I'm not paying $20,000 for every flush.
I merely posted this as it's "a thing" now. I think we're putting IoT into too much. It's a marketing phase. Apple watches are nice, but I don't own one. Back in 2015 when they introduced the $10,000 to $17,000 18-karat gold Apple Watch (which is now obsolete), it was a fad thing for the rich crowd. Just like when Dan Quayle bought George HW Bush a solid gold toilet paper holder, this is a pretty for the elite.
I don't see too many people buying these, but at $20K a piece, how many do you have to sell?
Reminds me of a Dilbert comic. "Our target demographic are rich idiots"
Ahh, back when we thought Dilbert was antiwork.
If your business is bitching about something that sucks, you might find yourself wanting it to keep sucking. And depending on how much of a piece of shit you are, you might even take steps to ensure it keeps sucking if you can.
