Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.

I’ve had to provide my transcript for several job applications. Government ones seem to usually ask.
We are talking about lawmakers making this demand. They don’t have a fucking clue what the difference is between all these possibilities.
I get that - and that’s a fine choice. I suppose my point is that I view Google the company, the entire entity, as the enemy of privacy. Therefore, I want nothing to do with them if at all possible, on any level.
I will admit it’s depressingly difficult, the whole reason I’m looking at this is because my old iPhone is nearly dead and I’ve been wanting to get away from them for awhile too. It feels like I’m looking at American politics. Both major parties suck for different reasons but anyone else looks like roadkill by comparison.

Every excuse in the world to keep using products brought to us by the enemy of privacy. This is why there are so few options.
And yes, that’s part of my concern. Even if others don’t notice, I still know. I still would be a hypocrite, railing on google for their bullshit, and then still using their products.
I’m not really judging anyone for buying a Pixel and taking the easy way out. Trying to maintain privacy with tech is a major pain in the ass, it gets tiresome quickly. But holy shit, people in this privacy community sure are quick to rail on me for trying to avoid the largest offender in privacy invasion.
I’m literally in the process of trying to find one.
I’m not delusional, I don’t think I’m going to single handedly bankrupt google, but I would really prefer to not support them in any way.
Some people are suggesting second hand Pixels so Google doesn’t get my money, but that’s still free advertising for them when I’m seen using it. It’s sort of like I don’t want to wear a google shirt when I’m completely against them.
Cause fuck Google, that’s why. I will likely indeed vote with my wallet, right now eyeing a fairphone with /e/OS but have not decided yet. It might not be the latest and greatest but I’m finding I don’t really use all the bells and whistles anyway. Give me email, web browsing, a basic camera, and maps, and that’s 90% of what I do on my phone so it looks like a suitable candidate. If I already had a google device then maybe Graphene is a great option, but I’m not further rewarding google by buying their spyware and having to mod it.
Ooo a privacy phone… that requires buying a google phone. Fuck that, I’m not shelling out money to the very company causing most of these concerns.
This is by far the most confusing part when I consider switching over - which one to get? Primarily Steam gaming, but I saw someone mention the Nvidia cards I have might not play nice.
Not sure. It’s unverified speculation. People are weirdly attached to software these days. My answer to problems like these is to find something else. Tor seems decent.
So google is a privacy nightmare. Google pays firefox. There’s not a lot more dots to connect here. How is anyone surprised at things like this?
I feel like if they’re dumb enough to google search for amazon instead of just typing amazon.com then this is far from the only scam they’re falling for.
Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.
I keep hearing Tor is the thing now.
I wanna see Scotty installing these on the Enterprise.
I look at this thing wondering why the hell it has 9 antennas?? Or is that really just for looks? Which only raises more questions really…

Who could possibly be motivated to do such a thing??? Hmmmm
