I think it will be a little while before the 2.1 nspire show up on shelves, but I am wondering if the Nspires with the touchpads built in will even be downgradeable at all.

Yeah, I heard that this protection has been around since the beginning, but that it did not work on older models or something. I get worried on newer Nspires the protection will be even stronger.

Mhmm I see. It doesn't really necessarly mean the dealers they provide aren't scams, though. TI site is generally outdated. By the time they updated it until now, the company that sold the Nspire could have been bought by another group and went under without warnign anyone. I tend to be careful when buying stuff online.

Still, I would think this site is ok since they do have the touchpad Nspires.  They have only been out for a few months.  If the site was a scam, I would think that they would not have listed new products.

Well we never know sometimes. Some thieves are professionals and sometimes they may even seem to be more legit than actual legit companies. I personally only ever buy from sites like Ebay or Amazon where we got protections if we don't get the item. on Amazon I bought a CD from Calibris on the marketplace once. They never sent it and I got a refund almost immediately after I contacted Amazon.

To those who still think we can factor the keys: I suggest you to read the http://ourl.ca/6236 topic both entirely and carefully ;)
1) we don't have access to the special algorithms and implementations, made by the top researchers of the field, that enabled factoring RSA-768.
2) these researchers, in their paper about RSA-768, estimate that a) RSA-1024 is about a thousand times harder (-> certainly requires improvements to the aforementioned, private algorithms, and even more special clusters of computers for the post-processing stages) than RSA-768 and b) such efforts need professional full-time supervision.
3) it can be derived from the above (I wrote it somewhere, maybe not on Omnimaga) that we need 10000 to 100000 TB of storage space...

I guess it's a no-go, then.

If there's no exploit in OS 2.1 and the future OSes, then TI has won the battle against Ndless...

Well, Ndless 2 is still in active development (I think), so you'll never know what ExtendeD and friends will come up with :)

True, but what I mean is if somehow, TI managed to successfully fix every possible exploits in 2.1 (or if they do in the next OS) and manages to not introduce new ones. No one is perfect so there are little chances that this happens, but we never know.

That said, if people confirm on touchpad calcs, OS 2.1 can be downgraded to 2.0, an Ndless 2 that only runs on 1.7 and 2.0 could do the job for as long as TI makes 1.7 and 2.0 available on their site (I wouldn't be surprised if they were gone by now, though.)

Yes, TouchPads can be downgraded from 2.1 to 2.0.

I guess the protection that's borbidding downgrades to OSes older than 2.0 is exactly the same.

It does sound good to me...

If we manage to break the OS 2.1 protection oncalc...
Then by the same way, we are breaking the TouchPad protection.


TI is really stupid. Before the releease of OS 2.1, we knew allmost nothing about the TouchPad protection :p
