      What do house guests do?

      “Let me know when you’re done and I can flush the toilet though the app.”

      Or

      “Download this app to flush the toilet once at my house.”

        the host just watches them through the built in camera and the house guest thinks it flushes automatically :)

          “Ok, Richard, I’m done.”

          “Yeah, I got the notification actually. Heavy dinner last night?”

          “What the actual fuck, Richard?”

            Yeah. I’m absolutely opposed to unnecessarily “smart” devices.

            I have a strong aversion to voice activated anything. Smartphones have had voice assistant’s since forever but whenever I’ve tried it I just find it to be a clunky awkward imprecise user interface.

            Why do something in a few clicks when 10 minutes of miscommunication will do?

            In-house toilet facilities are more or less a solved problem. These idiots un-solved it.

      This. SO many devices, especially networking stuff. It seems like they should just do their thing after plugging in and setting a few settings. “It’s so EZ!” says the box.

      Nope, “scan this code to get this app, make an account, agree to all the things, register for spam…”

      It’s disgusting.
