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

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

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.

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'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

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

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)

They mean downgrade

if it's in a browser fake ur user agent

Spin up a VM with windows 95 and try again.
