Put all your lights on dimmers, it's so nice at night to just dim all the lights in the house. Even places you wouldn't think like the bathroom, when you are having a party having the bathroom light on the dimmer makes it really inviting for guests.

This probably falls under robot, but really putting everything in a home automation system, we have a Google Assistant display in every room in the house and every light in the house is dimmable and connected to the system, so if you want to adjust the thermostat from bed, or turn all the lights out you can just do it from the bedside screen. Also works for whole house audio for the same system so you can just cast from your phone or one of the screens any song or playlist from Spotify across the entire house.

Oh, also, keypad door lock, my car uses my phone as a key so I literally no longer carry any keys with me.

I was thinking earlier about posting keyless cars - my car literally has no key at all, and while I could use my phone I haven't set it up yet, and would still carry the dongle out of an excess of caution.

Never having to take my keys out of pocket is actually super nice, and just having to touch one of the front doorhandles to unlock the car is also incredibly handy. I can also use my phone to remote start the car and do some other poo poo - that's a separate app than the key-equivalent thing, and also comes in really handy to cool off or warm up the interior before I get in as appropriate.

Don't even need a backup key for mine or the phone, a there is a hidden capacitive keypad on the door, type in a pin code and the door will open, then put in a more secure alphanumeric passcode in the touch screen and the car will go into drive mode.

My husband's car has a button on the door to unlock the handle but one thing I loved about my BMW is it had a sensor on the inside of the door handle so the second you stuck your hand in the handle, if you had the keyfob with you the doors would automatically unlock. My new car just has a button that lights up when you approach the car, press the button and a little arm in the door physically pops the door open for you. There is a tiny vestigial door handle on the front but not back doors but there is already space between the door and the door frame to just open it using the door frame.

Yeah, when I get close the doorhandles light up, and there's a sensor on the inside of the door handle to unlock it. There's also a small touchpad on the outside of the door handle I touch to lock all the doors again. Seems like a small thing, but at this point I am absolutely spoiled by it. Using an actual physical key feels barbaric.

I'm guessing you have the BMW comfort access? That sounds exactly like my old car, my new one still has the capacitive lock button but if you used the keyfob or phone as the proximity key, if you just walk away from the car it will automatically lock itself.

No, it's a Hyundai. Just a really well-appointed one. I bought the car based off the performance specs - all the luxury stuff was just a happy surprise for me, since I wasn't shopping with that in mind.

Cloth handkerchiefs. So much better than paper hankies, and if you leave one in your pocket they don't disintegrate in the wash and cover everything in tiny bits.

I have a ton of these that I get from estate sales and thrift stores. The pretty printed ones I wear like a bandana and the boring ones get stuck in my purse/coat pockets/car. They're fantastic.

I iron the ones I wear, but my best friend irons and starches all her hankies. She is deranged.

Wireless charging adapters. I used stuff like this (I'm not sure this is a great example but it looks very similar to the ones I've gotten: https://www.newegg.com/p/359-00G7-00006?Item=9SIABES4XB6050) to convert old phones to wireless charging, and used one to make the Pixel 6a I got for my dad be able to wirelessly charge. They might not provide the fastest charging (the ones I got do put out more power than the example linked above), but it is incredibly handy. I'm really surprised more people don't use them, because never having to deal with plugging cables in or worry about snagging a cable and pulling the phone off the desk or wherever is a serious quality of life improvement.

I don't like wireless chargers, mostly because they are too slow.

Now, one of these dual USB-C 100W GaN chargers is what you want for speed. All power modes supported, charges laptops, tablets, phones, speakers, flashlights*, weed vape, vibrators, even has enough power for my portable soldering iron. Supports rapid charge mode for both my Asus and previous OnePlus phone.



Perfect for holidays with multiple devices.

Edit: this flashlight is cheap and small and USB-C AND 18650 AND dazzlingly bright at max settings.

I have a brushless drill driver from Bosch, it's a great all round tool but the party trick is the ESC that detects the torque stall from the clutch and stops the motor as the screw reaches perfect depth. No finesse needed, just mash the trigger and it will stop the screw right at perfect torque.

No one *needs* this feature of course but when you have to put like 80 panel screws in a cabinet job you can go much much faster without worrying about stripped screws and rounded bits.

Combine with Torx head screws and good quality bits you can essentially dismantle and reassemble everything too, and even reuse all the screws for another project.

I never buy posi drive screws now unless it's absolutely the only option, Torx all the way.

(I have and like Robertson too but they are way rarer here)

I have these for concerts:

They're designed to reduce different frequencies of sound relatively evenly so it doesn't mess with sound quality. It's not perfect, and there may well be a better brand, but it's a real quality of life improvement if you like metal shows.

if you're sick and tired of the cheap adhesive detaching from bags that have the built-in ziploc type thing on the top that's super crappy and always fails when you're about 1/3 of the way through whatever is in the bag, get a bunch of these in different sizes

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y68C8G6



it's just a tube with a rod through it so you crease the top of the bag over and slip it through. airtight, no moving plastic clips or anything so should last forever
