    @@smashyrashy for the phones and tablets, it's already the case, EU imposed and universal charging system, and everybody except for one asshole choose to use USB-C. The asshole being Apple of course. They have FINALLY accepted to retire the very inefficient Thunderbolt and replace it with USB-C, BUT, you won't be able to use a standard USB-C cable. You'll have to buy (a fortune of course, because it's Apple) a certified cable with a micro chip inside that will allow your device to accept the said cable. If you use a standard cable, nothing will happen ...

    ​@@rubenayla stuff like this should absolutely be enforced. Just think of all the things that you use every day that rely on standards and are better for it. Imagine rolling up to a gas station and being like, "oh shit, I forgot my Chevron to Toyota gas tank adapter, now I have to go find a Shell station to use their compatible gas pumps." Or picking up a AA size battery and first having to check it to make sure it was the right voltage and amperage each time so you don't fry your electronics by accident.

    I have to give props to Alexandre on his organization system. I've been using his 3D printed bins, and the original cabinet for a couple of years now, and I've even built out a few cabinets of my own design, using his system as the design base. In my opinion, well worth the (low) price.

    Thinking about eye protection, if you wear glasses, single focus prescription lenses for safety glasses can be quite reasonable. Or at least they were for me in the US. When you aren't compromising your vision to save your sight, you're much more likely to wear the safety glasses in the first place. If you wear bifocals or "progressive" lenses, ask your provider about a "computer vision" prescription. It's optimized for clarity at about arm's length, and can be a good choice for "shop" glasses, too.

    Currently renovating myself. Cross laser really is the MVP. What I'd add to the list is specifically a CORDLESS hammer drill. Its one of my most used tools and I can't count how often I tripped over the wire or had to lay an extension cord because I also removed wires and only have one outlet. As vacuum cleaner you'll need one with at least manual dust filter cleaning feature if you have concrete or drywall dust. The automatic filter cleaning vacuums are crazy expensive. I'm using a Makita wi5h manual and that costs like 140€ I have another vacuum without it and it looses suction power 10seconds in of sucking that fine dust

    Counting in the tools purchases is actually a big deal when doing DYI renovations. For example renovating a small toilet you will need a lot of tools but those can actually be a big part of the bugdet... but if you have few more jobs inline you end-up saving a ton. Oh and: "Don't go shopping when you are hungry" -rule applies to tools. After whaling away at a concrete slab for a day that jackhammer on the shop floor looks REALLY cheap 😅

    Hello, I love your videos, they give me lots of ideas for projects, especially about your 3D printed boxes with the grid system. I've made a CAD model that can be customized, but I'm missing some information, like the printing parameters, the thickness of the walls that would be suitable, the functional clearance that should be added between the boxes, the dimensions of the grid bars, and the optimal size of a tile. Since you have already thought about these problems, I would be interested in the conclusions you have drawn. Sincerely
