I heard a number of stories of people passing away, and their loved ones have to figure out how to navigate their digital “estate”. Things like email credentials, bank accounts, crypto wallets, logins for personal devices, etc. For example, I have a good friend whose husband passed away unexpectedly, and she couldn’t get Apple to unlock his laptop for months, until she provided a death certificate and jumped through additional hoops.
I fell down a rabbit hole of checklists, methods, and technology, and was curious what other people were doing to leave digital assets behind. I’m looking for something that will be privacy-oriented, but still provide access to people who may not be very tech-savvy.
What do other people do? Especially from a technology perspective?
I have a deadman switch that will activate a worm that will simultaneously devour the entire internet and trigger my house to burn down.
it’s all triggered off my pacemaker. once it pops, the fun just stops.
Aside from your house, you’ve given me great incentive to hunt you down and kill you. 🙃
every morning I look in the mirror and ask myself the question.
Fickle fickle, Travis Bickle, how does your computer worm grow?
What happens when you need to replace your pacemaker?
The internet is devoured a la Dune and their house burns down?
