In other words, unoptimised code written in a week-end to refute a claim that creating it would be ever so difficult wastes some resources according to some benchmark. Give the (refterm) author a break!

"command" works also interactively, to call the "real" thing instead of the aliased thing. As an example, I alias "cat" to run "bat", which pretty-prints the output. If I don't want the pretty-pr

Compared to an amazfit, which is a similar style smartwatch, the battery life is atrocious - only a few days? Is there any work done to improve the battery life? Ideally, a month (or so) on a charge would be best.
