PhD researcher for cybersec/ml. So yes... ish. Not doing commits/builds every day.

It's actually fine for that. I have 24 hour access to my uni building so I just go in when no-one else is around to write my code.

I print off research papers to read them at home/coffee shops. I prefer reading from paper anyway.

Got my phone if I really need to read something. But limited data allowance, so have to ration it...

I used to be in this boat for financial reasons. I downloaded tons of documentation and learned to love specifications.

Of course, nothing beats Google, but if the docs are good (big if) you tend get a deeper understanding of your tools.

I know that feeling but people were not entirely unlearned before widespread home broadband. Consider the possibility that you could even learn more than you do now, without using the internet at home. It’s likely possible!
