    I think it’s a web app, and it shouldn’t matter what fucking OS I use.

      School apps and testing software has tons of DRM. And for good reason. That’s the problem.

        And for good reason

        There is never a good reason for DRM.

          Of course there is. In this particular case it prevents cheating.

            @ShittyRedditWasBetter @Malfeasant

            How does it prevent cheating exactly? I can just fire up a windows VM and it won’t know that I am looking stuff up even when proctoring I’d assume.

            I’ve been fortunate to not have to deal with Pearson, so I am not talking from experience.

        What good reason would an educational resource get to have tons of DRM?

            How does DRM(Digital Rights Management) that has as function the blocking of copying or “blocking non legitimate access” of copyrighted media prevent cheating?

            Because that is far different as things like access to tests answers, because that is not the same than copyright.
