Linked – LastPass Adds Feature to Unlock Your Vault When You Die

” You define e-mail address(es) for those you trust and a timeout period. Should something happen to you, the person identified can send a request to access your LastPass vault. LastPass then contacts the owner to make sure everything is okay and starts the timer. If the owner of the vault doesn’t respond to LastPass within the timeout period, the requester is given access. It is an optional feature that must be enabled, but it sounds like a good idea to me.”

I like it too. I might just be enabling this pretty soon on my LastPass account.

  • Gmail Users Losing POP and Getting AI Whether We Like It or Not

    Personally, I’ve moved away from using the POP feature in Gmail to import mail from other email accounts into Gmail to take advantage of the spam protection. Since I host my own sites and my own M365 tenant, much of that spam protection lives elsewhere for me, but I can understand why others have continued to use it. 

    But it’s going away. 

    Never fear, though. In 2026, Google wouldn’t dare let you have a product that doesn’t feature AI. So, we’re all getting the AI Inbox, and you will have to opt out if you do not want an AI-generated list of to-dos and summaries instead of just reading your email.

    Linked – Please stop charging your phone in public ports

    Nothing is safe… Truthfully, I’m putting this right up there with ATM skimmers though. I don’t care how many warnings you put out, people are not going to stop plugging in to power in public places. It’s simply not feasible for many people to always avoid it. Much like ATM skimmers haven’t stopped people from…

    Linked: Women in the Workplace

    This is an acute problem for many of us, who want to participate in doing the work of promoting diversity and inclusion but are still getting measured by everything other than that. And, as the survey points out, it is oftentimes women who take on this work, in an effort to help other women and minorities achieve.

    But, as much as the C-Level folks talk about the importance of this work, it is not a part of the job performance, nor is time and effort really allocated for it.

    How many of you volunteer to take on this work, running an employee resource group, putting together presentations, leading group discussions, often at the behest of top management, and then when it comes times for performance reviews, the only thing that matters is time spent on bringing in revenue?

    The message seems to really be, “It’s great that you want to do this work for us, but make sure you do it on your time because your productivity will be measured against the people who don’t spend any time at all doing this work”
