I use "Keep" on my Android phone. My grocery shopping list is one of the things on it and I just tell Google to add this or that to the shopping list when I am cooking and have my hands wet/full/dirty. It works well and I don't forget half the things I used to.

This morning a customer dropped off an external drive for me to copy recovered data to, and said "I'm so happy you were able to recover my data, I feel like giving you a hug." I replied, "My wife will be back from shopping any minute now so maybe another time!" We both (and the wife, later ) had a good laugh.

"I'm watching my novella..." LOL!!!
When I was a kid in Brazil, like pretty much all foreign families, we had a maid and a cook. The novella's ran in the evening vs soaps in the US which was during the day. We'd been in our new home for a few days with the new maid and cook. One night I went into the kitchen to ask for something. While they got it for me, the next day my parents got a real earful about interrupting watching their favorite novella. After that we had express orders never to interrupt during the show again not matter how urgent.
Um. They're actually a really useful single mom tool. Remind kids to get in bed? Check. Remind kids to get the eff OUT of bed--on a schedule with music they like? Check. Set certain lights to turn off and on because I forget/am bone tired/sick? Check. Keeping an eye on the front of the house with a cam because people are terrible? Check. Playing podcasts in whatever room I'm in when I'm lonely? Check. Send kids an intercom message on the other side of the house? Check. Status report of the robot vacuum? Check. Keeping 100 year-old mother-in-law entertained? Check. Worth every penny? Checkity-check check. I don't care what anybody says, I am DELIGHTED to have my robot overlords do this stuff for me. It's like having a second mom around the house. Not lazy, just exhausted.

The whole recovering data thing is something I wouldn't even try because companies like Knoll Ontrack frown upon it and always ask if prior attempts were made.
That said, I know that typically for mechanical drives, if the OS won't even boot and lots of files are unreadable just adding it as another storage source to a working system often allows you to copy files off it, and I have experience.

My daughter and son-in-law has one of those machines. It would never get that Cheeto. Their dog Ranger makes sure no food ever touches the ground.

Saw it read it had to share it
I pinched this from a local post. It is brilliant!
ATTENTION CITIZENS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN:
Please be advised that all residents planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are required to undergo a Risk Assessment addressing the safety of open sleighs.
This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers.
Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered.
To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.
Benches, stools and orthopedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night.
While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all facility users are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.
The Angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that prior to shining his/her glory all around s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.
Following last year’s well publicized case, everyone is advised that EC legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer.
Further to this, exclusion of Mr. R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence
While it is acknowledged that gift-bearing is commonly practised in various parts of the world, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered.
This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages.
It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded under provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Further, caution is advised regarding other common gifts, such as aromatic resins that may initiate allergic reactions.
Finally, in the recent case of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.
Compliance of these guidelines is advised in order for you to fully participate with the festive spirit.
Happy Christmas.
