China is testing restroom machines that make you watch ads in exchange for toilet paper

View attachment 650177

WTF?! Public restrooms in parts of China are testing new dispensers that release toilet paper only after users scan a QR code and watch an online advertisement, a system that has drawn widespread public criticism. Local governments have not disclosed how many units are in operation or whether data collected will be anonymized or monitored.

The mounted paper dispensers are equipped with optical scanners that display a QR code. Users must use their smartphones to connect to the dispenser, triggering an app-based video advertisement that runs for a few seconds.

When the ad concludes, the machine releases a controlled length of paper. Those unwilling to engage with the promotional content can bypass the process by paying 0.5 renminbi – about seven US cents.

It just gets better!!! 🤣
 
This is just beyond comprehension.

The Wings said the moving company has still not informed them of the crash more than a week later and instead is demanding final payment to schedule a delivery date.
“They’re still playing it like we would still receive our household goods here anytime soon,” said Alejandra.

Police are searching for a man who took $7,400 in cash he found lying on a road. The suspect was seen pocketing the money from a street in Kennebunk, Maine, on October 15. The rightful owner had left the cash on top of his car after a vehicle sale and drove off without noticing it was still on the roof. When he returned home and realized his mistake, his father went out looking for it.

A dashcam captured the owner's father as he came across the suspect scooping up the cash. The images show the father, dressed in a plaid shirt, bending down to look at something on the floor alongside the alleged thief. Police said the suspect then fled westbound on Fletcher Street in a dark gray Honda CR-V.

A spokesman for the department told Maine's Total Coverage that the alleged thief faces criminal charges as this was not a case of 'finders keepers,' due to the amount of money involved.

In Maine, the law states that anyone who finds lost money or goods worth at least $3 must give notice to the town's clerk within seven days, tell them where the money or goods were found and post a notification in a public place. If the goods are worth $10 or more, the finder must also publish a notification in a newspaper. In this instance the theft would be considered a Class C crime, meaning it is punishable by up to five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

The Kennebunk Police Department said the man who took the cash could face a charge of theft of mislaid or lost property if he does not return it.

The joys of "Smart" products with a subscription.

Most web articles about it are sanitized. Go look on 4Chan for the gritty details.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on Monday smacked down some Sleep Number beds.

These beds send 16-20GB of data to the cloud each month.

When some of them couldn't contact the cloud Monday, they rose to a near vertical position because they didn't know if you had paid your subscription, which is $15 to $24 a month. For a mattress. 🤪

Many of them turned on the heater function and couldn't be turned off.

Smart products making our life better every day.

Just wait until someone gets in a car accident because their brake subscription ran out that morning.

There's zero reason to have your bed connected to their system, unless they pay you like they did us.

They stopped paying so we no longer connect it to the internet and it works just fine.

China needs to keep a database on the scrumping behavior of amorous Americans.

That way they can better time the influx of hot Chinese spy chicks to lure you when you're most vulnerable.

Conveniently they are designed and manufactured in the USA, headquartered in Minneapolis.
