   FUN FACT:
   if you build electronic devices which contain a raspberry pi in them, consider what will happen if one of them gets thrown out.
   someone might open them up, stick the microSD card in them into a reader, and open up that tantalizing "apps.json" file which has YOUR GOD DAMN AWS KEYS? IN UNENCRYPTED PLAIN TEXT?

     it has been zero days since foone has opened up some old tech and accidentally gotten information she was not supposed to have.

     I did a little more searching. This raspi was running balenaOS which is a docker-containers-on-raspi thing.

     Fun fact: If you pass environment options to a docker image you're building, they get stored in the config.v2.json file for that container!

     So there's ANOTHER COPY OF THE AWS KEYS HERE!

     anyway this is what I have:
     https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ari-introduces-wellness-detector-jonathan-burke/

     Good news: That company/product doesn't seem to be active anymore. So these keys have almost certainly expired and been invalidated. I'm just gonna assume that and not check because I don't want to get in trouble for "hacking"
