Kohler, the makers of a smart toilet camera, can access customers’ data stored on its servers, and can use customers’ bowl pictures to train AI.
Reading TFA it seems like it is encrypted when it’s sent to their servers, a security researcher just doesn’t like the use of the term “end to end” to describe that.
It would be impossible to analyse the images if it wasn’t decrypted, so it seems a little silly.
I think its more hijacking the terminology rather than anything else
it is encrypted when it’s sent to their servers
So HTTPS.
Yeah, I guess they could use the term point-to-point like point of sales systems define it, but it seems a little semantic. If the images are encrypted on the camera device, and only decrypted once the contents reach the secured analysis environment, then I don’t see how this is misleading customers. Even in the context of messaging apps, users understand that the receiver can decrypt and see the message; it’s saying that no intermediary party can.
But good grief, I can’t fathom putting a camera in my toilet. I feel bad for folks that are either too worried about their health, or have such issues that this is helpful. There but for the grace of fiber go I.
The Dekoda costs $599 plus a mandatory subscription of at least $6.99 per month.
Who even buys this shit?
Assholes

Aim better, please.
(not that) Impatiently waiting for the first connected condoms…
Why would you need an internet access able toilet camera…
Have you tried brain damaging yourself? If that fails, repeat until you something or whatever.
Seems like you’ve tried it already, you weird fuck.
Bowl movement analysis? Your poop says a lot about your internal state of affairs.
