#2 ....might be a good idea to place an unhackable temp limiter on the bidet, eh....?

#3 LOL, TW! But you are missing the real danger of a vindictive externally controlled toilet run amuck. Some models are available with TV & iPod. Could be a super secret weapon...remember Noriega! I even bet Kimmie Jr has one--very popular in Korea...

"Is she holding the cake?" "Yup." "OK, I'm triggering the bidet spray. Woo, watch this, LOL!"

#5 LOL, TW! But you are missing the real danger

I do my best, Anging Hatfield6648. I am but a simple soul, not nearly twisty enough for the world as it is, so I must rely on the kindness of others. Dr. Steve added that horrid overflowing toilet, Mr. Pruitt the comments in Post-It Note yellow, and you-all the icing on the cake that is this thread.

In brief, teamwork works! :-)

#6 but it's hard to imagine how serious hardened cybercriminals would be interested in this security hole

No, its the jokers who get a kick out of Mr. Bean episodes who would be the concern.

And seeing that my 2 year old can use my phone and an ornery streak in the family, I'll stick with the traditional toilet thankyouverymuch.
