Its been quite a while since I’ve taken a proctored exam, but then all the proctors would clear all the memory on your calc before they’d let you use it for test. Is that not the case anymore?
The launcher program can be downloaded on-demand, avoiding detection if a teacher inspects or clears the calculator’s memory
If I understood it correctly, the Wi-Fi module appears as a standard calculator-to-calculator interface, so built-in commands can install the cheat apps at any time.
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.
They added wifi with a extra circuit board hidden inside the calculator case. It’s connected to the calculators communication port, and pretends to be another calculator. So they can use the calculator’s built in “send” function to send variables/text/etc to the hidden card, which then uses it’s internet connection to look up answers and send the results back.
It’s possible to get to the last day and have a lot of money, which is your “score.” The world leaderboards have some ridiculous highscores on the remake called Dope Wars.
I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What would happen if now plug in another calculator? AFAIK that only a P2P connection and never meant for >2 parties.
Bring your calculator to the Spanish exam. Trust me, this plan is flawless.

The article said it can be download “on demand” so that might make the clearing pointless.

Wat? Does it have wifi?

Yep
Sounds fake but okay.
It sounds fake because it sounds like they only used software hacks. But they also added a microcontroller board in it with wireless networking
I used to store formulas in basic programs in my ti84 but they were never useful because I didn’t need help memorizig formulas
I did the same, but it was helpful because I’m terrible at memorization.
I just wrote programs that would solve the complicated multi step problems and show me the work.
“ChatGPT what is the formula for Work Done in an enclosed system expressed as a triple integral?”
“42”
“Ok cool ty.”
Stop giving me Thermo nightmares; I lived through that shit already I don’t need to sleep through it too.
Yeah but at least work on an enclosed system is always zero. Idk why but I always chuckle about that.
Sure, you can prove it in like 4 to 8 lines of multivariate calculus, but its always gonna be 0.
But can you still play Drug Wars?
Has anyone ever beaten that game? Is it even possible?
The earliest exponention clicker game I ever discovered. Lost dozens of hours to ti83 drug wars
No one has beaten The Game, but it is possible. We just need to wait for the Pope to declare that it has come to an end

That is a strategy guide.
I have never managed to do it.
