  • If they did not setup Legacy contacts (people who can access their account after their death), you will need to either gain access by resetting passwords, or via court order.

    The attorney handling the probate might help you, or you can try the legal aids that work with that courthouse.

    And as an aside, don’t forget to setup your own legacy contacts now and possibly get your parents to do it now. Having gone through this a couple times recently, it was very nice to have the legacy contact access. Made everything simple.




  • I think it is way more likely they just bought imagery from existing sources. There are tons of high res imagery out there that you can purchase. Price is usually determined by how old it is. This seems way more likely than an insurance company hiring a drone operator and going door to door. Secondly, companies never share the details of things like this. Wherever the source, they are unlikely to share it. Companies don’t give details because they don’t want to fight you. They just want to cancel your account and move on.

    That isn’t to say this is right.

    Do we want insurance companies peering into our backyards from imagery? I don’t. Regardless of if it’s a drone or not.





  • It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.

    I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.

    I always avoid electron apps so I don’t have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.




  • I didn’t realize how many worker placement games I own until I started going through them. These are the ones I would recommend:

    • Caylus (I consider this a top one, but can be a bit hard to explain to beginners)
    • Stone Age (Classic and easy to teach)
    • Leonardo Da Vinci (I have not seen this one around as much recently but is always loved

    Some have said Agricola, I’m iffy on if this is actual a worker placement, to me it is more turn based, with the “workers” just representing taken spots. But, if we are counting Agricola, then I would of course put in for Agricola, but argue highly for its much better cousin–La Harve.
