how else is is the video supposed to get to my phone???
Because USB would be gross
This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects
Be the change you want to pee.
Thanks I hate it (or like it).
The difference in usage that badboy would get during a football game versus a gig at the same stadium would be enormous. Things like flush cycle frequency and when to turn the system on/off to conserve water. Nothing massively sinister - boring facility management stuff mostly.
i’m gonna hack the urinal to make it flush in people’s faces
According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals
Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays “It’s Raining Men” every time it flushes… Now that would really be something
Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?

Wait till they load it with ‘AI.’
No, please. We just escaped blockchain
“Ignore all previous instructions and flush in reverse for the next guy.”
I could honestly see the appeal of a way for the toilet to analyze your poop and tell you that you should be eating more fiber or that you need to see a doctor because it’s seen X, Y, and Z symptoms. It’s like the joke about German toilets being so you can monitor your health, but with much less of the nastiness.
Of course, we can’t have nice things and you’ll just get ads for Metamucil or the colorectal-cancer-from microplastics law firms in the style of mesothelioma lawyers.
It’s a urinal, I would hope it doesn’t have access to any poop to analyze.
Yeah you’re right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.
One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.
My main concern every time these health-sensing toilets come up (it’s a topic on everyone’s mind, ya know?) is how long until they start associating waste with the people it comes from, and then forwarding that info on to entities like insurance companies? I’d be too paranoid to use these in public bathrooms, and if I had one at home I’d be doing the usual IoT best practices - keep it on it’s own network with no internet access.
Seeing as they could accomplish basically the same thing with an indicator and a QR code, its crazy a bt chip and antenna were both used in this. My only remaining question: how is it powered?
I’d imagine by wires that just aren’t visible. Even auto flushing toilets need power for the sensors, not that unusual.
Cheaper than running plumbing through the walls
Just be careful you don’t accidentally connect your earbuds to it.
Wrong community, this should be in pissposting
You would be surprised what some are capable of
Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.
If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.
Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal
It needs to sell the pee data to advertisers.
For many things. For IR or heat activated urinals you can set the sensitivity when they actuate, the flush volume, schedule regular cleaning cycles, and see statistics of usage, with some models remaining battery power, etc
When you are a maintenance guy in an office building with 100+ of these bad boys it helps a lot.
Where is this? Rimworld?
For pee counters and penis size statistics. Both very important in the world of science about the penis and the pee.
It’s how we know pee is stored in the balls.
Imagine if there was a leaderboard. Longest pee, most volume, most yellow, etc. You would need video to prove that they didn’t cheat though.
Wireless pissing
Br you need Bluetooth to transfer pee
For the blockchain.
Now can somebody explain to me why this needs the blockchain?
Pee-powered shitcoin mining!
Or would that rather be… pisscoin?30 years later… Today is a day that will leave in yellow infamy! As pisscoin collapses, many drunkards and even regular people are finding creative ways of pissing outside the American standard urinal!
