One problem with this is that you need fairly advanced technology to be able to sequence DNA, and therefore this method can only be used to communicate with advanced civilizations. It could not be used, for example, to restart civilization after a collapse to barbarism.
One way around this would be to encode the instructions for building the DNA sequencer on something non-perishable and easily read with low technology (e.g. large monoliths), with a pointer to the DNA cache. How to make the plans comprehensible to the intelligent barbarian is left as an exercise for the alert reader.

If a co-worker was to spontaneously combust (à la Garth Marenghi's Darkplace) in your office, what you might expect to one day slough off the ceiling and slap atop your computer screen would be this anthropomorphic webcam No, I don't think it would. Nope. Uh-uh. No how.

I don't know why, but I would have expected this being posted by OG in his "IoT Crap" series in the lounge...
yeah, I know, that doesn't necessarily fall into IoT... but still connected to the internet and crappy (and creepy) enough

You aren't the only one feeling like you're giving more than you're getting from your employer – a chunk of Microsofties are of the same opnion. "Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?"
But -- free soft drinks and coffee? Isn't that a great deal?

The question is... do they think it about their employyer? Or about Microsoft?
In this case that could be a not so small difference...

In my early 20s I travelled up the coast to a hippy town (Nimbin) right near Byron Bay.
We'd taken a tent, so wouldn't want one of the on-sites.
The signs all called it a combi-van park. Hmmmm. Yup, on-site combis to sleep in. Someone had opened and offered us 1/2 a plastic supermarket bag full of pot for $10 a few minutes earlier, in the town's main street, with no more secrecy than someone asking for a cigarette.
Anyhow, the office at the park was up a tree and the flower-garden by the communal kitchen had a spindly 2 ft dope plant trying to survive.
Well.... you did say "Any".
