What do you mean upgrade?

Upgrade your user agent with this one weird trick!

Upgrade, ha?

OK, time to install TempleOS.

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.

Fuck Pearson. Absolute leeches on society.

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

Software gore? Actually more likely software cringe.

EDIT: I think this one is more fit !assholedesign@lemmy.world

You can install a useragent switcher extension for the browser

Just change your user agent. Fuckers have no business knowing.

You need to update to Linux 2.

upgrade to an inferior OS, ofc

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

Downgrade, people. DOWNGRADE!

I'm going to guess it's because they wanted to account for older windows operating systems and they made that everything that isn't like windows 7+ mac and stuff it pops this message and the linux string is probably taken by the useragent.

sorry for bad English

This brings me back to the days when we wished we could punch someone via the internet.

Totally not paid my Microsoft to try and force people to use their bullshit

Means ascend to BSD

Discovered this with Pearson as well last year. Couldn't use my phone either because the mobile site is so terribly implemented

"key features" being their spyware bot that they only got working in Windows and Mac.

Can you pirate these courses?

I have a feeling they're not just FreeBSD enthusiasts being pedantic...

Don't tell me I won't be able to view my books on my pc

Uhm acthually Linux is not an ,emph, operating shystem it is a kernel

Does it depend on a binary or is it really a website requiring an operating system?

How dare they!

Permanently Deleted

They mean an OS that is actually widely supported.

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