone-Connected Toilet Camera That Monitors Your Health Through Waste Analysis

[CapitalIdea]

Coming to a Buc-ees near you!

Hard pass...

That'll trigger a notification.

They should gamify it. Just think of the possibilities...

"Explosive diarrhoea for a week" achieved!"

How can this be end to end encrypted if it’s analyzed on their servers? Talk about marketing ********.

Considering everything in the internets these days is transferred via TLS (which is an end-to-end encryption with asymmetric keys) they might be correct.

Means nothing though.

P.S. Good that they are vigilant. Just consider the horrors of someone snooping on your poop data! Or your pooping on their snoop data.

This message was end-to-end encrypted.

I really need this device to diagnose why every time I use the toilet, the bowl is full of blood.

 

[contacos]

How will it know it's YOUR 💩 or do you need to manually activate it every time you want it "anal"ysed.

Imagine explaining to your guests why there's a camera inside of your toilet especially living in Berlin. Sounds like some weird kinky stuff.

Apple with their own version in a few years, “We are introducing, the iSh!t”.

I’d also like to see how Zuckerberg appropriates this idea.

The Upskirt revival

One of the glorious wonders of capitalism is it produces something for everyone.

Yes. And convinces you to part with money on the promise it’ll tell you your **** is better than everyone else’s… or could be.

iPoop was a great miss by the Kohler marketing team.

 

[yuba]

SmartPipe got there first.

Came here to say this

 

[erihp]

This whole thing is a joke… right???

 

[Trusteft]

I am surprised the Japanese don't already have it.

 

[philstubbington]

As long as it integrates with HomeKit so I can use it to trigger starting the coffee maker in the morning.

… or a coffee enema?

 

[Robin Bonathan]

What happens when the shXt hits the fan ? (or camera lens)

 

[mansplains]

Poop for free while you still can

I’m the tyrant who’d charge patrons for the bathroom in rollercoaster tycoon

 

[Londo Mollari 2]

I am surprised the Japanese don't already have it.

Waiting to see what TOTO does with this. $7,000 for a toilet is a bit much but but there’s no subscription, you pays your money and you takes your sh–t.

 

[appleuser21]

I feel so sad for the developers who had to train the AI model with plenty of photos...

 

[svish]

Ridiculous idea. Wonder who will purchase this. On top of this, the subscription is unthinkable.

 

[MysteriousStain]

Can it tell the difference between blood and beetroot?

 

[Parowdy]

That’s possible but just like any other ape species, Homo sapiens sapiens have an impressively long history of making fun of waste.

In other words, we’ve had a very hard time taking sh.. seriously. Lol.

True, as we technically aren’t even sitting right. We’d have to do some sort of squat to do it proper for how our abdominal region is designed.
We’re just very sophisticated apes.

 

[dotzero123]

Hard pass...

It’ll explain why that happens too

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

So they made the smart pipe, basically

 

[The Game 161]

Sounds like crap

 

[MakaniKai]

Ok but imagine being the developers who had to sift through thousands of images of poop in a toilet to train this AI.

And imagine the support staff who will be receiving images of poop with complaints about accuracy.

What a “crappy” job
