The folks at Textualize have taken it one step further with https://github.com/Textualize/trogon

It's a neat way to make powerful CLIs more accessible to less-technical users.

Shallow water blackout is a phenomenon that occurs when lungs expand while ascending from a deep dive. The contrast from deep to shallow is what's dangerous. Oxygen is rapidly pulled out of your bloodstream back into your lungs as they expand. It happens quickly (and unexpectedly if you're not already aware of it). Of course you can stay too long at a shallow depth, but that's a simple, predictable linear exhaustion of oxygen.

Another couple for your list–

Moving a device from Wifi to wired marginally helps all your other wifi devices. Overall it can improve performance enough to not need another access point.

Even better is PoE which can let you put an AP in places that would otherwise require an electrician to install mains power outlets. Remote power-cycle is good too, even if you already have mains power for the AP.
