Would someone mind telling me why TI Connect CE claims that my Ti-84+SE has 131kb RAM? Shouldn't it be 128kb?
-
128kb = 128*1024 = 131072 bytes, so they're just using the decimal SI prefixes.
-
Aaaahh.... So TI doesn't know to use binary?! Or are they doing this to confuse users?
-
Wait, so TI is actually admitting that TI-84+SEs have more than 24 KiB of RAM? I thought they never would do that O.O

Nope, they are just using the International System of Units (SI) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units) version of the Kilobyte (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte) which states that since kilo used as a prefix means 1000 (103), a Kilobyte is 1000 bytes. Basically they are using the internationally accepted Metric measurement.

They just say that it's got 24KB of available RAM. (https://education.ti.com/en/products/calculators/graphing-calculators/ti-84-plus-se?category=specifications) (Notice the KB not the KiB)
