    I ran into this before too, I believe I got around it with a User Agent changer… that or a windows 10 VM with 2 cores and 2GB of RAM that ran only Firefox… or you may be able to just press remind me later and suffer little/no consequences

    I think it’s just because people that use Linux are generally more technologically inclined and are more likely to try and get around their crappy DRM

    “Our spyware is not able to accommodate your platform.”

    The horror stories I’ve read about what you give the software access to do (assuming there’s truth to them; I’ve never run it myself).

    Edit: I’m realizing now your screenshot is probably for a web course.

      It’s hilarious how bad it is

      I won’t ramble but I’m a cybersecurity professional with a lot of certs and… I’ve played with it (Pearson VUE)

      Hey Pearson, I have completely defeated your anticheat measures. Ironically, have used my expertise to pass cybersecurity exams. Fight me.

      Hey OP, use a free windows VM. Guess how many monitors your VM has? Guess how many your host can have? Yeah.

      This was 2019, so they may have gotten past that but I tells ya… For folks testing cybersec pros, they sure don’t have airtight opsec.

      I found more, but cannot responsibly disclose 😊

          Most money moves because a retarded manager/executive has a retarded idea, I’m sure of it.
