Is there North American supplier of such things? I checked Amazon in Canada and didn't quite find what I am looking for.

I have used this company to purchase figure-8 cords with UK and EU plugs and have been happy with their products: https://www.sfcable.com/6ft-uk-bs136...ower-cord.html. They seem to offer only international adapters for USB charging, but I bought an Anker wall charger that uses the figure-8 cord:

. You'd need two cords if you wanted dedicated cords for each or could rotate the cord between your computer charging and your USB charging.

Or you could always go the DIY path
