      Don’t worry. I’m on a streak. If I keep it going for 30 days I will unlock the flushing feature without having to pay for premium.

    Android has this feature of “Work Profile” that allows you to put these shitty apps in a separate profile so they can’t accept any of your data. I mean it’d be better if we don’t have distopian apps to begin with, but here we are…

    (I used an app called “Shelter” that sets up a “work profile” and put apps in there and the apps can’t access my photos contacts, or anything basically)

    Funnily enough, my toilet has it’s own app.(“Japanese style” shower toilet by a German company)

    It’s non-cloud, Bluetooth only, all functions work without it,but it tells you when preventative maintenance is due and enables you to configure the user profiles easier.

    So there’s that.

    Wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.

    Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.

        Yep. Until you can’t find non-garbage products anymore because 95% of everyone else is dumb enough to fall for it.

        I think there’s a reasonable case to be made against buyer beware here, we need to ban this shit.
