It's when they make you do like 20 of them. Bitch you already stopped the DDOS let me see my balance fuck.
Sony has the most annoying ones, which are designed to prevent people from submitting tickets. They'll show you like 10 dice, and ask what they add up to. They make you solve like 16 of them before they let you continue. Shit should be illegal.
The math ones are ridiculous.
Guess what computers are inherently great at?
Math.
Because they're not there to stop computers, they're there to stop people from getting legitimate support from a company that owes it to them.
Those "select tiles with a bicycle" are us training image recognition programs.
No, CAPTCHAs these days track mouse movements and other factors. They make you second guess if something should be included because, as a human, that's going to be something you do. And it'll be obvious from both that hesitation and your squishy, inaccurate mouse movements that you're a human.
Can't track mouse movements on mobile though
You used to could, on Blackberry at least.
at that point i just assume im the one they are keeping out and just close the tab

They'll make you listen to Vogon poetry. If your head explodes, you're not a bot.
