Cyber Security news and links to cyber security stories that could make you go hmmm. The content is exactly as it is consumed through RSS feeds and wont be edited (except for the occasional encoding errors).

What we're looking for is "zero-knowledge storage". If it's anything else we can just ignore the whole "encryption" marketing. That's because claiming "end-to-end encryption" is still semantically valid if it's transit only and they are the other end.
Doesn't end to end also mean at rest?
But at rest still doesn't matter as they'll own the key unless it's zero knowledge like you said.
it does not. end to end encryption and point to point encryption are two ways of delivering an encrypted message to a destination. a point to point encrypted message has a message and header that are decrypted by every node in the network to determine where to route it next. an end to end encrypted message has its header and body encrypted separately such that only the sender and recipient see the body, but the nodes can read the header for routing. encrytion at rest just means that the message, once saved to disk, is encrypted
toilet. camera.
ummm… no thanks
If it was all local it could really improve societies health. I'd kinda rather something like that be 100% local though, no internet access.
Don't forget there's a monthly sub too! You can pay every month to have an AI train on your shit.
It already does, just that it's shit I say
To be fair, that still may be end to end encrypted, just not the ends you were hoping for.

Enshittification
Something that starts as shit is distinctly not enshittified. It's just shit. Don't muddy the term.

I don’t know what is more stupid, that this exists or that it’s $600 plus $7/month.
Yes.
What could they possibly tell me about my health by visually inspecting my shit? I see the website mentions detecting blood, but pretty sure I can do that too...
The colour can say a lot of different things than just showing blood in your stool.
Also, if you have red blood in your toilet after shitting, it's probably a popped hemorrhoid, but if your shit is black and tarry, that's digested blood, could be from an upper GI-bleed.
If your shit is orange/yellowish and floaty, youre clearly not absorbing fat correctly for some reason.
There's all sorts of things you can tell from shit. I've actually logged hundreds of photos of shit to an e-mail address (because I want to store them but not in my phone's gallery).
I'm waiting on going to a good gastroenterologist hopefully.
But idk if I'd trust an ai analysing them, but proper doctors should be able to.

The size, shape, consistency, color are all telling of something going on.
Tie that in with tracking changes in diet and can learn a lot.
Tracking what you eat in detail is still a bitch though.

For this too, the camera is kinda helpful. Just snap a photo and the write it down later. Or don't write it down and just have the photos there and "I'm sure I'll remember when I look at it"
Would you consider spending $600 plus $7/month for this? (Assuming it was actually secure not like this one)
You asked about what they could possibly tell about your health from your excrement, not what my monthly budget is...
it can read your future… it’s kinda like tea leaves, but shittier
I read pool leaves. I stand on your roof and tell you your future.

I like how they refer to BO as a administration tool when really it was an exploit tool that had the side effect of some nifty administration ability,
It was significantly more reliable than sub7, which usually was itself infected.
Shut up and take my upvote..
TFW you spend $600 a month on a subscription iot toilet camera just to find out it's been taking pictures from inside your toilet and sending them over the internet!
Why do people want a toilet cam in the first place?
Urine and stool samples can indicate a person’s health and evaluate some conditions, such as over/underhydration or a lack of fiber. If there’s blood in the urine, a picture could allow a doctor to evaluate whether it’s a UTI or a kidney stone.
I’d even say it’s a scenario where machine learning could be used to train a computer to recognize many of those scenarios and offer suggestions to improve one’s health.
Is that worth $600 and a subscription fee when you could learn to recognize those things yourself and take a picture for your doctor if it’s needed? Maybe if you’ve got money to burn.
It you have that much blood in urine or feces, you are in bad shape.
I just post my turds on insta for free assessment by close friends.
Cancer and stuff
Like....butt stuff?
Sometimes I do, but nothing crazy, just a pinky or whatever.
https is end to end
surely, once I read this article, I'll find they implemented ssl
edit:
as I suspected, Kohler is one of the ends of the e2ee. and it is implemented. what is the news here exactly
Https is the transit. End to end encrypted means it's encrypted before, during, and after transit. Ie the data at rest would/should be encrypted
That's not what end to end encryption means. All encrypted transmissions are not end to end encrypted.
WTF?
Wait... this is a thing? I never thought someone would actually make this when it's been the butt of many gags in the media.
When the Man-in-the-middle hacks into it, he may not like what he sees.
