Also I have found many toys for babies and toddler are really loud for no reason. I usually open such toys and remove speakers or if sound is important I would add a small resistor from some other toy.
Another thing that is sort of related to tech skills is ability to research and learn new topics. I was absolutely not handy but in last few years I have learned various home improvement/maintenance such as changing toilet flush, masonry, taking care of pool, and probably many more such things. But this can be a little bit of curse too. There are many times where I took on a project after watching various YouTube videos, only to find out that it is not as straightforward. For example, masonry needs a lot of practice and that project needs to be redone.
