A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There are a lot of test proctoring services that only work on chrome that are required by schools/universities too. I hate the services, but I don't want to fail my exams, and these online tests/proctoring services are getting more and more common post-pandemic-isolation.
Ah yes, proctoring malware, because human teachers are just too expensive (but legions of highly-paid administrative staff, mysteriously enough, aren't too expensive).
At least you can confine the malware in a virtual machine right now, but that won't be the case for much longer. I'm glad I don't have any children…
