When programming, instrumental music. For that I'll pull up a YT live music channel, something from Lofi Girl, Epic Music VM, or Chill Music Lab channel.

When I'm coding it's a lot of Drum and Bass, usually late 90s-early aughts but as late as the '10s. I don't like the newer stuff at the moment - too vocally and autotuney, as is popular. I stick to instrumentals when I code in any case, as vocals are too easily distracting.
When I'm cooking or cleaning or something, I like something fun, like Whitey - Stay on the Outside. Maybe even some electro-swing (don't judge me!)
When I want songs that make me think, well pick anything by Aesop Rock, but if you're going there, start with Rings.
I have different music for different moods and activities - much more than the above, but I don't want to spend all the screen real estate on it.

I have a small pile of old laptops that I'm not quite willing to get rid of just yet. Stacked them one of top of the other. Some have been in the pile for years.
The one at the bottom, under the weight of all the others, I guess started putting too much pressure on the trackpad buttons, and I recently found out they no longer work. Lesson learned. That's what you get for being so obsessed with thinness, you manufacture a laptop with so little space between the display and the keyboard when the lid is closed that they touch.
Anyway. I thought I was really clever when I instead started using those (typically) metal or plastic dividers you get from office supply places. I don't know what to call them. They're made to let you organize papers on a desk. Not just a stack of horizontal shelves. The sort that lets you place papers or small books in them vertically.
Here. This illustrates what I'm talking about...
So...I started placing my old laptops in one of these trays, "nose first" -- none of my laptops have buttons on the front that would get damaged from the laptop sitting on that edge for some amount of time. Whether the power connector is at the back or either side, that's not a problem either. Easy to grab any of them or put them back (easier than trying to take the last one from a stacked pile anyway). Takes little room. I only see advantages to this. Most laptops nowadays are thin enough they easily fit in one slot.
Nothing particularly innovative here. I just never thought of using one of those trays like this until now.
How else have you repurposed some everyday thing in a way it wasn't really intended?

I have four laptops in a book rack. They sit in the rack on their sides (not as deep, but taller). The bottom of the rack is lined with a piece of foam, just in case the constant pressure from being stored that way might cause deformation of the plastic. Like yours, not innovative, but serviceable. Depending on the age of the laptop, I can fit up to three laptops at a time between the dividers. I figure there's room for a dozen machines in my rack.

I've got a stack going now...5 laptops and a scanner in my spare office chair. Two of those were started in the last 12 months. All are at least 9 y/o and running a mix of Win7 and 10. In the closet I have my very first laptop from '99. In my outdoor garage, I have my old TI/994a in the box...now if I just had a TV with a two-wire antennae hookup I could have some fun with BASIC!  Additionally, I have every tower PC I've ever owned and a few that weren't mine. I know I have a problem.

I put my Log Log Duplex Decitrig slide rule in its leather case, in a padded drawer.
I keep the book that came with it on the bookshelf.
(no, don't remember the last time I used it)

I had a moment of panic when I read your message and realised my British Thornton P221 Comprehensive slide rule wasn't in it's usual spot. Then I realised I'd moved it to an adjacent shelf while trying to tidy up. I last used it for anything serious roughly half a century ago!
