You have already flushed 3 times today. Wait 22 hours, or upgrade to FlushApp premium to enjoy unlimited flushing experience.
Upgrade to premium+ for AI features
“I have analyzed your fecal output and determined that you consumed an excessive amount of beer and hot wings within the last 36 hours.”
Smash cut to every device in the house showing beer and wing ads for 2 weeks
And you need to buy a subscription or watch an ad before you can flush.
Only for a year or so. Then you’ll need premium+ to skip ads. The free tier is also downgraded to 1 flush per day.
It doesn’t count as satire if it’s literally the situation word for word, you have to exaggerate it at least a little. smh
“there’s an APP for THAT!”
(wow is that dystopian.)
Subscribe and we reserve the right to throttle flush speed/volume after 6pm.
Standard app doesn’t cover diarrhea or menstruation - those are luxury secretions for our plus members
you jest but I recently bought a stove that breaks some UX functions unless you use their fucking app.
I refuse to. fuck em. it does 100% of what I need but that extra 15% would have made it the best ever.
now it gets 2 stars and a bad review for paywalled features.
How sophisticated can a stove be it needs an app?
Also, how did you not catch that before buying?
I wouldn’t even have thought to look. So unless it was prominent in the description, I wouldn’t notice.
slap some AI on that mf
I just thought of a brand new completely different and revolutionary product. A toilet that flushes automatically when you get off the toilet using my patented technology Aii, Artificial Intelligence Infared. I’ll call it the iToilet AI^2. I’m going to be rich.
An app full of spyware and you still need to allow it to access your gallery, precise location, contacts, microphone,camera
As long as it has a built in camera and automatically shares to Facebook, I have no problem with this.
3d scanner that generates a 3d printing file that automatically creates one in your friends’ inboxes. It’s just plastic for now but they’re working on adding new materials and artificial scents to really capture the whole experience.
Once that frustrates me greatly is eight sleep. My wife had been trying various products and unfortunately eight sleep was the best executed one. But they are openly hostile to local controls.
From the time they have released people have been complaining over and over about zero local controls, suggesting buttons on the base, a remote, or even local wifi or Bluetooth controls and their people keep coming online and patronizing by claiming their engineers are working on it, but it’s hard. Truth is they are passing a fucking subscription plan to use your damn bed.
Finally they came out with their local control “solution”. No, buttons should not be on the base, that would be inconvenient. No, a remote control would be too easy to lose. So they implemented super dodgy earbud type controls, two taps for a tick colder, three taps for a tick warmer. Ok, janky as hell, but finally, local controls. So you get things going and do the tap and long buzz meaning “reject” the request. Turns out the taps will only process if the cloud server says it’s ok, and the bed will usually be “off” and not receptive to taps unless you turn it on via Internet app or you have an Internet arranged schedule that has it on at the time you want to adjust it.
It’s a shame since they otherwise had fantastic execution, but their monetization through an app strategy is maddening. So my home has one cloud based device and it pisses me off.
Now I want to take an eight sleep apart and see if I can lobotomize it…
What a world when you have to mod chip your bed.
my opinion, I would have returned it for that reason. Having a bed that doesn’t work if I lose power or have an internet outage is a hard no for me. Especially concidering the price range a lot of those start at 2k+ USD. The lack of an ability to use it without an app is a deal breaker, the lack of an ability to use it locally is almost as bad
edit: holy cow the more I read the site the more red flags I see, $2,500 minimum for a bed that doesn’t even have a warranty unless you have an active subscription that hasn’t expired since you bought the bed, the extended warranty is a 5-year warranty that is of course an additional amount of money with the same conditions. I’ve never seen a bed that didn’t have an at least 10 year warranty on it out of the box, most offer a 15 to 20 year warranty.
Toilets are one of the easiest things to install. Why would you hire a plumber for that?
You should try your own electrical wiring too.
There’s a huge difference between wiring a house and plopping a new toilet over the existing hole in your floor.
Your comment makes me think you’ve never installed a toilet before. They’re incredibly simple.
You can always install a normal toilet it’s not that hard
Yeah, you just need to buy a non internet connected toilet from alibaba because all the reputable places only sell digital ones, model an Adapter of this propiatory connector that you cant find on the Internet because all tutorials get DMCAd and sued into oblivion, and then you have to somehow install it yourself.
Don’t they sell toilets were you live?
If you dont understand, my comment is an analogy for much of the tech scene. My examples were from smart tvs, board level MacBook repairs, and other stuff,and it should Highlight 1. how unreasonable these practices are in tech appliances and 2. How just about every appliance is moving in that exact way.
