Yep, absolutely unnecessary too. I run into this too but there doesn’t seem to be any issue after dismissing it. The audacity to say “upgrade”, I hate Pearson so much and this is barely scratching the surface of their garbage :P
Just spoof your user agent string. You'll eventually find one they like.
I couldn't even use a virtual machine for my cert I had to use a Friends computer to even do anything and even that it was incredibly hard because I had to disable things to make it work. Fuck Pearson fuck them to hell completely.
Spin up a VM with windows 95 and try again.
... Set up firefox for windows via wine, if its a webapp?
I would Honestly just set your user agent to Windows. It is good for privacy and is the default for Librewolf.
Ezpz just use wine or set up a VM and exfil the data you need
Time to download Virtualbox
Is Virtualbox still considered the go-to VM program? I haven't been keeping up.
Very much no
Use libvirtd/Qemu on Linux and Hyper-V on Windows
Neither have I really. It’s the last one I used, which was like 5 years ago.
These days I’m mostly using docker containers but all my docker containers as well as my hosts are flavors of Linux so YMMV.
