Behind my TV I have 16 open outlets on my UPS, but I can only access 8 of them because half of the bulbous plugs take up two plugs each.
So between my router, modem, switch, access point, Roku, TV, speakers, and Nintendo, I am running out of power outlets, not because there aren’t enough outlets, but because the plugs take up more than one outlet each.
Why can’t all plugs be designed to only take up one plug?

Many of the plugs are actually power supplies converting the line voltage to some lower value and usually converting it to DC. These usually overhang other outlets. You could use “outlet savers” available on Amazon. They are basically 6 to 12 inch extension cords that allow you to use all the outlets in your power strips. The power cube is plugged into the end of the short cord.
