So, what if I run the browser in a VM, and cheat in a second VM? With a secondary input device to switch between which VM is displayed on my screen? Or even an overlay?

They’d be completely fooled.

It’s completely useless, and so needlessly invasive.

If you can cheat that well, I think you'd be probably be qualified for the job. Especially considering the "USB type C" cables they sell.

If it looks like you're typing, and you're not entering any text into the test, they can infer what's going on.

I have a solution for that, too, and verified it kinda works (just needs some improvements).

If you stick a magnet to your tongue, and move it around, a modern phone can recognize that even from below the desk.

So if you had a tongue piercing, and magnetic jewelry for that, you could use that as a crude input device that’s invisible.

Why not just put a second laptop on your desk?

They have a human watch you all the time through the camera, so they’d notice if you look anywhere else. And they require you to show them all around your room first, to prevent that.

That’s why you install the system below the desk, and use it that way.

Holy hell, did I miss that or wasn't it mentioned? This might even be the most invasive of all.
