I would love to build a small physical device at my home wifi router level that detects these network patterns (certain IP addresses and data patterns). Then blocks those network streams. I think the correct fix is to intermittently block them so that the user gets a small drip and don't realize its broken so they don't try to find a workaround like turning off wifi.

I have a very similar issue and likely the same cause. What has helped for me: Cortisone shots (temporarily relief but not a fix), losing weight, core strengthening activities and switching to a standing desk 100% of the time. YMMV. 43yr old male, lifelong developer.

This is one of my favorite test cases:

Prompt: Here is a riddle. It is a common riddle but with some changes that make it more difficult. You are an alien that will live for at least 10000 years. You have no sense of temperature. you can not feel hot or cold. you have eyes and can see. you are in a house. downstairs are 3 light switches that control 3 light bulbs that are upstairs. Each light bulb will last for exactly 3 years. you can tell by looking at a bulb if it has burned out after 3 years. devise a strategy to determine which switch controls which light. ChatGPT 4 The standard solution to this problem involves using the heat generated by the bulbs, but since you as an alien can't feel temperature, we need to utilize the fact that these bulbs have a specific lifespan of 3 years. Here's a strategy:

Turn on the first switch and wait for 3 years. After 3 years, turn it off.

Right after turning off the first switch, turn on the second switch.

Leave the third switch off throughout this process.

Now, go upstairs to inspect the bulbs:

The bulb that is off and has burned out is controlled by the first switch. This bulb was turned on for 3 years, so it has reached the end of its lifespan and burned out.

The bulb that is on is controlled by the second switch. You turned this on right after turning off the first switch, so it's still functioning.

The bulb that is off and hasn't burned out is controlled by the third switch. This switch was never turned on, so the bulb is still in a brand-new condition.

This strategy ensures that you can confidently identify which switch controls which bulb.
