Yeah, I find the puzzle sliding JavaScript captchas the best as a user. Cognitively better than "training neural networks to recognise protestors", and still fast enough that it doesn't feel like a forced ad. Reliability might however vary a lot between implementations.

Plus, that way, you have a trail of invites. If something goes wrong, you can prune entire branches and mitigate most abuse.
I believe you're missing the actual causality chain here.
While it is actually proven that vendors will degrade your experience artificially to "motivate" you to buy new devices, in the never ending pursuit of monetary gain, there is no such potential incentive here: you aren't paying for new drivers.
And while others suggest biases, I do believe you are witnessing an effect that is at least partially real, if not totally, but not for the reasons you believe:
Most programs that leverage GPUs end up being GPU bottlenecked. Meaning that one can almost always improve the program's performance by using a better GPU.
But then, why does a new driver not improve performance, and rather, simply "bring a degraded performance back to previous levels"?
Well, that has to do with auto-updates, and the way drivers are distributed.
While, in a world where one would have to manually update everything, a new driver would almost certainly mean better performance for a given program, most programs in our world auto-update automatically (and sometimes even, silently). And the developers are usually on top of things wrt drivers, because they follow drivers updates closely, get early versions, etc.
Meaning that when a driver is updated, your apps usually are, too. In a way that leverage the new driver for more processing, rather than faster processing. But unlike your automatically updated apps, your drivers are updated manually.
And the consequence of such updates, when you are too slow to update your drivers, is a degraded experience.
Not because anyone artificially throttled your device's performance, but because you lag too much behind expected updates.
Seeing that I'm a senior dev, take it any way you want.
How about blackholing google to limit the damage instead? And you could limit it further by not using services that you know feed data to google.
I feel cucked having google only get most of my traffic. I am an alpha male, I want them to get all of my traffic.

Oh. Yes, that makes sense. I read it too literally I suppose ("better to test" as in "better to give it a try", while "better to try it first" was meant). 🤪 thank you! 🙏
Thank you very much for this post. I'm glad someone did the effort of getting some of those and presenting them from the PoV of a first time experience. I was curious.
However, I'm not sure what you meant with:
BUT when I shared it with others, people in body reported less effectiveness due to thickness of skin and under-dermal stuff, so it's better to test it if you aren't skinny as a skeleton.
At first it sounds like you say that overweight people have trouble using them (which is logical, the device needs to touch the bones), but then you go on saying that it doesn't work for underweight people? I'm confused. Could you please elaborate a little? Thanks 🙂
I'm not one for labeling music in genres, so I'll write my answer in two parts: the "canonical" information, with artists documented as "IDM" artists on Wikipedia, and the "personal" information, which I think fits the so called "IDM" genre, but don't quote me on that, I wouldn't really know. This is "best effort".
Canonical answer:
Orbital, aphex twin, and boards of Canada come to mind, but that's more for the curious casual reader of this thread, as I'm sure you already know them. Also John Tejada, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Moderat, which are less known.
Personal answer:
I dunno if I would say that they fit in "IDM", but I really enjoy the music of the artist Siriusmo. Also (in no particular order, all this could be hit or miss for you, so don't dismiss it all because you don't like one) Sasha, Kaito, Ernest Saint Laurent, Vessels, Barker & Baumecker, and pretty much everything under the labels monkeytown and Kompakt (respectively based in Berlin and Koln). I'm not sure where the genre lines stop tho, so you might add Nick Warren, Phil k, Dave seaman, John Digweed, etc. to that. Labels renaissance (the British one) and Global Underground.
I would not call that a "privacy proxy", it is very disingenuous. It is a normal proxy, which replaces the technical metadata from your connection, so that automated tracking is harder. But it will not replace or remove any of your input. And you can easily be tracked that way too.
