Down for all students at my University… it’s going to be a headache for all professors to deal with extending due assignments.

I like this list, thank you!

I’d never heard of that… do you have an article about it so I can read up?

English speaking content moderators that are also happy to endorse CCP propaganda…

Well that’s odd and creepy to make

I do wish openhaystack would be updated for MacOS 15, currently using a fork from a PR because of changes in MacOS 15’s mail app.

Care to elaborate?

You don't even know what a write-off is! Do you?

The closest one because why does this matter, again?

If anyone’s looking to jailbreak their kindle, the ‘mobileread’ forums are a great place to start.

No, that’s just India

At least your honest with your username.

Seems like a very editorialized title. The podcast is called ‘Aquired’ and it’s recently become semi-popular.

Article also on github [1]

Acquire a copy of windows long term service contract? LTSC is pretty stable and debloated.

Is there any self hosting documentation that’s not on your discord? I’m personally not a fan of discord, and would rather read documentation on your site or GitHub where it should belong.

All depending on an ambiguous ’Retro’ requirement. Would an out of production device be ‘retro’? If so, then Switch 2’s ~2025 upcoming release would retro-ify many games.

I guess we’ll see soon based on what passes app review.

Forgot about Folium.

No ads… no subscription… how? I’m not complaining but this doesn’t seem sustainable.

Also the ‘about us’ page 404s

We need this spyware banned immediately. I’m glad that this bill has bipartisan support.

Also, for anyone wondering, the password for every student (the one that prevents people from taking the test at home) is 8 characters and *extremely* easy to guess. I won’t say it here, but given that this code grants access to take the test in the first place, you’d think it would be more complicated.

Hi HN, I’m currently sitting in a testing center right now, and the technicial issues are real. Among other things, the testing app needed a last minute update, the preloaded test on the app failed to load for everyone, and the Wi-Fi is down/at a crawl from people using it to download said update. This is fun.

It would not surprise me if the test was delayed last minute due to a security issue. I've seen firsthand the level of security in the testing application, and it is worryingly lacking. Did you know that they literally link 'desmos.com/calculator' as the calculator in the math section? That's opening the door to all sorts of security issues. And they're certainly saving money, the digital is the same cost as the paper[1].

Would not 'losing steam' on a long test be indicative of motivation and also be part of the test? Remember, the test is a lot more than the questions; the test is also about pacing and focus.

Can confirm that yes, it is testing center/school campus testing day only.

Is this change motivated by issues regarding self pacing? I think that to the Collegeboard, the change to digital was to make it easier to distribute and easier to take (digital, shorter time). However, I think that this has some unintended consequences in how it will limit student freedom to self-pace, and the possibility of unjust scores if the student does not make the qualifying 'second stage' difficulty on the adaptive part.

Good luck with your upcoming test!

Thanks for the kind words! When I heard that the test would be digital, I rushed to sign up for a paper section, and was lucky enough to get a slot (and a good score). I'm only now taking the digital because my school is offering it on campus, and that's just too convenient to pass up.

Yes. A virtual machine specifically bypasses any on-device protections, protections which the terms of service indicate they have. However, I think the primary deterrent to cheating here would be as you mentioned the proctor and the other students.

To get around this, I theorize a more subtle overlay could be fashioned (imagine some sort of screen reader that speaks chatGPT-generated answers through the provided earbuds). However, at that point you could spend your time studying for the test in the first place.

They have a ‘secure environment’ but the testing app ‘Bluebook’ is also available for download for practice tests and even to the general public. They have a chromeOS PWA, a Mac Universal app, and a Windows version.

I can also personally attest that the app will run perfectly happy inside a Windows virtual machine, even inside the ‘secure testing mode’, as this is how I personally took the 11th grade PSAT a few months ago.

As a current high school student who will be taking the digital SAT this March, I can assure you that paper is alive and well both in the classroom and in testing. I don’t love the new digital testing system, and I see it as a failure of their system that students can no longer self pace through the test.
