Throwaway, because my professional profile is connected to my main: You just don't get it. Neither does anyone complaining about $350 for a brick. You're not the audience. This isn't for you. This is for the people that both; value their time ($350 is less than an hour of work and consequently it would take me more than an hour to properly lockdown my phone) and are looking for absolutely no room for distraction. I sympathize with the GP, becaue I am exactly like him. The basis for impulsivity is physiological. There is no pre-thought "Oh I want to do this, wait maybe I shouldn't" it's just a pure feeling that moves you to do. I have had many social media accounts, I've made and deleted them many times. I also have many browser extensions and hosts files to stop myself from visiting known runaway triggers. It's untenuable. Amphetamines/stimulants help, but the trade-offs are too great. A week-long retreat can "disconnect" you, but that doesn't mean anything when you come back and jump right back into it. I've gone so far as to buy a large amount of rural property, have a cabin with basic electricity, where I run a very barebones W500 OpenBSD ThinkPad with satellite internet (2Mbps/s). It can't do any kind of media processing (YouTube, movies, etc.). It is by far the most productive environment I have ever been in, and I paid for all of this, because that's what I value. I'm only posting this, because I impulsively turned off mt extensions and went into the HN rabbit hole.
