In my view, this is unacceptable…

They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read “Learn more about this photo”, and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with this on a daily basis.

    I bought a cheap laptop for school just to run their windows anti cheat crap. Do you have to run something similar?

      Fortunately, no. My school expects me to use XAMPP (a LAMP stack but without “L” cuz it’s on Windows) and Microsoft Office applications like Word, Access, and Excel.

      While in the case of LAMP, I can install the individual services (Apache, PHP, MySQL) myself from command line, Microsoft Office applications won’t work like that.

        I guess I should count myself lucky everything is expected in be turned in as a PDF and Google docs is used for everything else. The anticheat recognizes it’s running on a VM and throws and error.
