Making "smart" devices that can't do routine mundane things without an active internet connection is completely fucking stupid.

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???

There could be a use case in public restrooms or retirement homes, but a usage sensor and timer would do the job better.

I 100% would not pair my phone to a public toilet just to flush it

I would 100% pair my phone, so that I could flush it while others were using it.
