Mostly a "mildly infuriating" thing, but I had to setup my testing environment for a midterm.

First issue, my room is messy af lol, so I don't wanna be there and have the auto proctor be like "YOU COULD BE CHEATING!1!11!" because I've got stuff in the background, so I try to find a spot at my campus library, but bitches are loud af even on the upper floors.

Second issue, "Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS only" Sigh. Not suprised but, now I have to boot into my Windows partition that I haven't used in about half a year. And then redownload the coding environment again... Also fuck Microslop's file management and Onedrive. I love digging through folders figuring out where shit.

Third issue, the fucking testing environment just won't work when I do the device check. Had to download a bullshit extension to "lock down" the browser and get camera/mic access for the test, but it couldn't get my camera permission for some reason. Reload and re-setup like 5 times, no dice.

Fourth issue, even after disabling like every extension I had on UNGOOGLED chromium, I give up and download Google Spyware Chrome from scratch, re-login to everything, download the extension, and then FINALLY the rest of the setup works. Do a sweep of the room I'm in with the cam, and then test. Basically wasted like 30-40 mins setting up and downloading shit.

I was unsure if the proctor who reviews the footage would disapprove of me using the school computers because they're typically in an open environment (noise, people, books), so that's why I used my laptop instead of downloading the spyware to the school PCs. Similarly I did this test kinda last minute (due Sunday) so I couldn't just schedule an in person time on campus (I don't wanna drive on the weekend lol)
