    Redhat would randomly interrupt your test and ask you to stand up, pick up the camera and show the room

      Privacy invasion. I doubt that would hold water in the EU.
      Also, do we really want to normalize mandatory cameras broadcasting from people’s homes? Where’s the outrage?

      It’s really useless too. If I wanted to cheat on a test so fucking bad, I’d learn to read braille and just stick reference material under my desk.

        I’d clone my monitor to a second monitor in another room and then use an AirPod or something similar to communicate with someone searching for the answers using the second screen and a second device.

          When I did those tests, checking your ears was a required step. Plenty of other subtle ways to communicate though

          There was an actual person that went through a checklist when I had to do my online stuff. They would look at graphics settings and things like xbox bars and such. I guess some people can get really creative. It was irritating having to have a ‘clean’ account so they wouldn’t get access to anything that I wanted private.
