The proposal would require the most common-sized electric water heaters to achieve efficiency gains with heat pump technology and gas-fired water heaters to achieve efficiency gains through condensing technology.
These are already available and marketed as high efficiency. Costs are generally double conventional units, though there are a lot of subsidies that eliminate the price premium. The biggest drawback is both types require drainage unlike conventional models. Retrofit installations may be difficult depending on the current setup.
PairDrop.net does the same via your browser. I think it's more or less the same mechanism, just no install needed and fully cross platform. Just visit the site on both devices and share stuff.
The snapdrop app on fdroid gives you an easy share intent to use.

Swiffer every couple weeks or whenever I notice dust building up. I like that it doesn't just move it around or kick it back into the air. Takes about 10 minutes to swipe over all the solid surfaces. I couldn't imagine taking more time.
