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 months 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

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They mean downgrade

[–] rei@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

Spin up a VM with windows 95 and try again.
