All of my passwords and passkeys are in Bitwarden. My brother has emergency access, and I’ve documented in Bitwarden Secure Notes my device credentials, recovery codes, estate information, and instructions for accessing my accounts.

One unresolved issue:

I have private photos of current romantic partners in my iOS Photos hidden album. I want my next of kin to be able to access the rest of my digital life, but I also want to protect those people’s privacy.

As far as I know, Apple doesn’t provide a way to grant next-of-kin access to an account while excluding hidden photos.

My current solution is a note asking my brother to delete the hidden photos before looking through the rest of my account. I trust him to do that, but I’d prefer a technical solution.

Is there a better approach?

I’ve set up emergency access to my password manager and documented my device credentials, account recovery information, and estate-related information.

I’m curious what others have done.

Have you made plans for account access, passwords, 2FA devices, photos, cloud storage, domains, financial assets, online businesses, AI chat histories, and other digital assets?

I feel like I’ve covered the basics, but I’m not confident I’ve thought through all potential edge cases.

I think it’s more accurate to say that it’s difficult to get them covered by insurance unless your obesity-related health problems are really severe. In my experience, doctors have no problem prescribing GLP-1 drugs for weight management.

Maybe I’m naive, but what is the threat here?

I feel like the appropriate reaction would be to congratulate China.

Many people on dating apps are not looking for exclusive or long-term relationships.

I grew up with the children of a multi-billionaire. His kids went to the same daycare as I did, and it wasn’t particularly fancy.

Some ultra-wealthy people live fairly normal-looking lives.

Minor nitpick, but there are temperate rain forests in the continental United States. What we don’t have are tropical rain forests.

I was very pleasantly surprised.

Okay, I’ll ask. Details?

How sad. Admitting and correcting a mistake may feel difficult, but it makes you credible.

As a reader, I would have much greater trust in a journal that solicited criticism and readily published corrections and retractions when warranted.

In Hollywood, that line gets crossed at a surprisingly low level. I am friends with Josh Sussman, who played Jacob Ben Israel on Glee. I occasionally visit him in LA, and we can’t go anywhere in public without getting constantly stopped by people wanting photos. It’s exhausting.

Is that a problem? Why would navy ships need a different hull construction?

So annoying.

As state-of-charge decreases, so does the overall battery pack voltage. Since the motors can only pull some peak number of amps, doing so at lower pack voltage will always deliver less total power.

I own a Model S Plaid and I used to pay close attention to the OBD-II data, out of curiosity.
