@shanselman I'm... Struggling to think of anything I have backups of. I mean I have plenty of my old phones but I wouldn't use any of them if my phone broke... They're mostly windows phones tbf.

Charging cables? Does that count as tech? I have a reasonable number of USB c cables scattered around the house.

@shanselman Our coffee maker. It’s not fancy. Just drip. But have multiple. Just in case.

The only other answer really is ISPs. Pay for a backup. Just in case.

@jpsays @shanselman I feel like Internet is the answer that's significantly more important than any other.

@shanselman Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic keyboard. I always have two working keyboards. 😁

@shanselman I'm actually a huge fan of chiclet keyboards, and exclusively used Logitech K360 keyboards for over a decade. They were dummy cheap so I just bought like three of them in all different looks (they came in some really fun designs doo). One still works great, and is still my backup keyboard.

I need an ergonomic keyboard these days though on account of my olds. I'm a couple months into a K860 right now, and I'm seriously considering getting a backup for it.

@shanselman I keep buying the same pair of $20 noise-cancelling earbuds on eBay because I kept losing the expensive ones.
