      Have to go their testing centers for certifications. Place feels so damn sterile I wanna die, and the buzz of the fluorescent tubes is just…

      Place feels like the Backrooms but with less yellow

    Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.

      Same with Amazon Videos.

      AFTER I PAID it told me my os does not support hd quality Playback.

      With kodi and a plugin I got it working to run at 1080p

      Saved it with OBS out of spite.

      Changing the user agent unfortunately didn’t work.

    Having used Pearson products, this doesn’t surprise me at all. Thier testing software hasn’t been updated since the dawn of man.

    Pearson is stupid, but for homework you can get around it by changing your user agent. For proctoring you have to actually boot into windows though

    I really hate these guys. The exam board is petty, the content is hard, and they do bullshit like this.

    Linux users when faced with the reality that all their shit is incompatible with reality.
