For me, an under-the-sink trash can that hands on the cabinet door has been a huge QoL improvement.
A back scratcher.
Much more situational, but our back gate has a padlock that was originally different from our house keys. Kwikset actually sells “programmable” padlocks so now it is the same key as our front door, which makes life a tad easier.
A computer mouse that fits my hands.
Enough phone and laptop chargers to not have to constantly go to another room to grab one.
What’s the current recommendation for those? Is it still Anker?
Also be sure to get a medium length one. It’s so much nicer having a 6’ cable, or 10’ if you want to get crazy with it. It makes traveling and transit much nicer (ex. University students working on campus), and it might be nice for home so you can roll all over your bed while on your phone
I’ve heard good things about Nomad Goods. I have some of their other accessories for iPhone and watch, and it’s the best quality stuff I’ve ever found. I can’t personally recommend the USB-C cables or wall adapters, but I plan to get some soon. I have a leather case, MagSafe mount stand, and a few watch bands. All are incredible, but pricey.
I do have some Anker cables and they’re perfectly fine. Much better than others I’ve tried, including Apple shit. Anker also makes some nice outlet extension/USB adapter combos that are super convenient.
If you want a fancy coiled cable, try Ventec edit: Ventev. It’s amazing for the car - keeps it off the floor.
CableMatters is my go-to when I need something I can’t find above, like a USB extension cable or high-speed HDMI. They don’t feel as premium and are a bit stiff, but they’re reliable, and they just seem to make every option you can think of.
Personally, I don’t buy Anker products since the eufy scandal, but their chargers are still top notch so I am sure you won’t have much to complain about.
I use Ugreen right now and am satisfied. I don’t have the equipment to measure efficiency, so I can’t comment on how good it is.
They sold these cameras claiming it does not use any cloud service, but that was a lie. They produced unencrypted streams and lied about it. They lied so much that it proves they are not trustworthy as a company, and why I personally won’t be buying any Anker products for a long time. They apologized and what I took from this is “we are sorry we got caught”.
Their charging department is probably not the same ones, but still, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I started working on my generic grunt in my 30s and use it for all kinds of things: getting out of chairs, into chairs, picking something up off the floor, the first stair up or down, lifting anything with both hands, etc.
As time goes on I’m developing specialized grunts like a go slightly deeper on the first step down a flight of stairs than up.
Washes your bum after using the toilet. Saves toilet paper. Gets your rear cleaner. This is a great suggestion. No power needed, just hooks right into the plumbing. I have this one . Bio Bidet Bidet Attachment for Toilet, White, Non Electric
Yes! I had enough of this so I bought like 6 USB-C cables at once, best buy ever

That’s very detailed, thank you!

Edit: Spelling.
Any more info on this Eufy issue? A came across a camera system if theirs that’s having issues. Might have to read up tomorrow.

Everything but Anker. They constantly make false marketing, that’s why they lost Sponsor Deals.
I’m gonna guess yall over 30 since getting up and taking 10 steps to and from another room is such a big deal lol
Oh my time will definitely come. My back is already fucked at 23 so I’m like halfway there.
Start preparing now.

It’s been quite a journey.
Eh lazy or not my chargers are all plugged into outlets behind furniture.
What’s a bidet attachment do?

Power is needed if you don’t want the water to be ice cold, though
