Do these toilets seriously not function without internet access? I guess I could see the toilet being essentially a sensor array with some networking hardware; the decision-making about your fecal content would then be done in a datacenter.

As long as the stupid thing still flushes without internet access; I have never been more concerned about an IoT version of an existing appliance not doing its job. That is, I could stand an oven or blender not functioning; a toilet simply must work or the bathroom itself becomes nigh useless. "Honey, our toilet won't flush; are we still being DDoSed?"
