My bank blocks it completely. I can never log in without changing the user agent.
They canβt even use proper punctuation in their error messages? Is this that AAAA+ software I keep hearing about?
I fail to see any mistake. A comma belongs to either side of the word "Linux" there.

man i hate those online content that you MUST pay to do homework for the courses. They were over priced and back when i use them, they didnt even grade the homework correctly. E.g. the stupid Mastering series Mastering Physics, Mastering Chemistry and Cengage. I once spent 3 days on a problem because the system didnt like how I wrote the answers. So something like
- coordinate (3x,space herey)
instead of what they want:
- coordinate (3x,y)
Haha eat me :)
Everyday for me! They let us close and ignore it for now...
Have you tried the lutris/steam options? I'd love to know there are options if people can't avoid it.
Oh, haha. This is for a school homework website called Pearson. I've always had it for my math classes.
Since it's a web application, you can simply change your user agent to get rid of this warning. But it's annoying since I'd rather not have an extra extension installed to do so. Lol.
They added an OS check to a website? What's next, checking if your desk is sturdy enough to carry the weight of their javascript?
That's fine, I don't know what Pearson's course is and I'm not really interested. So, ah, "Remind me later", I guess...

They forgot to put the word 'upgrade' in air quotes.
