It’s amazing how many people blindly put their faith in their tech stuff to never malfunction. It’s getting harder and harder to find single purpose things that isn’t stuffed with shitty smart features. Mf just let me buy a car that does not get bricked by a software update.
The text is wrong this technology usually fails downwards to the opaque/blurred mode.
The article isnt accurate unless this is a rather unique privacy glass, they are opaque and require the driver to go on to go clear. So in a power outage these fail to opaque. They also are opaque when they fully fail.
hope nobody ever gets literally exposed by a false positive. would be very annoying to be sitting there taking a shit when suddenly you’re visible to everyone because some dust made a sensor freak out.
It’s pretty hard to get a false positive on a pm2.5 sensor if that’s what they are using, though spraying deodorant would do it
New prank just dropped
so you’re saying it has bonus functionality?
suddenly we’re all pooping with friends.
Me:
Hold your urge to smoke if you do not want to become famous online.”
So, they also pointed cameras at the occasionally transparent toilet stalls?
If you’re pooping with friends, what’s there to be ashamed of?
So what stops people from walking into the bathroom, lighting up, and laughing at the honest poopers now perfectly visable?
I feel like they might be overestimating the amount of fucks a person that smokes in a public bathroom gives.
Not with that social point system, they ain’t.
Do you even understand what the Chinese social credit system is?
If you smoke enough you won’t be able to see inside again.
If so many people need a place to smoke, why not create a designated smoking area?
In Japan (Tokyo at least, idk about elsewhere)smoking is banned everywhere. Except designated smoking rooms. It’s… different.
I don’t think they’ve banned it in all the bars yet
Yes, now that you mention it I do recall smoking bars in Tokyo.
my poops can be, uh, powerful. i’m concerned they could be mistaken for smoke.
… I feel like for a very specific group this is probably like getting an extra scoop of icecream when they only paid for one.
Why just men? Is it a mainly guy thing in china?
Yep, few women smoke and around half of all men do
So, loud as fuck smoke detectors don’t get the job done?
it is nice to not cause a stampede because people think a fire broke out
How is this man going to smoke while wearing a medical mask?
How is this even remotely onion-like?
The glass defaults to transparent.
Being a bathroom it should be the other way round, in case of power loss it should stay opaque.
It’s oniony because no sane reasonable person would design it this way, unless they were intentionally being a terminal asshole. It looks like absurd humour.
I get that and appreciate the explanation.
But at least to me this doesn’t read as satirical in the least. Which has been a trend for awhile. Nottheonion has become politics2 because people are just posting anything. The comments reflect the same. I haven’t seen anyone say “Oop, you got me” in months.
I think it’s more the other way round. Politics has become the Onion, and even gone well past it, while the Onion has stayed in the same place and accidentally become a serious news source.
Totalitarianism is a harsh mistress.
