Your digital legacy: What happens to your accounts after death      Digital legacy is about the online traces we leave behind; accounts, data, and profiles. Most Australians have a plan in their will for the house and other assets, but it’s easy to forget about digital information. Unlike money and property, these online accounts don’t pass on automatically, so it’s important to think about how to hand these down to make them easier to manage. So how do you set things up now to make things easier, and what do you do if you’re the one managing someone else’s online accounts? What happens to your accounts when you die? There’s no law in Australia that gives your executor access to your digital accounts. Whether someone dies with a detailed will or no will at all, there’s no automatic right that lets a successor log into their accounts. In practice, each platform and account offers different tools that help you manage what happens when you pass away. If you spend the time to set this up, it can save time for those managing the process.    READ MORE..

 

Guests and Topics on the Show

Auracast: The Next Generation of Connected Bluetooth   Bluetooth has become one of the most common ways we connect our phones, headphones, speakers and other devices. But a newer technology called Auracast is opening up a different way of sharing audio. Instead of simply connecting one device to another, Auracast can allow multiple compatible devices to receive the same audio broadcast. That could have applications at home, in public spaces, during travel and for people who want greater flexibility with their listening experience. Harman has been adding Auracast support across a growing range of compatible products. Amrit Lall from Harman International joined us to explain what Auracast actually is, how it differs from traditional Bluetooth connections, and what consumers need to know about the growing connected audio ecosystem. The key thing, look for the Auracast technology on the range of Bluetooth Speakers to take advantage of the new connection technology.  Check out their Bluetooth speakers here.   MOVA Takes Outdoor Cleaning to the Next Level      Robotic technology is no longer limited to vacuuming floors inside the home. Manufacturers are increasingly taking automation outdoors, with robotic mowers and other smart devices designed to handle some of the most time-consuming household jobs. MOVA’s outdoor range includes robotic lawn mowers that use technologies such as LiDAR-based environmental sensing, mapping and obstacle avoidance to navigate outdoor spaces without traditional boundary wires.   Kattie Lu from MOVA ANZ joined us to discuss the company’s growing outdoor range, how robotic technology is changing lawn care, and what consumers should consider when choosing an automated outdoor device for their home.    Click Here for details of the Mova Launch in Australia
