    Toilet cameras. Every time I think to myself that humanity’s intellectual capacity has hit a new low, reality proves me wrong.

      I remember when cameras in toilets were a thing that women lived in fear of, especially in public toilets.

      Now its a thing we’re buying from corporations to give them HD live stream of the same thing.

    I mean, it is encrypted between their end and your… uh… end. Just not encrypted at their end.

    I wonder who has to review the logs. That would be a shit job.

      It is encrypted at their end - they say the data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.

      However, it’s not end-to-end encrypted, in the usual meaning of the term. E2EE usually means that only the sender and intended recipients of the data can decrypt the it, not the company running the service, their affiliates, or any intermediaries.

    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.

    ah, “end-to-end encrypted” meaning the transport is encrypted, but data in storage is not. Or it is with a hardcoded key everybody who ever worked in IT there knows. Classic.

    Kudos to whoever approved a freaking camera on a toilet. I would like to know the name of their drug dealer.

      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.

    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.

    Toliet camera…for $600 camerw 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

    By “End-to-End” encrypted, they were meaning the food.

    Just so I am clear, nobody has made the pun “end-to-end-to-end encryption” yet? Really?

    “End-to-end encrypted using the time-tested ROT-13 cypher.”

    Or something even more porous.

    Which means that it’s not end-to-end encrypted. It’s HTTPS encrypted, which is different.

    If it was truly end-to-end encrypted, the only person who could access it would be you, and all they would get would be garbled mess.
