Your second paragraph definitely is a nail on the head moment. It is something I try and look past often but am hyper aware of it when I'm with my parents and they call to "talk". I'll have to ask them about who their trustee is. Thanks!
This is definitely something I could see myself being concerned about happening. Any advice RE: lawyers/how to handle the siblings trying to bypass the will? I've been told a living trust is something to consider. Thoughts?
Though Anker is a chinese company. Definitely review the privacy policy and such.
Arlo has a solid stance on privacy but is definitely cloud based unless you get one of the older ones with a base station. Their products are also made in china though.
You could also do the whole Raspberry Pi Cam thing.
Interesting to consider that bit about the USDA and home pasteurizing eggs. I do a lot of ice cream/frozen custard style things and have used raw yolks before after using low temperature cooking via immersion circulator to "pasteurize" them first. I usually refer to Douglas Baldwin for a majority of this stuff.

Though the first article that popped up on the search has some good reading on it from what I'm seeing. https://www.streetsmartkitchen.com/how-to-pasteurize-eggs-so...
Love my Joule. Been using it for years now it feels like for an amazing amount of things. Also the size and waterproof aspect of it is unbeatable. Good customer service too now that breville owns em.
Back in 2012 I tried the QR code on business card to download a vcard bit... it did not really garner any attention which was unfortunate. Seemed brilliant at the time. Could be I just was not an interesting individual though.
Restaurant wise it definitely is annoying when there is a QR code for a menu, another for the beer menu, and another for the specials. Even better when the printed out QR code is cut off and doesn't load correctly.
