Public/Guest WiFi Navigation
Hard BlockI confirm my device allows connecting to guest/public WiFi networks, including navigating captive portals if required by the venue.
Corporate VPN Restrictions
Hard BlockI confirm my device is not restricted by a corporate VPN or strict firewall that could block access to the lab environments.
Browser Compatibility & Policies
Hard BlockI have verified my browser is up to date (Chrome and Edge are preferred, but other modern browsers will work provided the lab URLs load successfully).
Incognito / Private Browsing
Soft BlockI have verified that I am able to open and successfully use Incognito Mode (or Private Browsing) without it being disabled by corporate IT policies.
Clipboard Access (Copy/Paste)
Soft BlockI have configured browser settings to allow unrestricted clipboard access for code snippets (not blocked by Data Loss Prevention software).

Understanding Status Types
This indicates a strict requirement. If a URL doesn't load successfully or if your corporate VPN absolutely cannot be disabled, you may need to use a loaner laptop to participate. Please select "Issue / Doesn't load" or "No / Blocked" on those rows to let organizers know you may need alternative hardware.
This indicates a recommended requirement. If you experience an issue here (such as unable to copy-paste natively due to corp limits), it may cause minor friction during the lab, but you can typically proceed without needing a loaner laptop.
