A bit of a scary story:

Being hooked up to the net 24/7 is not the 'good thing' the net providers and wireless corporations would have you believe. Anything actively hooked up to the net is vulnerable and you never know who or what kind of creeps are out there trawling for victims. An abundance of caution is necessary to guard against the predators; adopt the attitude that, when you are on the net, you are a potentially "glass house" and just about anyone can see, hear, or access you at any time...

If that were my child I'd be extremely annoyed.

It doesn't surprise me. The last Networking Newsletter I received contained an article about the hacking of "Smart Toilets". Anyone who owns anything "Smart" will be prone to hacking.

That is absolutely creepy. Boggles the mind as to why someone would do this.

:har:

Now you could have some fun hacking one of those Japanese Smart toilets.

Anyway beauty of the "cloud".

I used to install security systems, and I always tell the customer to change the password when I'm gone.

When I come back to check up a week later, they never do.

In fact, I can use some keywords to find the login pages of a few models of DVR on google, and because nobody ever changes the default login, I can always just login to view their cameras.

PS: same thing with the toilet really, it allows you to control it with your phone so you don't have to touch the remote control. But to make it easy for people to control, the toilet's Bluetooth password is 0000. Of course, some hacker will stand outside the washroom door, login to the toilet, and tell it to keep spraying at you buttocks.

The hackers would have a ball with this toilet until they get transfigured into a Ferret.:hmmm:

Now that is funny. :rotfl2:

Man you could really have some fun with that though.You listen for someone clearly having some diarrhea and then you have the toilet spray them as they open fire themselves.Or wait until you hear them grab the toilet paper try and time so it sprays as they wipe.

[mookiemookie]

:rotfl2: I don't think I'll ever outgrow potty humor.

[Stealhead]

I know I never will.I recall once back in high school my older brother was interested in this sort of holly roller girl.

Anyway she came over one night for dinner and myself my two brothers my sister and this girl where all sitting at this table on a porch that had been converted into a sun room.

Well this sun room the floors had excellent acoustics so farts carried well and often sort reverberated from the chairs down into the wood floor like a giant kazoo.So of course we started farting :har:. After one or two this girl says "I do not understand why god created such a disgusting thing for people to do" and I said "Well I am glad that god created something so entertaining" and let off a really long loud reedy one and said "Praise the lord" and my little sister said "amen brother".

[Wolferz]

Farts were made to smell solely for the benefit of those who didn't hear it.
No discrimination toward the deaf and hard of hearing.:up:

[Stealhead]

Well the ones at my parents house in the sun room a deaf person would have felt those.

If it can't be picked up on the Richter Scale, you're just not trying...

A really clever one that a friend of mine tried years ago was " fart hot boxing" a jar of potpourri then sealing the lid shut he then walked in and handed the jar to his mother and asked her what she thought the potpourri smelled like.

Apparently it smelled like hardcover books because that is what she threw at us.

Nothing to add, sorry.

This post brought me great joy.:salute:
