If an interviewer asks a question and you don't know the answer, how would you approach it appropriately? keen on any advice

@applicant3000 the best approach is to first take a minute to think about the answer, and let them know you just need to think. If however, the answer doesn't come to you, let them know that you'd not considered this topic before or cannot recall a piece of information AND if you're willing to give it a go anyway, then proceed to do so. It's not as devastating as you think it is, if you approach it in an open manner.

I’ve not seen a PFO since the cycle started, but people are saying it’s selective.

The AI has performed the natural obligations

If you screen recorded yourself taking an amberjack test, would the system detect it? asking for uhh... a friend

It depends what you mean by screen recording and on which platform. I use Windows - I have no information about Apple.
If you were to use a screen recording app, the answer is no, it is not possible.
It is theoretically possible for a website to watch for keystrokes. However, printscreen is typically handled by Windows and wouldn't be intercepted.
The obvious thing that they can easily capture is loss of focus. Thus for example if you change windows, they can detect that.

Now that I think about it… if Netflix can detect screenshots/screen recording and black out your screen without you authorising anything. Tell your friend to forget that.

GRAD REC GON GET THEM!

Netflix can't detect it, it's hardware-accelerated video which means it goes behind screenshot functionality, hence a black screen.
If you disable hardware-accleration you can take screenshots as normal.
