Make it 60-72 hours and your death will still be fresh enough for it to be relevant, but plenty of time to figure out how to work around whatever calamity might prevent still-alive you from stopping it. It’s even enough time that if your death makes the news it’ll have been seen by most relevant journalists and newsrooms already so they’ll have more context for the strange email they find
I recently ran Windows 2000 in a VM to pull some files from some install discs (grabbing Microsoft Train Simulator content from disc images off of archive.org to play in OpenRails in case anyone reading this is the same kind of crazy I am) and it was kinda striking how usable it was even in a modern context. Sure certain shortcuts and niceties hadn’t been thought of yet but it’s surprisingly modern for a 25 year old desktop operating system
I went to Disneyland for the first time as an adult a couple of years ago. The first day we did not purchase the Geniepass, and observed that unlike the old (free) Fastpass, they would not simply give each line equal priority but instead would let scores of (paid) Geniepass holders through before one regular ticket holder would be let on, regardless of line length. So basically they’ve raised the price of entry further except as more of a hidden fee so some people simply get a much less fun experience than others
I worked in support for a phone manufacturer that has made some foldable. From what I’ve seen they seem to be noticably more fragile than the chocolate bar form factor. Seems the screen technology needs more time to mature
Real talk, this screenshot is probably for an application intended for hiding communications with another partner from your spouse. When I worked in support for a phone manufacturer I encountered it once while educating a customer about excessive app permissions. I pointed out “for example this calculator app has permission to make and receive calls. A calculator app should never have permissions like that” and he sheepishly explained what the app was and that in this case it actually should. Points for honesty I guess?
My daughter recently asked me “ladybugs are good? Because they eat orphans?” And after a moment of stifled laughter and thought I said “aphids. They eat aphids and yes that makes them good because aphids will eat your plants”
On that subject makes me wonder if insurance.aes has been cracked yet
