I remember helping a friend apply eardrops to his ears due to earwax buildup and thinking "man if these vials had long bendy straw-like tubes then he wouldn't need someone to lean over his ear applying drops like someone applying cookie flavoring to a cookie."

You literally turn your head to the side and drop the drops in your ear. You don't need a second person.

A long bendy straw would require you to squeeze the liquid from the bottle all the way along the straw until the end point. That would mean a larger bottle with a larger amount of liquid for you to be able to squeeze it along the whole length.

Drunk mode for phone. It holds all purchases in a limbo state and pops up with a list to approve or deny at noon the next day.

It also redirects any communication with your ex to an AI bot for the evening.

You could probably setup a "drunk mode" on Android to do all that.

I thought a very low and compact version of a bench to do floor presses would exist but I have never found one, maybe I'm not using the right keywords. Just a short, narrow sturdy piece of equipment to lay on to get my back off the floor just enough to get some range of motion.

East to setup Voice driven home automation systems.

Sure we have homeseer and home automation, both good tools, and sure we have plug-ins with Alexa, but none of these tools sell their own Alexa like device so I can be cloud free.

Nobody wants to sell cloud-free devices. Think of the ongoing revenue!!
