bro, my math and calc professor made us use this for our course despite the fact that our college really wants profs to stop using 3rd party sites like these and just use Brightspace.

It was like $100 CAD too. And it's a fucking WEBSITE. Why is windows required? Do you need to ring 0 access so I can solve a derivative or something????

I just tried to do a certification exam with these pricks a few hours ago. It was my first time and I was not expecting the degree of privacy-violating photos they would need of my workspace. I work in my bedroom and my desk wasn't clean enough. I think. I could barely understand what the guy was saying due to his thick accent. I think I got disconnected twice and just gave up. Fucking scam. All for a worthless piece of fucking paper to prove I can do the same job I've been doing for the past 13+ years.

Same pearson selling linux books

[–] SkidFace@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Yep, absolutely unnecessary too. I run into this too but there doesn’t seem to be any issue after dismissing it. The audacity to say “upgrade”, I hate Pearson so much and this is barely scratching the surface of their garbage :P

I had that problem too. Thing is, nothing was broken and everything was fine. It just whined at me.

The Pearson website for assignments and exercises is definitely in by bottom-ten user experiences on the internet. And it's even a paid tool! Fuck pearson

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 4 points 23 hours ago

Also, fuck the profs for choosing to use it, and make it a requirement for a course.

There s a place where you can name and shame in a permanent searchable record: https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Main_Page

Be the change you want.

Just spoof your user agent string. You'll eventually find one they like.

I couldn't even use a virtual machine for my cert I had to use a Friends computer to even do anything and even that it was incredibly hard because I had to disable things to make it work. Fuck Pearson fuck them to hell completely.

Haiku OS stumbles into the room, gags at the PearsonVue stench, beats a hasty retreat

Change your user agent. There's a bunch of extensions for that and they don't compromise functionality.

I tried to download Microsoft Office on Linux Mint and I couldn't even download the exe (to run through wine), I needed to go to Windows to download it ... now I just need to make it work (I am in the 1% of people who actually need official Excel)

This might be the right case to use a VM. Though, I just keep a spare SSD with Windows.

They mean downgrade

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Spin up a VM with windows 95 and try again.
