Idk. Tbh I don’t even have a will or plan or anything if I die. If anything my oldest brother would probably start using the computer bc he wants one so if I die before he gets one he’d probably take mines.

Don’t care.
I’m dead.

I don’t care. I’m dead. Although my browser history could cause some ripples in the tranquility of my family though 😀

Just wait for respawn

My ghost would still use my PC ☺️, honestly though I don’t care as long as the PC serves the next user gets the same thrills that I get from it when using.

I log on from hell and continue to game!

Opera GX would fake my search history in two weeks. That’s pretty much it, though.

My PC goes with me. To the grave.

I don’t wanna die. I built my pc last week. Besides, there is no worthy candidate for my pc in my friends or family

nothing, its encrypted.

It’s better if it would just… Disappear to say the least

nothing

My parents can just get all the data, nothing to hide, I don’t have a password on my gaming/personal machine
Bright-Efficiency-65
Well if my parents can figure out my password, I guess they get access to all the nudes of my ex

Nothing, all behind many passwords and other security stuff.
But probably i would still use the PC even as a ghostxD

I hope the wife keeps the PC and data. It has all of our family memories etc so while I have everything on cloud storage the issues she might have getting access after death might be a pain in the arse.
I really hope that if she does sell it that she doesn’t sell my PC for what she THINKS I spent on it….. Someone will get a deal of a century I think. And if she finds someone ethical who tells her how much it is worth I will be glad I was unalived already.

My wife has a complete access to my pc and phone, all the clouds and storages, so, everything will be fine.

I have disaster plans for all my stuff. My wife has access to all the important information and the non-important information is just that.

A few tb of not very interesting stuff will be lost, and my pc will probably go to my best friend.

Wife set up on my Gmail to have access. Mainly due to our family photos being there.
donkingdonut
I guess my family collects my unique collection of desktops and laptops 🤣

Anything worth accessing is on shared cloud storage or it’s physical documents locked in a safe that I, my wife, my son when he’s old enough and our parents have access to.
Otherwise? Idk, guess my son gets all my stuff.

Pc goes to one of my close friends, he can keep the data I don’t mind

Bunch of songs being search up like “what’s the song that goes mmm mmm nah nah uh yeah”

It would probably be sold online I guess? I assume the next owner would reinstall the OS.

I’m unconcerned about it. My SO and I keep full backups of everything a few different ways which we both have full access to. I don’t keep any secrets from her. We’ve put a fair amount of effort into streamlining as much stuff as we can for each other in the event something happens.
The last thing you want is to have to jump through hundreds of hoops when someone who shares your life with you passes away.
I realize that position isn’t for everyone because marriage is more like dating for people these days.

Bet my brother would take my PC, there is nothing sketchy or out of place within my data, everything will just kind of disappear into the obscurity of time. I have everything online in order, it’s just the money in crypto would probably disappear, because I can’t possibly write down any passwords related to that.

Pc gets given away and I have no data of my personal life!

My dad would keep my data as a reminder of me. He would browse through my hard drives discover the 2pb homework folder and die instantly(probably)

The data on most of my drives isn’t encrypted – in no small part because the most valuable things on there are photos that I want other people to be able to access in the event that something happens to me.
With that said, I’m the go-to tech support person for my entire extended family. Were this to happen to someone else in my family, I’d be the one they would go to asking if I could get photos off of a cousin’s computer if they didn’t know the password.
So even though I have a USB dock for both 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives that I keep right next to my computer, I’m not sure how long it would take before someone actually got around to getting the data – not because they wouldn’t care to, but because it wouldn’t be immediately clear to them how to go about it. My backup drives are the ones already in the dock – hopefully they would consider that and just plug it in, but it wouldn’t be that obvious that they can circumvent my password on the main computer by removing the drives and plugging them into that dock to get the rest of my files directly.
Maybe if I ever have any signs of health issues, I should get a standard portable SSD or HDD for backups, so that it’s obvious that they just connect that to a USB port and then have the “Photos” folder be a top-level directory to make it really easy…
