There's a smart toilet on 510 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: a trail. I'm intrigued. 511 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: You know it's not America. You can guess that right. Always. 512 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes smart technology intended to make life more convenient can 513 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: turn into more of a nightmare scenario. That was one 514 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: trail runner's experience in Hong Kong recently, when he found 515 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: himself trapped inside a public toilet for ten minutes according 516 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: to the standard. The automated smart toilet system was just 517 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: installed a month ago, and the man had to be 518 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: rescued by someone who opened the door from the outside. 519 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: Local politician Michael Tien Poukson told newspaper told the newspaper 520 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: that he found the incident concerning what a what a neutral. 521 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: State concerned concerning concerning huh? 522 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: Tien had heard the restroom had no emergency contact information 523 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: posted inside of it and no other way to seek insistence, 524 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: excuse me assistance. The runner used the most traditional method, 525 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: knocking on the door and shouting, why this guy have 526 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: a cell phone? 527 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: I was so, come on, where's your phone? 528 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? He's just running free and shouting to solve this 529 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: intelligence problem, he told the newspaper. I have the impression 530 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: that this public toilet may be smart, but the person 531 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: who designed it is not smart at all. 532 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 5: Burn Oh. 533 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Today, in a Legislative Council meeting, Diane Wong Shu Khan, 534 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the Undersecretary for Environment and Ecology, said the smart toilet 535 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: had quote initiation problems end quote that have since been solved. 536 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: She also said the restroom has an electronic lock that 537 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: can be opened and closed by waving at the sensor, 538 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: as well as a manual door lock. However, the electronic 539 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: lock cannot be accessed if the manual lock is in use. 540 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: So there's I mean, that's stupid, that's not smart. If 541 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: you lock it by hand and not by sensor, and 542 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: then you use the sensor, you have to unlock it 543 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: by hand. 544 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: Makes sense. 545 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 4: That makes sense to me, It makes sense. What does 546 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: that mean at that point? Yeah, been that he locked 547 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 4: himself in and then. 548 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: That is what this means. Yes, and that's signage. 549 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 6: Like ten minutes is not a long time. Frankly, ten 550 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 6: minutes time, that's not of standard toilet time. Really, So 551 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 6: what are you complaining about here? 552 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: Guy? 553 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: It's washed a couple of times. 554 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 4: I can see why it's a story, but it doesn't 555 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 4: sound like he got washed a couple times. 556 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: Sounds kind of nice, right, just ten minutes to yourself 557 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: in Hong Kong. Yeah, a very populous city. 558 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, well ten minute oasis there. 559 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, a little staycation with a seat. According to Wong, 560 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: the toilet also has an emergency door switch, and after 561 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: an inspection spurred by the incident, personnel confirmed that there 562 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: was no issue with it. 563 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 6: Again, I'm this seems this is maybe just this guy's problem. 564 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 6: This seems like a skill issue. I yeah, maybe I'm 565 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 6: built different, but I'm not getting locked in this toilet personally. 566 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: I famous. 567 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 4: How does he get a story about this?

I'm annoyed by 734 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 4: this quirkiness. Yeah, but Kristin Wig just makes you like 735 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 4: it because she's so good. She sells not playing a 736 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 4: Kristen Wig character either, which is exciting. 737 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 6: It feels really different for her, and I'm like, just 738 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 6: really different for her. 739 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, and something she's doing in her career.
