Final update with the job: despite me changing my settings, my device still could not pass the test (hexbear.net)

Yep... to be clear, the test is a load test. It consists of a bunch of people being in a Google Meet call, and I have to share my screen and play four 1080p YouTube videos at once as there are 9 other people in the call to put a lot of pressure on my processor.

Unfortunately, in the process, my CPU has a utilization of around 90% for the most part, and they say, for that reason, it didn't pass the test.

For this reason, I'll have to move on from trying with this job, but at least I got this far.

People are right, this sort of job should be sending you a computer.

Yeah this “job” sounds more like a straight up scam by the second. I bet their employees deal with some kind of predatory and impossibly difficult metric-based pay of calls received, etc. and are constantly “forgetting” to pay people and offer no benefits and have a turnover rate of 12,000% per year

While $10 and a shit day are better than $0, the right job is out there. 100% dodged a bullet here.
