If I were just to read the technical information then it would hardly
be a break, would it?

I don't know what you are employed to do, but my main job is to think.  Also
to write code based on those thoughts, but mainly to think. As yet I have
found no way to restrict my job-related thoughts ONLY to working hours and
all others to the rest of the day. If you have then then maybe you should
tell us how.

But in many cases it is more effective to go for the player! :-)
