If one day there is only smart toilets, I will go shit in the woods and start to live like an animal. Clearly humanity was a mistake and we should return to monke

The problem isn't necessarily smart toilets. The problem is companies attempting to have complete control over the product and ensuring that their products do not function without dependency on their infrastructure.

There is no functional reason to have a toilet connect to an outside server. There are no functional reasons to have many of these smart devices require outside dependencies. But their profits and their subscription models definitely benefit from being able to remotely disable features.

Technology is garbage not because we've gone too far with Technology. Technology is garbage because of capitalism.

So that all the toilets you poop in can share data on your poops and get a complete picture of your bowel health.

Correlates poops to your Uber eats from chipotle, serves you up Pepto ads preemptively.
