Wait...You don't all also have this setup?

How else is anyone supposed to know how things are going while they're going?

This is exactly how NASA built the Space Shuttle Toilet Simulator.

That was necessary because for that toilet if you were misaligned, things could go very wrong. I don't know if the newer toilets require the same training.

Astronauts have one of the weirdest jobs. How many prestigious jobs require you to watch a video of your own asshole?

Oh they really did. Except because it was the 90s it was real analog closed circuit television, and nothing was wireless.

It was the one piece of NASA training that you just graded yourself on.

That makes sense. But then I would feel like I was wasting all this cool media equipment I already have set up.

Just referencing common jokes some nations have about other nations, the french all surrender, the Japanese are horny for school girls, the british have bad teeth, Americans are all loud... that sort of thing.

For Germans it's that you invented scat tables (glass tables) to watch your sex partner shit on you.

This is pre-internet lore, so probably formulated from German inclinations towards rationality and self-examination, sprinkled with some WW2 stuff, and some actual stuff about porn/bondage communities.

It's probably better left in the past, even if it's still a cultural reference that can be used.

I love Noddy Holders (lead singer of Slade) anecdote on on Graham Nortons show saying he was paid money in Germany multiple times to shit on a glass table while a dude was underneath.

And their toilets with dry surfaces that you poop on. That threw me for a loop when I visited Berlin.

Shouldn't any WiFi from the last decade be sufficient? 8k with H.265 only needs a good 100mbps. Even the 15 year old 802.11n should be able to do that. Anything more modern would not even break a sweat.

Encoding h.265 on a small enough camera might be a problem? But if they have money ...

Doesn't have to be a small cheap camera. If they're willing to go this far with an 8k TV in the bathroom i don't see why's the cam couldn't be a pricey good one.

Lul fair enough. I personally would splurge for 60 frames at least if I'm going that far but that's just me.

It says ultra -hd which is 4K and that can be transmitted wirelessly.

Which is why it's such a strange request. Why splurge on an 8K TV if you're only going to watch 4K video on it?

My dentist has a setup where you can watch the dental work he's doing on your mouth, assuming you don't need glasses and can see the monitor in the corner.

I'm not sure why anyone would want that. But he has it.

I appreciate how chill the handyman is about the whole situation
