No, because they’re relatively more insecure than, and far less useful than a smartphone.

An alternative for some is to uninstall undesired apps and set up something like Screen Time restrictions and have your spouse or a trusted friend keep the passcode secret from you.

The real problem is your self-control.

Anyway, HN search will pull up countless Ask HN threads for just 2023 about this same topic.
