Bear in mind that the people coming up with this stuff are not completely stupid. Completely corrupt and ignorant perhaps, but not so inept that if they write legislation that strongly encourages practically everyone to use a VPN to avoid the bullshit it isn't a good possibility that their aim (or the aim of those manipulating them) is to generate excuses to eventually make easy-to-use commercial VPN services illegal. Obviously many of us could get around such a ban with ease, but the more difficult they make it the fewer people will do it. There are reasons why not every kid on your average street is an I2P user. What they can't effectively ban they'll suppress by other means.

Instead of zero as a comparison base, the report uses a pseudo count of one, concluding that the risk is 65 times higher
How delightfully nonsensical. I hope the authors were well-paid for their efforts.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a repatriate full of cryptobiotes.
The morally correct course of action for an international Internet-based business facing this situation would be to cut all ties with the UK, make sure you have no business presence there at all, and then duly ignore their laws.
But that might make the shareholders unhappy I guess.
It's nice to have ntsync, I've been using it for a few weeks. Knowing that the thread sync api is solid means one less thing to worry about when debugging modded skyrim.
Your other doubts and concerns seem slightly biased, e.g. wondering what settings could be tweaked on only one of the systems being tested and then reminding us all that there do still exist some things that won't run on SteamOS. It's only that one that is outright ridiculous.
Did the author run the benchmarks few times to rule out shader compilation
Really grasping at straws there, eh? I'm no big fan of Ars but I hope we can assume they're not quite that incompetent.
In the early 2000s I actually thought made sense to buy a console, since not many games would run on linux.
continued innovations from major players like Microsoft
MS using its massive reserves of innovation to acquire many of the major game studios.
Paid and freeware but either way non-free, unfortunately.
Did they? That's got to be a pretty bad sign for national dignity.
Anyway, it's a good choice of flag.
