I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

  • An impulse buy of a $20 micro wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Holy shit. Rock-solid design, ludicrously long battery life, excellent signal transmission, a replaceable battery with the option to use AAAs, a usable trackpad with sensitivity settings. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with this device as an electrical engineer.

    Now I can actually get real work/play done when I’m too depressed to get out of bed. It’s also really useful for working with a Raspberry Pi. That plus a cheap LCD means I can just use it like an ordinary desktop.

    If anyone is interested in this product, ask for a link and I’ll post it in the comments.

      Had the same reaction to buying a cheap trackpad/keyboard all in one - ended up buying a few more so I could have one in each room… Good for main pc, laptops, phones and tablets, Flawless signal, insane battery, such good tech

      I found having a big glass of water next to my alarm, which I can chug as soon as I wake up does wonders for getting out of bed and fighting off the AM blues - hope you’re good
