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

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.

Same with Amazon Videos.

AFTER I PAID it told me my os does not support hd quality Playback.

With kodi and a plugin I got it working to run at 1080p

Saved it with OBS out of spite.

Changing the user agent unfortunately didn't work.

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

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