"Upgrade"

I have this exact problem when I have to manage Apple devices for work. Nothing that user agent switcher can't fix.

Some websites do this.

Change the user agent to windows and it works.

Fuxk you piece of shit!

Amazon does this too. After you bought a movie you can't watch it in full hd on Linux. User agent doesn't help.

However if you tell their api that you are an smart tv running Linux it works....

Seriously, fuck Pearson. Garbage company.

It's kinda wild that an IT Certification company can't handle Linux, but I'm sadly not surprised.

Pearson is indirectly asking you to pirate their courses.

Pearson is the worst

Not surprising

Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?

This is like "upgrading" from a Ferrari to a Ford.

pirate the book, they clearly don't deserve your money

No ty. :)

Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their "solution" was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.

I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.

Ughgggh. Am I gonna need to get a device I can put propriety garbage on for school?

I should be fine right? A software dev program couldn't possible force you to use windows right?

DRM - the bane of good user experience.

GOG nailed it - no DRM, low prices, convenience.

If most book publishers released their texts with new features (e.g. linking references, or adding additional notes to proofs/solutions) they'd get their sales. Instead they just slap DRM on and...

Yeah I’m not going to buy ebooks that expire so quickly.

Let me guess, it's a webpage?

"upgrade" no you mean emulate/switch.

One way to get around that is changing the user agent. I've never changed the user agent and had a loss of functionality, it always seems like they have a stupid user agent check just to make sure you're using windows/chrome.

"Upgrade?"

Also I remember these Pearson pricks downgraded everyone's BTEC results for an assignment on "the future of the media industry" as they got some boomer to mark it who didn't do any research himself

the "key features" being the ones with drm
