Maybe with some specific use case related to gpu rendering or something, but even then it would be more like forcing it to repaint part of the screen not clicking in the right place.
As a developer, I can say with confidence that generally there’s just no way that clicking a random spot will help the code suddenly execute correctly or faster or help a resource free up so execution can continue or whatever.
There’s just way too many kinds of freezes and lagging that this advice is all but useless and akin to a placebo at best.
it’s an interrupt of sorts, isn’t it? if the OS has frozen all other threads but the mouse is still operable, sending repeated clicks/IRQs could saturate the CPU’s limited interrupt buffer and force it to pause or kill the hanging process
