FlushMe app - Bizarro

Full-dive VR is the only difference between this reality & a cyberpunk dystopia.

How sophisticated can a stove be it needs an app?

Also, how did you not catch that before buying?

You gotta give it biometrics. For your fingerprint, WHAT IF SOMBODY BROKE INTO YOUR HOUSE AND SHAT ON YOUR TOILET!!!
see there keeping you safe from those shitty bastards!!
So just uhh give us all permissions

No the Flushmate Throne Pro would definitely not have an S bend, it would have a proprietary in-house designed mascerator pump.

And you fecal data is shared with health insurance companies, so you can get targeted ~~price hikes~~ recommendations

I wish I was kidding when I say there exist asshole recognition tech already. They'll just attach that to your advertiser ID so their worldwide network of 'smart toilets' can deliver targeted ads to every stall and urinal you visit.

I wouldn't even have thought to look. So unless it was prominent in the description, I wouldn't notice.

Is it one of those that plays music through bone conductivity? Cause that'd honestly be a pretty hilarious prank.

So, if I let a guest shat on my toilet, I have to join and gave my fingerprint permission to flush their shit? Nice.

My last ISP demanded I use an Eero router that had no web interface, it was only accesible via an app.

I found a "smart" Wi-Fi bulb in the trash and used a throwaway phone to pair it through its app. It was adjustable white and RGB, so I put it in the bathroom and thought I'd trigger it to be dim red (cicardian rhythm, you know) whenever it was night (using a built-in RTC, NTP or light sensor, whatever it was capable of). Well, nope! It only connects to Wi-Fi when powered on (understandable) and only takes orders from an external server god-knows-where, with limited local functionality (party-light cycling, WB matching, optionally remembering the last setting). It does not notify the server when its power turns on (only when switched via app or smart button) so it cannot be configured as a "smart event". The closest I could do would be to create a time event every minute:

22:00 turn on 25% red
22:01 turn on 25% red
22:02 turn on 25% red
•••
04:29 turn on 25% red
04:30 turn on 100% warm white
04:31 turn on 100% warm white
•••
21:59 turn on 100% warm white

I'm pretty sure there is a limit to timed actions so I can't just do it this way. I guess I know why it got trashed while still working as intended.

I'll be looking into Home Automation and see if there is a compatible firmware to flash on this piece of shit. Or I'll just use my electrical engineering skills to combine red and orange LEDs into another bulb and give it a separate switch.

And you just know they're sending copies of all your poop data to China, too, for some reason. Probably something to do with "improving targeted advertising," but we know better.

Unfortunately, you always have to look now.

And give it a few years and you'll always have to look for "AI" too. We really are approaching Red Dwarf Talky Toaster territory.

I think it would be even funnier if it just buzzed in time to the song, so it would take whoever was being pranked time to figure out what the hell was going on.

I'm having to replace my bathroom speaker controller because something about my new Pixel phone doesn't like them. The app won't run under modern android, and doesn't even connect via Bluetooth.

Ok, sure, why not, but wait, hear me out:
A.I.-powered toilet, on the blockchain, and call it Shitcoin!

Ours is only accessible via the ISPs app, and is only manageable online.

Maybe that’s why it was in the trash..

Yup, that's what it's called
