Programmer Humor

I'm just boggled by the fact that "a toilet you flush with your phone" ever gof off the stoner couch. who the fuck wants to pull out a phone and press a button every time they take a piss.

Sensors if you move, yeah they're a thing that's given us all a surprise shifting our weight but a fucking app???

Yeah first thing I did was search the web for more information. Zero results...

I bet most of these other commenters also complain about boomers eating up fake news.

Adams's law.

I mean... Electronics and the Internet are also following the laws of physics. But I get what you mean, levers should be the only activation, and gravity should be the only requirement.

That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

It sucks that a 1950's fridge can still function just fine today, but it also is a bigger strain on the power grid, and a leak in the refrigerant would destroy the ozone.

You're already @ the mf toilet too, or the sink. what is even the purported purpose of remotely activating something you have to stand there to use?

Wait, so you're not subscribed to shitme™? For a low monthly subscription they send you a sealed, self-addressed and postage-paid container to deposit your feces in, it gets sent to a sorting facility and distributed via drones or delivery drivers directly to your home toilet, where the feces are flushed in the privacy and safety of your own home! The peace-of-mind alone is worth the $39.98 a month. Up until now, the only challenge has been flushing the toilet while you're still at the office, this way you NEVER have to go home!

you're shitting remotely now too?

Do we tell them about the remote shit technology that just landed from Uranus?

If anomalies are detected, it tells your insurance company so they can increase your rates or drop you before you actually need to go to the hospital and cost them any money.

Time for her to learn lockpicking I'd say.

"Hello amazon I'm a police, I need you to unlock this door at 123 Rainy St, Arlen TX 76043"

"Ok Mr. Police right away!"

Sounds great!

I have a smart deadbolt that is keypad operated. It’s awful.

Never used the smart features, and there isn’t a bypass to unlock the door when the batteries die — which happens a lot, especially in the winter. I tried using rechargeable batteries in it, but they last less than half the time of normal batteries.

There is nothing more frustrating than punching in the key code and hearing the death of HAL9000 voice before the deadbolt fully unlocks. Luckily I have a back door that isn’t smart.

I’m replacing the lockset soon and this won’t be a problem anymore, but holy shit is it frustrating and wasteful.

I got a Proteus IV system. Now I’m dead and my wife is knocked up.

I'm kind of far away fyom being a luddite, senior software developer, codes for fun, builds electronic stuff with wifi etc.

My toilet was built and installed before internet was invented and will not be changed for anything smart, neither is my toaster, dish washer, stove, locks, etc. etc. Ever. Over my dead body (if you want to be disinherited).

Well put.

'Smart' means it can send your lifestyle data to the company, and make you dependent on their services.

You want to change your toilet provider? Best of luck holding your poo in for three days while the transfer is processed.
