Sometimes we really oughta ask ourselves if we should do something just because we can.

  See - I actually think this is a pretty interesting idea. Stool/Urine are fairly solid indicators of personal health in a lot of ways. But I think this is a product that probably shouldn't be allowed to exist as a standard SaaS/IoT product. If this was a box I could hook up on my toilet that showed useful info on a screen locally - with zero network access... I'd consider buying. --- People are really glib about the loss of control relying on someone else's computer brings. between service enshittification, company death (out of business), privacy concerns, and ownership contention (do I own a device if a company keeps keys to the locks inside it and won't give them to me? I'd argue a solid and resounding "NO")... I don't want anything to do with most modern networked devices in the form of IoT.

    I'd say this was pretty literally enshittification...

    Oh I certainly believe there is merit to the idea. But the execution is… a bit concerning

    Sure. Load the data locally onto an SD card that I can use to share the data with my doctor. Sending the data off to some remote third party via a questionable internet connection is a no-go for me.
