What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier? (lemm.ee)

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

When going on vacations abroad, we bring a power strip from home. With it, you'll only need a single international converter to power multiple devices.

I do this as well, but add in a 10 port USB charger and some USB cables so I can charge all my devices.

That sounds like its gonna explode XD

Do you often have like 10 usb devices charging at once??

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a family of five. When we go on vacation, we have 4 tablets, 2 phones, 5 watches, and a power bank. If it's summer, a rechargeable personal fan for my wife. So 10 isn't even enough.

Whoa. At this point, I'd be so stressed from charging stuff all the time, that I would reject technology and buy a country house lol.

And you also add your own portable electrical dam

I just tend to buy a powerboard at whatever place I end up. Surprisingly cheap compared to the price of the journey, and a great gift for someone on the last day.

How would that work? Instead of one foreign electrical outlet, I end up with six of them.
