Then I found out about the new Fitbit Air in June and picked one up. Advertised battery life is 7 days; I tend to get closer to 6. It does the sleep/activity tracking I want (though not quite as good as the AW if I'm honest).

The extra benefit is I've cut out smartwatch features from my wrist. I got tired of having notifications on a watch and rarely needed special apps or anything either. I really only used the AW for telling time, date, temp/weather conditions, and payments; but most of the time I have my phone or I'm near a computer anyway.

i can't even get agents to remember core instructions like "use jq instead of writing a python script to parse some json"..

I think the helpful part is taking something that already exists, learning how it works, and rewriting it yourself to internalize it.

Again as usual the more important thing is that you know what you're using otherwise it's just copying.

seems like there's a workaround but obviously far from ideal.

edit:

actually this may be the one I remember seeing at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/s/Dewr2dbVNX

I can't believe in all these years they haven't implemented a dual setup where they connect the wifi and do some kind of test connection or request to confirm it's a stable signal before entirely switching away from cellular data.
