Get prepared for very concerning shit (no pun intended, or maybe?) in the next few years.Everything that can get "connected" will be. It's almost a guarantee.Oh and, we'll be lucky if those smart toilets do not use log4j.

I do not rant...In fact.. over night I was wondering how far that thing goes..Seriously speaking.. it may look funny...But that is SECURITY (very serious) problem..Who will be held responsible for such data into this cloud shit?think fast and project that health and privacy data scaled to whole societycontrolled by CLOUD interests you know who ...Not funny.One day they may log you into the cloud by ass recognition...Paul

content: Quote from: PKTKS on December 20, 2021, 04:13:23 pmI do not see how it could be called an aberration, especially if you read and understood the article. We currently and regularly use stool and urine samples to detect many conditions; colon cancer, bacterial and viral infections, status of the individual's biome, blood, a variety of illicit drugs and medicines...a whole bunch of stuff.This represents the possibility of doing many such tests simultaneously and, most importantly noninvasively and, potentially, at a much lower cost. I am not saying this particular product has been validated for much of anything and is ready for prime-time, but why look at it like a Luddite or as though it were some new-age nonsense?.

IR capable night/day data collection..over an entire population centralized into a CLOUD shit private data center...Add an AI algo. capable of infer proper trends and decide whateverit fits for the landlords... and BINGO!You have more like a model of population control than health care...Scares the shit out ...Paul
