Rickrolling iPad Bundle - $1500 Prank Gift

A Unique Digital Legacy: Zugu's "In Case of Death" iPad Bundle

Only the second day of CES 2025 has unfolded, yet distinguishing genuine innovations from elaborate hoaxes is becoming increasingly challenging. Currently, Zugu’s “In Case of Death” product appears to be leading the pack in terms of novelty and intrigue.

How the System Functions

This offering from Zugu functions as a digital dead man’s switch. It integrates an 11-inch iPad case, a smart ring, and a dedicated application. Included is an 11-inch iPad Pro designed to become unusable – effectively “bricked” – upon the user’s passing.

The system is designed to recognize when the smart ring is removed from the finger, preventing accidental bricking during routine charging. Zugu is embracing the somewhat somber nature of the product with a range of customizable options.

Available "Death Protections"

Beyond simply bricking the iPad, several “Death Protections” are available. These include:

Destroy My Browser: This feature clears the browser and its entire history.
Nuke My iPad: All data stored on the iPad is completely erased.
Rickroll My Loved Ones: The iPad will endlessly play Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” video.
Tweet My Followers: A pre-written message is automatically posted to the user’s Twitter account.

The default tweet reads: “Going offline permanently, bestie. Literally. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to my obituary #LastPost #NoFilter #NoHeartBeat #RIPme.”

Pricing and Availability

The complete “In Case of Death” system is priced at $1,500. Free shipping is offered, and customers might consider purchasing screen wipes alongside their purchase.
