Loved the article.
One pet peeve of mine: PD plugs are too powerful to charge puny devices. Not the first time I've run into this problem.
So sad that we've finally gotten a good standard (USB c) but there are still things that look like they should fit together and work, but don't.
The actual problem is that many brick chargers assume that a low current means charging is finished so it cuts the power, this is extra common with battery packs.
You want USB PD PPS for a charger which is much more likely to actually understand that the device wants and should get the specific amount of power it's asking for, either low or high.

I keep looking weird at people who say phones give you cancer and that you should never sleep with one next to you. Same people wear smartwatch with sensors pressing against your skin 24/7

I bought an $80 Seiko because it doesn't require electricity at all. Can't read my emails on it though.

I got a cheapo Xiaomi one a few years back.
Pretty sure it just makes the heart rate up and infers it from how many steps you're doing.
When it gets wet, it randomly skips songs on Spotify.
I've got one of the bands (10, I think). That seems to be a solved problem. I can't interact with it in the shower, but it doesn't go haywire.
As for the heart rate, it's at least consistent. It matches what my blood pressure measurements report, and follows exercise, rather than steps.
I'm bad at breaking or losing watches. I don't buy expensive smart watches, I aim for a cheap, functional one.

I meant to ask if you have encountered shakshuka and posted on your blog

I've had my Amazfit Bip (the original) for 6 or 7 years and the only complaint I have is the shitty original non-breathing silicon strap. After I replaced it with nylon strap, it was pretty much perfect.
The battery still lasts over three weeks. The display glass only has a few tiny scratches on it, despite that I've worn the watch basically 24/7 all these years.
It has all the basic functionalities I need built in and the not-so-important-but-nice ones I can get via Tasker.
And it was really cheap, I originally bought it just to see what the fuss about smartwatches was all about. But it's been so damn useful and trustworthy that I won't even consider upgrading until it fails someday.
After checking out the specs, I think I might go for a Bip next, tnx. Always worth having a backup watch too for when your main is getting charged.

You like breakfast? Anywhere near Massachusetts?
I've been working on a super simple blog about breakfast in all 351 cities/towns. I'm at 133.
Can throw a link if you wanna look.
I had flashbacks to Parks and Rec breakfast scenes and I believe Leslie Knope would support your cause.

Ah that's too bad, but I bet you've had some really excellent experiences doing that, so cool
