KingKohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as “End-to-End Encrypted”

artyomI mean, there is a legitimate benefit here. The camera can analyze your feces for health issues. And most people aren’t smart enough to set up their own server so they host one for you. And the AI analysis would cost a lot more to be processed locally.
And personally, I would not be terribly concerned about photos of my poo going into a database.
Not saying you should buy one of these but it definitely can provide value, especially if you have intestinal issues.
My field is bioinformatics. I’m willing to bet $500 there’s little to no valuable data being gathered at all, and quite a lot of noise, rather than anything relevant for your health. I’m sure, just like your smart watch, they can make it sound like some deep insights and health exploration, but I guarantee you it’s not.
You’re telling me there’s zero valuable information in photos of feces? What about this?

Nope. I’m saying a private company and whatever training set they have, plus a cheap RGB camera and an AI model, is not going to give you any information that you can’t derive by simply looking at the feces yourself, much like the table you just linked. Though that table itself is an oversimplification that, being unable to take other parameters into account, also contains potentially misleading conclusions.

Yes and you don’t have to hire a plumber to fix your sink if you’re a plumber.
The point is:
1. Professional analysis
2. (more importantly) Automated logging (no pun intended), potentially for human medical review periodically, or at a later date.

You are severely misunderstanding the point being made. Imagine you have a leaky pipe, you hire a professional plumber, they charge you $500 and say “yep, I can take a look and I conclude it’s a leaky pipe!”
What I’m precisely telling you is that this company can’t provide the professional analysis you just commented.
Because it’s an incredibly unreliable data point by itself, and requires significantly more than visual analysis to prevent several co-variables.
You’re really willing to die on the hill of poop camera subscriptions, I’m not willing to waste time diving further into the subject. You’re ignorant of the topic, which is fine, but I won’t be the one explaining further.
I’m not dying on anything, I’m just having a discussion. It’s what I come here to do. If you don’t want to discuss it, that’s fine, but the name calling is unnecessary.
Jack Riddle[Any/All]you’re not having a discussion, you’re sealioning. You’re not providing any arguments or evidence in favour of your point, just requesting endless amounts of information from your interlocutor.
I haven’t provided any arguments because this isn’t an argument, it’s a discussion. I haven’t made an affirmative position either way, at any time. I’m just asking questions and learning. Sorry if that offends you.
Except you made the argument about professional analysis of your poop…
