LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.

Universal remotes. Why should my remote work on a tv in the Andromeda galaxy?
The THC content of edibles. It's unregulated in NYC so everything seemingly has between 30mg and 1250mg while I'm sitting here with a 10mg hard limit. A few states have a 5mg or 10mg per serving limit and it's wonderful

I don't have anything to add, I just want to say this is a phenomenal question, lol.
Nobody can back in to park.
My rule would be the exact opposite, lol. It's proven to be safer over and over. The main reason is because you have good vision of the road and traffic when you leave, as opposed to when you have to leave in reverse.

Backing in to park is so much better though. Better viability of the parking space with mirrors. And then when you leave there’s less to think about.

I think most of these ideas are great but actually too consequential.
Chargers should have an LED that displays red while charging and green when finished. An amber LED toward the end is acceptable. I'm not making this up. I have an item that only displays solid red, when it's finished charging.
I'm partial to blinking for charging and solid for charged. Allows single color LED which is cheaper. Then if you do use multi-color or RGB you can turn red for incompatible/error.

Red/green colorblindness is a thing. I would suggest a flashing lamp for charging and a steady light for charged.

I had a drone like that. Blank so you don't know it's working until it lights up for done
Thank you!!
OLED steam deck uses white and green which is confusing too
Oncoming car headlights should not blind you. Companies need to stop making these and if they are custom jobs, this should be easy tickets for the police.
This is legislated in the US. Just not enforced and cars became taller since the law was written (-3ft/75ft iirc, may vary by state).
In Scandinavia they actually care about this and high beam use is part of diver training. It's nice. Also semi trucks will happily blind you with a thousand Suns if you forget. So it's rare to get blinded in night driving.
Seems kind of consequential to me. But I agree.

Anyone who lets their dog bark outside for 10+ continuous minutes (except in case of emergency) loses dog privileges for a year. One year added for every five minutes over 10.
ShotSpotter installs can be repurposed to locate homes of negligent owners who are annoying the entire neighborhood by letting their dogs bark unmitigated.
Its so hard to get them penalized for barking too. Lucky for me my dumb bitch neighbor was letting her dog roam off leash so i nailed her for that and ive been able to get some sleep. Most of the time you have to get 2 other neighbors to report them as well, which is bullshit imo.
