I occasionally refresh the various cables and adapters in my backpacks. The addition the other day was this little tube that includes a short USB-C-to-USB-C plug cable, plus various USB-C-to-other-plug adapters, and a SIM extractor. Also handy is a longer USB-A to USB-C cable that supports data (since my laptop and chargers are still USB-A), a reputable USB-A data blocker, a USB-A charger wallwart, and a very small USB power bank. I love the idea of the USB-power-to-ThinkPad-barrel adapter in the article, and will have to find one that doesn't scare me. (Currently "rocking" X200, T520, and W520 that would be hard to replace if fried.)
